  • SafeFields and Veoneer target automotive EMF reduction

    SafeFields and Veoneer have agreed to commercialise automotive EMF technology. The collaboration will combine active magnetic field reduction with automotive-grade electronics production as electrified vehicle architectures raise new design and compliance considerations.


  • EnerVenue deploys AMC storage pilot

    EnerVenue commissions its first fourth-generation AMC storage pilot system. The Towngas project combines renewable generation, battery storage, and electric bus charging in China.


  • UK Power Networks releases Python data toolkit

    UK Power Networks releases an open-source electricity data toolkit today. The Python package gives researchers and energy businesses a simpler route into distribution network datasets.


  • Energy security now runs through the control room

    Energy security now reaches deep into Britain’s industrial control rooms. The King’s Speech set out new measures on clean power, nuclear regulation, electricity pricing, and cyber resilience, but the industrial test lies in connections, controllability, cost exposure, and operational technology security.


  • ScioSense targets precision smart meter designs

    ScioSense has launched a converter for low-power smart metering. The UFC23 ultrasonic flow converter is built for water, heat, gas, and leak detection meters where measurement precision and long battery life must be delivered together.


  • Versinetic expands ISO 15118 charging support

    Versinetic is expanding ISO 15118 support for EV charger manufacturers. Its modular Charging Blox platform brings together controller hardware, communication stacks, and integration tools for Plug and Charge, encrypted vehicle-to-charger communication, and bidirectional charging.


  • Connectivity Standards Alliance and OpenADR sign grid liaison

    CSA and OpenADR have agreed a grid-connected energy management liaison. The agreement is intended to align Matter-based in-home communication with OpenADR 3 grid signals, giving utilities, device makers, and service providers a clearer route for demand response and residential flexibility.


  • Generational data highlights PHEV battery variance

    Generational analysis found wider PHEV battery-health variation than BEVs overall. The 2,000-vehicle study points to strong average plug-in battery condition, but greater case-by-case uncertainty among used plug-in hybrids.


  • ABB expands European medium-voltage grid production

    ABB will invest $200 million in European medium-voltage manufacturing capacity. The programme will expand switchgear, breaker, relay, vacuum interrupter, and grid automation production across Italy, Bulgaria, Finland, Germany, Norway, and Poland.


  • Nexans turns AmpaCity into DC microgrid testbed

    Nexans has commissioned a DC microgrid pilot at AmpaCity Lyon. The installation will test 700 VDC building distribution, battery storage, EV charging, lighting, USB-C workstations, and future photovoltaic integration.
