4 SCOPE OF C4 CIGRE PARIS FEEDBACK 2016 CIGRE PARIS FEEDBACK

5 SUMMARY OF PRESENT FOCUS Power Quality: Benchmarking of PQ performance; Compatibility levels and Indices; Measuring and monitoring; Correlation between lightning and voltage dips; Emissions from disturbing installations (e.g. HVDC, SVC, arc furnaces); Immunity of installations. Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC): EM vulnerability; EMC in vicinity of power systems; Requirements and solutions for HV substations and generating stations; Health effects related to low frequency EMF are excluded. Insulation co ordination: Critical review of existing practice; UHV systems; HVDC systems; Interaction between system and transformers, with reference to transformer energization studies; Resonance and ferroresonance; interaction between long AC cables and the system; influence of system conditions and characteristics on CBs operation, such as TRVs; Insulator pollution influence on the system performance. CIGRE PARIS FEEDBACK

6 SUMMARY OF PRESENT FOCUS Lightning: Critical review parameter statistics; Attachment process; Lightning performance of distribution and transmission lines with reference to the application of line arresters; Low Voltage lines protection; Protection of wind generators; lightning location systems data application. Advanced Tools for the analysis of power system performance: Numerical EM analysis for surge propagation studies; Numerical techniques for the computation from steady state to very fast front transients; modelling unsymmetrical conditions of power systems. Power systems dynamic performance models and analysis: Power balancing assessments; Influence of power converters and HVDC transmission on system security and AC network performances; Methods for modelling and aggregation of loads in active power networks; Performance issues related to the application of long HVAC cables; dynamic interaction between generation and transmission equipment. CIGRE PARIS FEEDBACK

7 MAIN ISSUES AT PRESENT Modeling the integration of renewable and nonconventional generators and storage systems on the power system. (HVDC, Long AC Cables, DC Storage) Generic reliable Wind and Wind Generator models Impact of renewables on Power Quality and the dynamics of the Power System Effects and modeling of Geomagnetic Inducted Currents Understanding the effects of Very Fast Transients CIGRE PARIS FEEDBACK
