KEMA Labs’ Solutions for Voltage Control in Renewables and EVs
27 . May . 2024

As the share of power generated from renewable energy sources increases and electric mobility becomes more prominent, voltage control is becoming increasingly complex. Ensuring adequate levels of power quality for all users is an escalating challenge. To address these issues, KEMA Labs offers advanced solutions in its state-of-the-art laboratories, providing essential support to manufacturers of electric vehicles, battery storage systems, and PV inverters.

In the FLEX Power Grid Laboratory at KEMA Labs, manufacturers can test their products in a fully controllable grid-equivalent lab capable of operating across a wide range of frequencies, harmonics, voltages, and power levels. This allows for the simulation of real grid conditions during the research and development (R&D) phase, which is crucial for bringing debugged and optimized products to market.

Testing products under these advanced conditions ensures that manufacturers can detect and resolve technical issues before launch, thereby improving the reliability and quality of the devices introduced to the market. This not only helps meet regulatory requirements but also enhances consumer trust and satisfaction.

In addition to the FLEX Power Grid Laboratory, KEMA Labs offers other global facilities, including a test bench for EV supply equipment. This bench can replicate electric vehicle charging operations, emulate the grid’s response to various events, test the electromagnetic compatibility of equipment with other products, and reproduce a wide range of climatic, mechanical, and heavy conditions.

These comprehensive testing capabilities enable manufacturers to develop robust and compliant products that can withstand real-world conditions, ensuring seamless integration into the evolving energy landscape.

KEMA Labs is committed to supporting the transition to a more sustainable and green future. By providing cutting-edge testing facilities and expert guidance, KEMA Labs empowers manufacturers to innovate and improve their products, contributing to a cleaner, more efficient energy system. Building a more sustainable and green future is not just a challenge but a shared mission between KEMA Labs and its partners.
