Metrology for electric vehicle charging systems

    Project: EU project

    Project Details

    Description

    Development of a sustainable transport system across Europe with electric vehicles

    The Electrical Vehicle (EV) is the core of Europe´s transition plan for the transport sector towards electromobility. The successful integration of EVs requires the deployment of an extensive EV Charging Station (EVCS) infrastructure. Thus, traceable assessment of the impact of EVCSs under realistic operating
    conditions on power quality and grid distortions is needed.

    Project develops metrology capabilities for the traceable evaluation of EVCS under realistic operating conditions.

    VTT MIKES characterises DC and dynamic performance of voltage and current transducers as well as develops a voltage attenuator for DC metering up to 1 kV to be used in DC charging reference systems.


    Call 2023: Metrology for Industry

    The project (23IND06 Met4EVCS) has received funding from the European Partnership on Metrology, co-financed from the European Union’s Horizon Europe Research and Innovation Programme and by the Participating States.
