Power Engineering

Electricity is the basis of a strong economy and a highly-developed and technological society. Electrical energy makes life easier, improves working conditions and creates amenities for industry and people which are now considered as a matter of course.

Electrotechnical and electronic components and processes work quietly and reliably in the background and every day ensure a supply of energy at the highest level. This is the purpose of the member companies of the Power Engineering Division.

The ZVEI Power Engineering Division combines the knowledge of its nearly 70 members and applies this to current discussions, such as on the renewal of the German energy system.
 

The specialist issues are dealt with in committees on the following subjects:

• Smart Grid
• Metering and system solutions
• High-voltage switchgear / equipment
• Power transformers
• Measuring transducers
• Grid control systems.

Optimal solutions are developed together through interdisciplinary cooperation with other ZVEI divisions and strong networking within the own committees.
The Power Engineering Division is a member of the European association “T&D Europe”, which represents the European manufacturers of operating equipment for energy transmission and distribution in Brussels.

The Power Engineering Division informs and advises its members on current developments in legislation and standardisation, and other relevant general conditions at the national and European level.
