Proposal(s) title:
  • Rapid Electromagnetic Emission Check of Fixed Installations
Proposal(s) topic:

Smart Grids and Smart Metering

Impact on SMEs:

Impact on SMEs (2nd Open Call)
The alternative test methods proposed in the standards I contribute to benefit both SMEs and larger enterprises during their product certification processes, resulting in reduced costs, diminished noncompliance risks, and accelerated time-to-market for their products.

Proposal(s) title:
  • Towards Standardized Measurements of Electromagnetic Disturbances from Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
Proposal(s) topic:

Smart Grids and Smart Metering

Impact on SMEs:

Impact on SMEs (5th Open Call)
This action has the potential to positively impact SMEs and European society by addressing the challenges identified in the EV charging infrastructure. For SMEs, developing standardized procedures and traceable measurement methods creates market opportunities, enabling SMEs to design and manufacture products that meet regulatory requirements more efficiently. Moreover, the project’s focus on reliability in EVCS can increase consumer trust in SME-produced technologies, enhancing competitiveness.

Impact on society:

Impact on society (5th Open Call)
The project supports the transition to electromobility for European society, aligning with EU environmental goals. A better standardized EVCS facilitates sustainable mobility growth and ensures grid stability while providing solutions for electromagnetic disturbances and power quality issues.


Value of Research

There is a lack of standard procedures installers can employ to determine whether their installation work has caused new electromagnetic interference problems. The challenge is to develop guidelines to help detect major emissions problems in the field early to fix them promptly, in a proactive and preventive manner that are complementary and coherent with standard emissions tests as part of compliance assessment.
