Newsletter #2
The MetSuperCap (Metrology for Static and Dynamic Characterization of Supercapacitors) project is reaching its mid-term phase. All preliminary activities have been completed, and the project focuses on completing measurement datasets, developing supercapacitor models, and preparing advanced test benches.
MetSuperCap is interested in hearing stakeholders’ opinions and ideas to help define priorities and strengthen its impact. Share your thoughts with MetSuperCap using the contact form.
Stakeholder Committee
A Stakeholder Committee was created with 8 industrial participants, two universities and a research center. A stakeholder meeting was held on March 2025, and another is planned for December 3rd, 2025. The Test Plan of the project was presented in March to stakeholders. The discussion also addressed the test plan’s content, including a few necessary corrections.
The stakeholders’ feedback was acknowledged as useful, and the consortium modified the SC matrix to include the suggested sizes and types. If your organization would like to participate in the next stakeholder meeting, please contact us.
A New Paper Published on IEEE TIM
As part of the MetSuperCap consortium, researchers from INRIM, the Italian metrology Institute, analyzed how the accuracy of a supercapacitor equivalent circuit is influenced by measurement accuracy and measurement repeatability. The conclusions are reported in this paper published in February 2025: “Uncertainty Evaluation of a Supercapacitor Equivalent Circuit Parameters,” in IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement.

Innovation & Networking Days 2025
At the ‘Innovation & Networking Days 2025’ in Jena, Germany, eight European projects (including MetSuperCap from the Metrology Partnership) came together to showcase breakthroughs in supercapacitor research. A key takeaway: this technology could play a vital role in energy applications including grid stability and future energy systems.
MetSuperCap Presented at EMN-SEG
MetSuperCap project has been presented at the Annual General Meeting 2025 of the European Metrology Network Smart Electricity Grids (EMN-SEG), which was held at the Institute for Quality Services & Portuguese Metrology Institute (IPQ) in Lisbon, Portugal.

Conference Presentations
The consortium presented the project and results at one international conference and two national conferences.
International Metrology Congress: CIM 2025, Lyon 11-14 March 2025.
The International Congress of Metrology CIM 2025 is a premier event where metrology intersects with science, industry and quality infrastructure organizations. The 22nd edition of CIM held between March 11 to 14, 2025 in Lyon, France. Researchers from LNE, the French metrology institute, presented results from MetSuperCap consortium. Here to see more.
XXXIX National Meeting of Electrotechnical Researchers (ET2025) held from June 12-13, 2025, Cagliari, Italy
A pitch-talk and a poster have been presented by the consortium, sharing the research developed within the framework of 23IND04 MetSuperCap and EMPHASIS projects. Here to see more.
Smart Energy Workshop in Milan, May 8, 2025, Italy
MetSuperCap consortium participated in the “Smart Energy – Energia Intelligente” Workshop, held in Milan, Italy promoted by CalPower and ITECH Electronics. The MetSuperCap coordinator presented a panorama of the research ongoing in the project. More information here.
A Master Thesis and a PhD Graduation in the Framework of MetSuperCap Project
On June 2025 Melika Hassanzadeh has successfully defended her PhD dissertation entitled “Accurate Characterization and Modeling of Electric Double Layer Supercapacitors”, while in July 2025 Ornella Conti has successfully completed her Master’s degree at Politecnico di Torino discussing the thesis entitled “Electrical Characterization of Supercapacitors for Energy and Traction Applications”. Our congratulations to the two students.
Join the Global Metrology Community at CPEM 2026 in Madrid
From September 6 to 11, 2026, Madrid, Spain, will host the Conference on Precision Electromagnetic Measurements (CPEM 2026), the world’s leading event in high-precision electromagnetic metrology.
CPEM 2026 will also be the place to share knowledge on research in electromagnetic metrology focused on present and future challenges regarding industry and society in sectors such as clean Energy, Digitalization, quantum technologies, etc.
MetSuperCap will be present. The event coincides partially with the 2026 F1-GP Spain, so book your flight and hotel in advance if you are interested.
Save the date and attend CPEM 2026. Here the conference program
