Power quality and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
The wiring from substations to consumers is referred to as electricity distribution system. Consumers expect high-reliability electric power but unfortunately the quality of electricity has deteriorated in Iceland in recent years for several reasons. An important factor to consider when investing in electronic equipment, such as computers, communication systems, and computerized industrial controls, is the quality of the electricity and the operational electrical environment. To prevent unnecessary expenses later on it is important to start out with a correct assessment on the compatibility of equipment and the environment. Verkís has systematically acquired specialised expertise and experience in the power quality and reliability, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and measurement techniques. Verkís has studied compatibility, quality of voltage and disturbances in several electricity distribution systems, other electrical systems, control systems and communication systems.
