Russia is working on creating a new direct current standard that will form the basis for verifying ultra-fast charging stations. According to Rosstandart, this is necessary for the development of an electric charging infrastructure network, which should grow to tens of thousands of stations by 2030.
As part of the development work, an initial standard for direct current power units is being created, and methods for transferring electrical quantities (ampere, volt, watt) to a wide range of working multi-functional standards of electrical power quantities are being improved. The result of the work will be the foundation of a unified metrological base, necessary for verifying all types of charging stations, including ultra-fast ones, which will accelerate the introduction of electric transport in the Russian Federation.
Specialists are developing a direct current power standard, as well as improving methods for transferring electrical quantities — ampere, volt, and watt. This will create a unified metrological base for all types of charging devices, including stations capable of replenishing an electric vehicle's charge in 20–30 minutes. On Monday, May 19, a sample of equipment designed to ensure the accuracy of measurements in new generation power grids will be presented at the international forum and exhibition «Metrology without Borders» in the capital.
In the summer of 2025, VNIIM named after D. I. Mendeleev will begin testing mobile reference devices for verifying charging stations. Their use will improve the accuracy of measurements and accelerate the development of electric transport in Russia.
