About UIE

Our purpose

The International Union for Electricity Applications (l'Union Internationale Pour Applications de l'Electricité) is a non governmental and non profit making organization founded in 1953.

Our objective is to promote and develop the applications of electricity respecting demands in the fields of the protection of the environment, energy efficiency, economic viability and social acceptance.

UIE aims at transferring knowledge and expertise in the field of electricity applications through the network of its member organizations across the world.

Our activities focus on the overall chain of production, transmission, distribution and use, on the efficient electricty applications beyond the meter.

The UIE strategy involves two main approaches:

horizontal, targeting

• power quality
• environment
• electricity application in the city of tomorrow

vertical, focusing on

• economic sector (industrial activities)
• processes
• electrical techniques
• power quality enhencement systems

 

Our mission

collect the necessary knowledge and expertise according to the targeted goal;
transform knowledge and expertise into products and services;
organise dissemination of products and services using appropriate channels;
maintain relations with the international organizations involved in the field of electricity applications.

Our expertise

The UIE Expertise Network is a site where information and knowledge posted by the members of the UIE community is made available for the site visitors. Our partners are experts from manufacturers, research centres, technical centres, universities, organisations, consulting firms (see the partners list [1]), who want to share their know-how and make potential clients or partners.

Visitors of the UIE Expertise are usually professionals looking for solutions or interested in partnership or co-operation. They have free access to the list of available documents and to general information like titles and summaries, but can also order the documents by e-mail.

We offer our Members to:

• benefit from the pooling of knowledge in the field of electricity applications and the exchange of experience among member countries;
• make full use of the scope for international contacts on all aspects of electricity applications (research, development, training, implementation, techniques and energy management);
• take advantage of the independent forum made available to them to discuss matters concerning the development of electricity applications
• have access to international bodies dealing with matters relating to the use of electricity.

Only experts recognised by the UIE technical committees and registered as members of UIE are authorised to publish on our site because we try to make sure that our Expertise Network operates with identified stakeholder in the electricity applications business. (More [2] about the UIE membership.)

Through its activities, UIE also helps industry and business in general to increase productivity, reduce costs, optimise product quality and reduce environmental impact.
