Power and Energy, Test Centre System

Working Group 2.33

Profile

The working area of this working group includes realization, maintenance and dissemination of electric power and energy. To achieve this, the existing measurement methods are being permanently improved and new methods are being developed. Collaboration with national and international standardization groups and projects supports a constant exchange concerning actual requirements development in the field of electric power and energy measurement technologies.
