About Smart Grid Laboratory

The Smart Grid and Hydrogen Lab at the German Jordanian University (GJU), established in 2018, is a multidisciplinary research facility dedicated to advancing smart grid technologies, green hydrogen, and Power-to-X (PtX) solutions. The lab integrates renewable energy sources, energy storage systems, and intelligent grid management to enhance energy efficiency, reliability, and sustainability. It supports research in demand-side management, grid automation, and real-time monitoring, while also exploring innovative hydrogen technologies for industrial and energy applications. Through PtX, the lab investigates converting renewable electricity into hydrogen, synthetic fuels, and chemicals to promote sector coupling and decarbonization. Key projects include student capacity-building in green hydrogen and PtX, developing a cybersecurity-integrated digital twin for Jordan’s electrical network, and evaluating green hydrogen’s feasibility across economic, environmental, and technical dimensions. The lab fosters collaboration between academia, industry, and government, driving the deployment of sustainable energy solutions in Jordan and beyond.
