About CIGRE SC A1
Study Committee A1 of CIGRE is responsible to facilitate and promote exchange of information and knowledge in the field of rotating electrical machines at international level. It add, value to the information and knowledge by means of synthesising state-of-the-art practices and developing recommendations. The activities of the Study Committee A1 cover economics, design, construction, tests, behaviour and materials of turbo generators, hydro generators, non-conventional machines and large motors.

About the Tutorial & Colloquium
CIGRE India is honored to host the meeting of CIGRE Study Committee A1 on Rotating Electrical Machines and its working Groups in India from 22nd to 27th September 2019. To take advantage of the presence of CIGRE Study Committee, and its working Group members besides other International experts in India, CIGRE-India and Central Board of Irrigation and Power jointly with CIGRE Study Committee A1 on Rotating Electrical Machines are organizing an International Tutorial and Colloquium on Rotating Electrical Machines.

This colloquium is in conjunction with the meeting of CIGRE Study Committee A1 and its working groups in India from 22nd to 28th September 2019 at Hotel VIVANTA by Taj, Dwarka, Sector 21, New Delhi (India) Two days International Colloquium on “Rotating Electrical Machines” is scheduled on 26-27 September 2019. The Colloquium is the biennial Technical Discussion Forum of the Study Committee for members, associates and experts of the discipline from the host country (i.e., India in this case). The Preferential Subjects which are going to be discussed are within the following scope:

Tutorials : Four Tutorials Proposed

To be Announced

Preferential Subject 1: High Renewable Penetrated Networks
• Methods and experiences for the evaluation of existing base load plant to handle cyclic load.
• Generators as Synchronous Condensers to solve Power Quality issues due to large scale renewable integration & comparison with other FACTs devices.
• Utility of Hydro generating units in stabilizing the grid operations against fluctuating loads by Pump storage and Synchronous Condenser Operation.
• Design improvements and technological advancement in Hydro generators for prolonged and efficient operation as Synchronous condensers and Pump-motors to take care of operation of grid due to fluctuating feed of renewable energy and variable load demand.
• Innovative trends in the field of Hydro generators.
• Suitability of motors in renewable energy mix environment from a harmonics point of view.
• Latest designs implemented or proposed to withstand severe load cycling.
• Wind Turbine generator experience: Failures, design challenges, maintenance philosophies and maintenance challenges.
• Solid waste and Biomass power plants: Design, specification, efficiency, operation and maintenance.

Preferential Subject 2: Operational Experience and New Developments
• Operational experience on state of the art technologies used for large turbo generators, hydro generators, wind turbine generators, high voltage motors and high efficiency motors.
