We now have eleven of the sixteen CIGRE Global Study Committees attending so plenty of scope and opportunity to present your views on a topic of interest to what will be a global gathering of like minded experts.

Study Areas:
A3: Transmission and Distribution Equipment
B1: Insulated cables
B3: Substations and electrical installations
B5: Protection and automation
C1: Power system development and economics
C2: Power system operation and control
C4: Power system technical performance
C5: Electricity markets and regulation
C6: Active distribution systems and distributed energy resources
D1: Materials and emerging test techniques
D2: Information systems and telecommunication

The session will be on the theme of The End to End Electricity System: transition, development and integration. This will be divided into three topic streams:

Learning from experiences. What can we draw from past experience to develop the power system?

Developing practices, functionalities and applications. What are the current developments and their application to the future power system?

Towards a sustainable power system. What are the future needs and requirements of the power system?

The symposium focuses on the integrated electricity system and the transformation into the electricity system of the future. It will identify what can be learned from the experience with current developments in technology, equipment, controls as well as electricity system architecture, operational practices and planning criteria. The topics then cover the changes that are necessary to meet community expectations and policy requirements.
