This output will enhance the JAUNTY online platform by providing the ability for teachers and instructors to provide and instruct remote laboratory exercises. The concept of remote labs lies in the ability to perform lab exercises remotely via specialised software, while enabling the integration with real hardware and advanced emulation software. The curriculum of those labs will be based on the outcomes of O2 Academic Curriculum on Smart Energy Management Systems, aiming to satisfy the training and educational requirements of the energy market.

The innovative dimension of this output is the remote access of students to a real environment that enables integration with and remote control of smart grid devices, thus enabling them to acquire practical knowledge and experience on deployment and configuration of SEMS.

In this context, LTSpice, BigBlueButton, LabVIEW and Thinger.io will be utilised and deployed on a dedicated server to support remote virtual labs. Thinger.io is a web based IoT platform that provides open source libraries to connect with smart devices. It supports an easy to use interface to interact with things, as well as to collect, store and visualize telemetry data. On the other hand, LTSpice, LabVIEW is a popular platform and technological framework that enables the design of advanced electric systems, including smart grids.
