VDE develops advanced quality criteria with the Cleantech industry
Driven by digitalization, by artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things (IoT), Prosumer will soon revolutionize the electricity grids. New innovative services will shape the markets decisively. In particular, products and systems in the cleantech sector such as energy storage and digital energy management systems are facing similar challenges to photovoltaics. In addition to further developing international safety standards, the new applications have to meet additional quality criteria of the financial sector and insurance companies in order to grow in the global market.
To tackle these challenges, VDE led the cleantech sector's discussions on quality criteria and best practices which meet the requirements of key stakeholders such as banks, investors and insurance companies at the Asia Clean Energy Summit in Singapore.
