- New traceability for DC dynamic signals (voltage and current ramps) with slew rates ranging from 500 A/s to 10 kA/s and from 100 V/s to 10 kV/s with amplitudes up to 1200 A and voltage 3 kV. The overall target uncertainty will be 0.01 %.
- Traceable systems for AC and DC distorted power measurement even under dynamic conditions, up to 20 kV 300 A AC and 4 kV 3600 A DC.
- Novel hybrid methodology based on a combination of distributed measurements performed both on-board and at substations and a power flow model that allows the quantification under real operating conditions of the energy saving provided by the non-conventional substations.
- New measurement infrastructure for the traceable on-site determination of losses/efficiency of energy conversion inside non-conventional DC substations for railway applications.
- On-site determination of the losses of HV-LV power transformers, AC/DC, DC/AC and DC/DC converters under real operating conditions with an overall uncertainty less than 10 % of the losses. The input-output methodology will be able to provide reliable determination even for losses value lower than 3 % of the rated power.
