Energy Sectors Integration (ESI) denotes the system that coordinates the generation, transmission, conversion, and utilization of energy across different energy sectors, pathways, and time scales. Compared with “classical” energy system in which energy sectors are treated independently Read More

SF₆ has proven its excellent dielectric properties for the safe and secure operation of electrical equipment. Its only drawback is the very high global warming potential which casts a serious cloud over this substance when released into the atmosphere.Read More

Today a greater focus than earlier is put on safety and safe work conditions and therefore a more goal-oriented approach to safety is needed, consisting of guidelines, specifications and recommendations.Read More

An ongoing activity in Study Committee B4 tackles the relevant aspect of a combined use of both HVDC technologies available, the Thyristor based Line Commutated Converter (LCC) and the Insulated Gate Base Transistor (IGBT) Voltage Source Converter (VSC). This is referred to as hybrid LCC/VSC HVDC systems.Read More
