October 2022 Synopsis applications close 4 November 2022  Submit your Synopsis NOW – Applications close 4 November 2022. https://bit.ly/3SDorCi 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.

CIGRE AU NGN is excited to invite you to register for the upcoming July webinar – our second joint Australia and UK event which will cover the changing electricity markets and opportunities relevant to both countries – a particularly relevant and timely topic!

Synopsis

Electricity markets are facing a time of change and upheaval. The evolving technology and generation mix, along with more recent challenges in fuel price volatility are impacting the fundamental frameworks that our electricity markets are built upon. Join this webinar hosted by the Australian and UK CIGRE Next Generation Networks (NGNs) to hear from Brian Joseph and Hannah Loebl about their work, the respective national energy markets, and how they’re adapting to some of these modern‐day challenges.
