Standardization of Electrical Energy Storage Systems of Interest

The electrical energy storage systems are used for example to level out the peak load, work as energy storage when the network is disrupted and improve the quality of electricity. There are plenty of ongoing development projects on direct current distribution in the world and due to this the role of the energy storage is also growing significantly.

Congratulations to SESKO on 50 years of standardization

SESKO was established 50 years ago. On the 8th of November 1965, SESKO was founded as the Finnish Electrotechnical Standardization Association – Finlands Elektrotekniska Standardiseringsförening rf. Over the years, the name has been shortened. By 2015, when the national electrical standards organization was having its jubilee celebration, it was known nationally and internationally as SESKO.
