Energy market
From production through to use, energy has to be monitored by fixed measuring systems. At the same time, everyone working on this chain, from production through transmission to distribution, must be equipped with measuring tools.
Thanks to the products in their catalogues, Chauvin Arnoux and Chauvin Arnoux Energy offer solutions for most of the requirements and concerns of the people working in the field.
Testing the insulation, checking earthing networks, including in complex situations such as networks of electricity pylons, measuring power values, recording energy values, detecting hot spots by means of infrared thermography, detecting voltages (or checking that they are absent), analysing the waveforms of electrical or electronic sognals, etc.
Chauvin Arnoux is familiar with and has mastered all these applications, offering ideal solutions using its products designed and manufactured in France to ensure efficiency, safety and quality.
Similarly, the measurement, accounting and control of energy consumption is a crucial parameter integrated in the design of the performance solutions developed and marketed by Chauvin Arnoux Energy.
Sustainable energy management is a major challenge for the societies of the future. This requires the development of nuclear energy, the principal source of electricity production in France (78%), hydroelectric power (10%) and new energy sources. Pyrocontrole is a leading player on the nuclear market, proposing an offering of qualified temperature sensors specially developped for this market.

Nuclear energy
Clean or renewable energy sources
Renewable energy accounts for 886 MW in France (excluding hydroelectric power). In the context of sustainable development, the share of renewable energy sources has grown considerably in the last few years. These sources include solar energy, rolled out both in homes and on production sites with greater capacity (solar farms). These installations use photovoltaic panels to transform solar energy into electricity.
To check the efficiency of these installations and test the solar panels, Chauvin Arnoux Test and Measurement offers solar-panel testers totally dedicated to this application:
- The Green Test FTV 100 solar power installation analyser provides a survey of the electrical power values and calculates the efficiency of the solar panels and the DC/AC inverter.

- The FTV 200 is an instrument which tests solar panels.
Chauvin Arnoux Energy and wind power
A sector long reserved for national weather services, transport and Defence, wind measurements are now sought by many professionals in the agriculture, tourism and leisure industries. Wind measurement systems designed at the request of the French Navy are fitted on all French warships. TAVID anemometer-vane units are installed in the national weather service's observation stations. They are also used by EDF the French nuclear authority (CEA) in the anti-pollution systems of nuclear sites. SNCF uses them on TGV high-speed rail lines to protect the large parabolic antennae in the event of storms.
