CIGRE International Symposium Cairns 2023 - Call for Papers

The End to End Electricity System - Transition, Development and Integration

Hosted by CIGRE Australia

Symposium theme

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:

  1. Learning from experiences
    What can we draw from past experience to develop the end-to-end electricity system?

  2. Developing practices, functionalities and applications
    What are the current developments and their application for an end-to-end electricity system?

  3. Towards a sustainable power system
    What are the future needs and requirements of an end-to-end 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.

The conference embraces many of the CIGRE domains of work as shown by including planning, operations, markets and economics as well as the technical aspects of the network and then through to the integration of distributed energy resources.

It will examine new ideas, approaches, technologies and operations.
