Fulfilling the

promise of Paris –

quality infrastructure

for the energy sector

By PTB Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt
How rigorous testing and certification can make sure renewable and energy efficiency
technologies deliver on climate change goals.

Renewable energies and energy efficiency play a key performance specified, or will even be faulty. To ensure
role in achieving mitigation targets and they thereby the comparability of data, measurement procedures
combat climate change. When generating energy, the must be harmonised and the correct measurement
efficiency, the quality and the operating life of systems instruments must be calibrated. Recognised certificates
are of key importance. To test the profitability of such certify the compliance of products and components with
efficient energy systems, an earnings prognosis based binding standards. Metrological and testing services
on reliable measurement data (e.g. radiation intensity, play a decisive role during enhancements to increase
wind speed) is required. Without physically testing the efficiency and operating lifetimes of systems, and
performance, durability and reliability, there is a risk that also while characterising new materials, models and
products which have been installed will fail to deliver the procedures. Here, development and approval may
