SUMMARY:10th Cigre Southern Africa Regional Conference: "Transforming the power system for future generations"
DESCRIPTION:Background  \nThe COVID-19 global pandemic has shown us how interconnected our lives are in this global village. It has forced behavioural changes on us all\, given rise to innovative ways to work\, operate and manage our worlds in all the far-reaching corners of the world. We have had to adapt and change and be resilient in the face of it all. \nSimilarly\, our power networks\, the interconnectedness of our power grids have to be just as resilient. They have to adapt and transform as we continuously shift to cleaner energy sources in order to build the power system for future generations. \nThis conference will provide a platform to deliberate on subjects that expound on how we can build\, transform\, adapt a resilient power system for the future. These discussions will be between electric utilities (generation/transmission/ distribution)\, municipalities\, system operators\, regulators\, manufacturers and suppliers\, universities\, standardizing bodies\, research laboratories and authorities on topics in the field of the development of electrical systems in Africa. \nPreferential Subjects\nPapers across all study committees are invited. Preference will be given to submissions in the fields of technology\, planning\, operations and markets as well as those covering actual project and operational experiences with focus on the following subjects: \n\n\n\nChanging\, adapting\, hardening for power systems/grids/networks;\nManaging power systems in a pandemic or global event;\nNew innovations or improvements to existing power systems/grids/networks;\n\n\n\n\nClimate change;\nCyber security;\nTelecommunications;\nData Capturing/Analysis for power systems;\nEnergy security;\nEnergy storage;\nMicrogrids\, distributed energy resources;\n\nAbstract Submission\nPlease note: we are accepting abstracts until the 17 May 2021.
