This study explores the development and implementation of a simulation and emulation laboratory for energy management in systems that integrate renewable energy sources, hydrogen generation and utilization, hybrid storage, and electrical demands. The laboratory is designed based on the Hardware-in-the-Loop methodology, providing an advanced platform for teaching and learning in engineering. The experimental environment enables the integration of hybrid energy storage systems, including electrical and hydrogen-based batteries as well as supercapacitors. It serves as a sophisticated tool for analyzing, simulating, emulating, validating, testing, and developing energy management strategies tailored to specific applications. The integration of the laboratory with databases containing operational parameters and experimental models allows for the development and refinement of computational models. This facilitates a comprehensive analysis of generation and storage system behavior under various operating conditions, with a particular focus on hydrogen as an energy vector. The primary objective is to evaluate system performance and identify improvements in energy management from a hardware perspective, including instrumentation development, sensing systems, and control architectures, as well as software aspects such as optimization algorithms, control strategies, and decision-making processes. Additionally, it contributes to the modeling and simulation of system components through calibration, validation, and the development of predictive models. The implementation of this laboratory represents a valuable tool for training engineers in the field of hybrid energy systems. It enables the practical application of theoretical concepts in controlled environments and fosters the development of hands-on skills in simulation, modeling, and validation of hydrogen-based and other energy storage systems.
