The Energy Security Lab
The ESL’s work focuses on national and regional energy infrastructures and the development of tools for the security analysis of the energy system, over different geographic areas and time scales.
The aim of the Lab is to improve energy planning, security and governance by providing response measures to critical areas or events (which might trigger significant consequences for the energy system), assessing them through the lenses of risk and resilience evaluation. See here
The Global Real-Time Simulation Lab
G-RTS lab, at Politecnico di Torino, is an internationally interconnected lab of real-time simulation. It is active in studying the role of electricity in energy transition, as well as new smart grids and super grids for electricity. G-RTSLab @ PoliTo is a crucial tool for studying those issues and it plays a pioneering role in developing and testing this idea of distributed real-time simulations in cooperation with RWTHAachen University (Germany) and European Commission DG Joint Research Centers in Ispra (Italy) and Petten (Netherlands).

The European Real-time Integrated Co-simulation Laboratory
ERIC-LAB is a practical implementation of a federation of laboratories located in different European member states and interconnected by means of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), enabling a cost-effective sharing of hardware and software facilities with special focus on real-time simulation. It supports the design, concept testing, regulation, technology impact analysis and compliance with network codes testing in the EU path toward smarter electricity systems. See here
The Joint Centre for Energy Transition Modelling and Simulation
The Joint Centre for Energy Transition Modelling and Simulation is the result of the partnership between Politecnico di Torino (PoliTO) and Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) with the mission to enhance research and foster technology transfer in the field of energy transition to sustainable energy systems based on electricity as a commodity. As a first trial, on March, 8th, 2018, a connection between the two Opal‐RT simulators in GRTSLab of EC‐L at Politecnico di Torino and State Energy Smart Grid R&D Center at Shanghai Jiao Tong University was established and successfully tested.
