2025 R&D Strategy forecast and 2024 Annual report.

Section I – R&D strategy forecast

Our Research on 2025 will focus on metering devices tailored for emerging markets. Specifically, our goal is to provide a portable, computer driven phasor measurement unit and power quality analysis solution for Low/Medium voltage (110V-230V to 11kV) at a fraction of the price tag of market leader solutions, which would leverage existing DAC solutions, such as professional USB sound cards instead of costly DAQ platforms or integrated solutions. Most of the R&D effort will be focused towards PC software development. A calibration channel will be provided to take into account hardware induced frequency and phase response variation as well as vendor specific sound cards delays, as well as audio interface (ASIO,Directplay, etc.) delays.

As for financing, we plan to introduce a comprehensive crowdfunding program. We also envision a crowdsourcing initiative for engineers that wish to contribute to this endeavour. This will help in kick starting the project and ensure viable time to market delays. Stay tuned.

A significant part of the project is already underway. We do not start from scratch at the present.

The final implementation will be IEEE Std C37.118.1 compliant.
