The 2024 Paris Session is open. The Session has over 4500 delegates attending, including 110 from Australia. An amazing opportunity to learn and to exchange knowledge on the global stage. The essence of CIGRE! #CIGRE #CIGREAustralia
About us
The first port of call for power network know-how is CIGRE. The global technical forum for large electric systems CIGRE counts more than 12000 equivalent members in over 90 countries. This membership is composed of researchers, academics, engineers, technicians, suppliers, and other decision makers, and is supported by 2500 experts actively collaborating in a structured work programme. In Australia, CIGRE professionals are focused on sharing and developing the right skills for today but with an eye to the challenges of tomorrow. This community of experts is building value by leveraging the CIGRE global network to empower their organisations with the know-how needed to meet Australia’s challenging market and geographic environment. Whether it’s managing ageing assets, exploring ways to reduce network costs or planning for the network of the future, CIGRE is empowering teams with the latest, most relevant know-how and innovations. CIGRE supports this know-how with access to a worldwide pool of experts and peers.

CIGRE Australia is conducting its first seminar exploring the issues and challenges associated with the high penetration of power electronic interfaced devices on the power system. The seminar will be held in Sydney on 29-30 October 2024. The seminar is an industry discussion on existing and emerging challenges associated with the technical aspects of power system performance, modelling, analysis, protection and control, and operation in a changing power system environment and with the evolution of power electronic devices. In addition to our open call for presenters from industry and academia, the seminar is proposing a high level of delegate interaction through facilitated discussions. Over the two days delegates will access keynote addresses and presentations, discussion sessions, a networking function and a concluding panel session. Call for presentations now open https://lnkd.in/gGbtcmHN Earlybird registrations close 15 September. Limited places, recommend registering early. https://lnkd.in/ggihHs7y #CIGRE #CIGRENGN

A very important topic.
Developing grids that deliver the flexibility needed for the energy transition presents a challenge to today’s power systems professionals. At CIGRE our community is working on a wide range of areas to achieve this vision. From DC, DER to frequency and inertia the list of challenges is growing and we are excited to bring to bear our collective expertise. Find out more about CIGRE scope, publications and working groups on ‘grids and flexibility’ here : https://lnkd.in/dsgWd2uX

Electricity is a the key part of the energy transition. As we incorporate electricity into our shared futures power systems professionals are dealing with the questions ‘sector integration’ brings. CIGRE offers over a 100 years of global collaboration on the salient issues the electricity industry faces. We therefore invite you to bring your technical challenges to our Study Committees and collaborate with our experts to develop the solutions needed.
