Metrology for future energy transmission

    Project: EU project

    Project Details

    Description

    Metrology solutions for testing grid components and condition monitoring of future ultra-high voltage grids.           
               
    The increased integration of remote renewable generation has driven transmission levels to ever higher voltages in order to maintain (or improve) grid efficiency. High voltage testing beyond voltage levels covered by presently available metrology infrastructures is needed to secure availability and quality of supply.
                
    Project provides traceability for testing and calibration of components for future electricity grids and improves means for HVDC grid condition monitoring.
                
    VTT MIKES develops reference voltage dividers for 1200 kV and 1600 kV and methods for lightning impulse voltage calibration.
