Gent lab Lemcko is commercialising its work into energy and power quality problems.
Gent University is spinning out Karybel, which will commercialise work conducted at the university’s Lemcko laboratory. The new company will offer in-the-field analysis of power quality problem and create new services in collaboration with university researchers.
Lemcko was originally established at HoWest University College but then became a part of Gent’s Kortrijk campus in 2013. The lab has done extensive research into power quality issues and contains a test centre for decentralised energy production.
Karybel will provide on-site analysis to help its clients identify the source of faults in electrical grids. It will then design custom solutions around commercially available products to prevent the inefficiencies from reoccurring.
The spin-out news follows Gent University’s goal to commercialise research in the area of sustainable energy. Karybel will work together with Lemcko to offer its services.
