ENERGY MEASUREMENT AND STANDARDS – AN OVERVIEW

Klaus-Dieter Sommer, Stefan Sarge, Petra Spitzer, Ruediger Kessel

Abstract

The establishment of a sustainable energy supply as well as of achieving efficient energy consumption furnish one of the grand challenges and technological mega trends of today and the decades to come. Energy research and development and even field measurements for novel and renewable energies, for transmission and distribution as well as for large-scale energy storage are significantly lacking in appropriate measurement technologies, measurement standards and traceability schemes. An overview is given on the most relevant open questions and challenges to metrology. The known approaches chosen are mentioned. Special attention is drawn to the current metrological research for energy in Europe.
