Risk Analysis for EMC in Building Permit for Energy Infrastructure
When establishing large-scale solar power installations and battery storage systems, we need to ensure that electromagnetic disturbances do not affect nearby buildings or installations. RISE offers feasibility studies and risk analyses concerning electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) required for building permit for such energy infrastructure.
EMC Requirements in Building Permit Applications
Solar power installations and battery storage systems are becoming an increasingly important part of Sweden’s energy infrastructure. At the same time, there are requirements in place to ensure that these facilities operate without causing electromagnetic interference to their surroundings. Risk analyses are therefore required as part of the building permit process for these types of installations.
Applicable limits may vary depending on the characteristics of the surrounding environment. For example, near airports there are specific protection zones that may extend several kilometers beyond the airport’s physical boundaries, where particularly strict requirements apply. Military facilities may also impose specific requirements. It is therefore important to assess EMC requirements already during the design phase.
Risk Analyses, Feasibility Studies and Measurements
RISE offers both EMC risk analyses for building permit applications and feasibility studies during the design phase of installations. For facilities located near airports, there are specific requirements in Swedavia AR G-10, where RISE can also perform the EMC measurements of electrical installations for power generation, energy storage and industrial power electronics that are required.
Delivery
The results are delivered as a report, in accordance with the agreement made with the client.
