The review process is extremely rigorous with reviewers hand-picked by the SC chairpersons. The reviewers are therefore all experts in the topic covered by the paper under review. As such, when the paper is accepted, the authors can rest assured that their paper will stand any scrutiny from readers globally. Unfortunately, due to the rigorous review process, many papers are rejected. This assures the highest quality of papers are published.
CIGRE continues to advertise four of the papers from the edition on Twitter and LinkedIn platforms enabling readers to immediately access these on their devices to read whenever and wherever they may be.
The 30th Edition to be published in October, In this edition we are proud to publish 7 excellent papers that have undergone a rigorous peer review process by international experts nominated by the CIGRE Study Committee chairpersons. Note that almost all papers are required to be revised with additional information or clarity being requested. This ensures that the content can withstand scrutiny from global experts. Authors can be proud that they have succeeded in obtaining approval to publish.
One paper in particular, entitled, “Applying a physics-consistent general power theory to practical electricity systems with unbalance and periodic waveform distortion – Part 1: Implementation, testing, application to DG” underwent extensive review by reviewers, the Editorial Board as well as selected eminent professors. It was only approved after many revisions and discussion. The paper offers somewhat controversial theories which may challenge the norm. Readers are encouraged to study and comment on the theory proposed. Part 2 of the topic will be published in the February edition of CSE.
Other topics in this edition include temperature effect on alloy conductors, and a number of topics on operation and modelling systems with high penetration of inverter based resources (IBR).
