ENERGY MEASUREMENT AND STANDARDS – THE CONTEMPORARY CHALLENGE

Klaus-Dieter Sommer, Stefan Sarge
Abstract:
The establishment of a reliable, efficient and sustainable energy supply as well as of achieving efficient use/consumption form one of the grand challenges and technological mega trends of today and the decades to come. Today, energy research and development and even field measurements for novel and renewable energies, for transmission and distribution, for (future) large-scale energy storage as well as for new energy-efficient solutions are significantly lacking in appropriate measurement technologies, future strategies, measurement standards and traceability schemes. An overview is given on the most relevant open questions and challenges to measurement and metrology. The known approaches chosen are briefly mentioned. Special attention is drawn to the current metrological research for the energy field within the EMRP.
