Energy

Industrial-grade electronics for energy systems and infrastructure

Energy systems, including renewable generation, storage and grid infrastructure, operate as long-term assets. They are often installed in remote or exposed locations and expected to run for decades. Besides affecting efficiency, failures also have an impact on reliability and safety.

Electronics in this sector must withstand environmental stress. Early design decisions impact reliability, approval processes and total cost of ownership.

Environmental & regulatory requirements in the Energy market

Electronics deployed in energy systems must comply with strict environmental and regulatory constraints. These requirements are not optional. They determine whether systems can be certified, deployed globally and maintained over their intended lifecycle.

Typical requirements include:

  • Wide operating temperature range from –40 °C to +85 °C
  • Shock and vibration resistance according to IEC 60068
  • Ingress protection up to IP65 / IP67 for outdoor installations
  • Electrical safety and EMC compliance (CE, EMC 2014/30/EU)
  • Battery safety certifications such as UN 38.3 and IEC 62133-2
  • ATEX and IECEx approvals for hazardous areas where applicable
  • Environmental compliance including RoHS, REACH and WEEE
  • Long-term availability to support infrastructure-grade lifecycles

In solar inverter and outdoor operator interfaces, optical bonding combined with UV-resistant materials helps maintain readability and prevents delamination, even after years of continuous sun exposure.

The reality of energy system lifecycles

Energy systems are built to operate continuously for many years, often as part of critical infrastructure. Downtime affects grid stability and regulatory compliance. Electronics in renewable installations are exposed to harsh outdoor conditions, as well as electrical noise. Once certified and deployed, redesigns are complex and expensive – sometimes not acceptable at all.

What typically goes wrong late in energy projects

In practice, many energy projects encounter issues after deployment rather than during development. Components that meet specifications on paper may degrade faster in the field. Certifications that initially seem sufficient can limit global rollout or reuse across projects. Even more critically, components may reach end-of-life while the system itself is expected to remain operational for many more years, forcing unplanned redesigns or recertification.

How Texim Europe reduces these risks early

Texim Europe addresses these risks at the start of the design process. Together with manufacturers of energy systems, we focus on selecting technologies that are not only compliant with standards such as IEC, CE, ATEX and UN requirements, but proven in real operating conditions.

The modules, devices and components are evaluated with long-term stability, certification scope and field reliability in mind. During the co-design phase, we support in-field validation – this helps uncover integration issues early, before systems are locked into certification or large-scale deployment.

 

What this means over the full lifecycle

Energy projects often span a decade or more. Component choices must align with both supplier roadmaps and defined migration paths. Texim Europe actively manages lifecycle continuity, including early insight into product changes, alternatives and certification impact. This reduces the risk of forced redesigns and protects the long-term viability of energy infrastructure.

We help you build energy systems that remain certifiable, reliable and supportable throughout their entire operational life.

In practice, this makes Texim Europe a long-term technology partner for environmental and safety projects, not just a component supplier.

Proven use cases in energy systems

Texim Europe supports a wide range of energy applications where reliability, certification and lifecycle continuity are critical:

  • Smart meters using embedded platforms combined with certified wireless connectivity
  • Solar inverter operator interfaces with sunlight-readable, rugged displays
  • Battery storage systems using certified lithium packs and managed power modules
  • Wind turbine monitoring systems using vibration and current sensors

In wind energy applications, vibration-resistant connectors and conformal-coated PCBs help prevent failures caused by continuous mechanical stress and humid or salt-heavy environments.

Energy FAQs

What types of sensors are used in environmental and safety systems?

Common types include gas sensors, air-quality and particulate sensors, temperature, radiation, chemical, and pressure sensors. All selected for accuracy and long-term stability.

How do displays survive in public safety systems?

Rugged displays use vandal-resistant glass, optical bonding, and wide-temperature operation to ensure long-term reliability in e.g., public or industrial environments.

What types of sensors are used in wind and solar installations?

Current, voltage, vibration, and environmental sensors are commonly used for monitoring performance and enabling predictive maintenance. Often ruggedised for long service life.

How do displays remain readable outdoors?

Outdoor displays use optical bonding, high-brightness panels, and UV-resistant materials to prevent fading, glare, or deterioration over an extended period of time.

Which wireless standards are used in energy applications?

Typical connectivity solutions include LPWAN, LTE-M, NB-IoT, and 5G, often combined with gateways for remote monitoring.

What certifications apply to electronics in renewable energy systems?

Common requirements include IEC 60068 for vibration, IP65/IP67 for ingress protection, EMC 2014/30/EU for electrical safety, and UN 38.3 / IEC 62133-2 for batteries and safe transportation. ATEX/IECEx may apply in hazardous zones.
