R&D
EMC Barcelona boosts its business through research and development. Therefore, R&D projects are strategic to deliver innovative EMC solutions to our clients.
Agile Technologies for Multi-Domain Assessment of Electromagnetic Interferences
Innovative technological solutions for measuring and mitigating electromagnetic interference based on time-domain techniques. These solutions combine software and methods specifically created and optimized to use general-purpose instrumentation in evaluating conducted and radiated electromagnetic disturbances, allowing great versatility, efficiency and effectiveness compared to pre-existing technologies on the market.
Measurement system for harmonic, supra harmonic and flicker emissions in the time domain
This industrial research project aims to design a modular prototype based on proprietary technology to measure and evaluate conducted electromagnetic phenomena such as harmonic current emissions, including superharmonic and discontinuous voltage fluctuations (flickers). This technology will create new capabilities to address complex interference scenarios arising from the proliferation of non-linear loads connected to the electrical grid and meet current and future EMC regulatory requirements.
Methods for Assessing Electromagnetic Emissions of Photovoltaic Systems
To develop methods for assessing electromagnetic emissions suitable for in situ scenarios, such as renewable energy applications and large industrial machines, considering the metrological aspects necessary to ensure their adequate traceability. This project is framed within the Industrial Doctorate programme of the Spanish “Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades” and bridges the gap between the emiGO project and the EMC-STD project.
Metrology for emerging EMC standards
This project aims to contribute to the development of CISPR 37 and the revision of CISPR 11 and CISPR 16 through new electromagnetic emissions test methods for harsh environments, fully traceable time-domain measurement techniques, new calibration methods for the response to pulses of receivers, and the statistical evaluation of interferences in compliance assessments.
Metrology for electric vehicle charging systems (Met4EVCS)
This project aimed to develop of metrology capabilities for the traceable evaluation of Electrical Vehicles Charging Systems (EVCS) under realistic operating conditions.
European Doctoral Network on In-Situ Monitoring of Electromagnetic Interference
The iSENSE Doctoral Network on In-Situ Monitoring of Electromagnetic Interference aim to train a new generation of experts who possess the skills and fundamental knowledge required to effectively address our intricate and ever-evolving electromagnetic environment to tackle the issue of electromagnetic interference. Specific innovations to be expected are innovative EMI sensors and monitoring methodologies, early warning tools for detecting EMI occurrences, the formulation of novel modelling and test strategies and, overall, a greater success in avoiding EMI issues.
Agile Multi-domain Evaluation of Electromagnetic Interferences for Space Application
This project, under a spin-in approach, is aimed at overcoming complex EMI problems and meeting demanding standards and mission requirements. This project is framed within the incubation program of ESA BIC Barcelona, and with its completion, it is expected to enable stakeholders in the aerospace sector with the ability to assess their EMC problems in all phases of product development in an agile, affordable, and reliable way and to offer solutions for EMC testing addressed to SMEs in the New Space ecosystem.
