Introduction

Electricity

Transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable energy is a monumental challenge. As solar and wind power gain momentum, it is projected that by 2030, renewables will supply 75% of our electricity. This swift transformation of the energy sector calls for innovative monitoring solutions across the new network. For example, real-time measurements must be performed simultaneously over extensive distances to ensure accurate analysis. Moreover, these rapid changes are introducing fresh challenges in metrology, where ensuring voltage quality, measuring high DC voltages, and accurately billing energy in smart grids all require novel approaches.

Geocore plays a key role in the shift toward renewable energy by engaging in international research partnerships and offering expert consultancy on innovative measurement techniques. With deep expertise in electrical metrology, we serve a diverse clientele, including measurement equipment manufacturers, energy companies, academic institutions, and accredited calibration laboratories.

Consultancy

We offer expert guidance to both manufacturers and end users, helping them refine their measurement and inspection techniques to enhance the quality of their processes and products.

Customisation

Custom electrical metrology

In the energy field, ensuring reliable and high-quality networks relies on precise, traceable measurements. Leveraging our extensive expertise in electrical measurement and data interpretation, we offer a suite of specialized services, including:

• Real-time power stability assessments for high and medium voltage systems using phasor measurement units (PMUs) for dynamic analysis.
• Smart metering studies focused on verifying the reliability and precision of static meters.
• Evaluation of Energy Management Systems (EMS) to confirm their measurement accuracy and efficiency.
• Consultancy on improving power quality in renewable energy installations, such as wind farms and solar panels.
• Eco-design assessments to analyze and optimize the energy consumption of both new and existing electrical equipment.
• Guidance on EMC measurement techniques, including the development of methods to evaluate exposure to radio-frequency and high-frequency radiation.
• Expert advice on both high-frequency (HF) and low-frequency (LF) power measurement strategies.

Every situation is unique. If you need tailored advice or would like to learn more about how we can help, please feel free to contact us.

Calibration

Electricity calibration services

Precise and verifiable measurements are essential for confirming the quality and stability of electrical products and systems. At Geocore, our state-of-the-art facilities enable us to accurately assess a range of parameters—including power, resistance, and current—across broad frequency and measurement spans, with all results traceable to primary standards. We offer calibration services for a wide variety of components, such as resistors, transformers, coils, devices for measuring transformer power loss, electromagnetic field instruments, and other electrical laboratory equipment, as well as power and high-frequency measurement tools. These calibrations support everything from accurate energy billing between suppliers and consumers to validating the performance of newly developed measurement systems. Our calibration reports, known for their low measurement uncertainty and international recognition, ensure that the certified products meet global acceptance standards.
