SUMMARY:CIGRESA 11th Regional Conference 2023 Call for Paper
DESCRIPTION:Background  \nGlobal events such as the COVID-19 global pandemic and climate change\, accompanied by the Carbon Reduction drive\, has shown us all how interconnected our lives are. These events are forcing behavioural changes on us all\, giving rise to innovative ways to work\, operate and manage our worlds in all the far-reaching corners of the world. We are thus compelled to adapt\, change and be resilient in the face of it all. \nSimilarly\, our power networks\, the interconnectedness of our power grids must be just as resilient. They must 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\nEnsuring grid resilience and Infrastructure readiness in the Southern Africa Region\, resulting from effects of Global Climate Change and Decarbonization\nManaging power systems in a pandemic or global event.\nNew innovations or improvements to existing power systems/grids/network (Equipment\, Systems\, Control and Automation\, Telecommunications)\nImpact of Digital Transformation on Southern African power systems (Cyber security\, Digital Twins\, Internet of Things);\nEnsuring Energy security considering entire value chain (Generation [conventional\, renewable\, storage]\, Transmission\, Distribution\, including Microgrids\, and Distributed energy\, resources)\nEnsuring Social and Environmental Sustainability of the rapidly evolving Power System\n\nVenue  \nCSIR International Convention Centre \nMeiring Naude Road\, Brummeria\, Pretoria\n\nAbstract Submission\nParticipants wishing to present papers should submit abstracts of no more than 500 words by following instructions on the conference website.
