RT.1a/5a : Distribution networks for large cities : new components and system development issues
Convener :
Mikael Nordman, Netcontrol Oy, Finland & Fabrizio Pilo, University of Cagliari, Italy
Scope :
As the number and size of large cities is increasing very quickly in the world, innovative solutions have to be found for distribution networks in these cities because of the many challenges faced: rapid growth of demand, high power quality needs, limited space for cables and substations, high short circuit current levels, strong environmental constraints (noise, visual impact of the network,...), development of distributed generation in cities, e-mobility, ...
How system development experts and equipment manufacturers cope with all these challenges? What is the outlook for distribution networks?
Panelists:
John Millar, Aalto Unversity School of Electrical Engineering Finland
Jacques Merley, ERDF, France
Carsten Böse, Siemens, Germany
Xie Wei, Shanghai Municipal Electric Power Company, China
Roger Dugan, Epri, USA
RT.1b : Components for smart grids and e-mobility
Convener :
Hans Jørgen Jørgensen, Danish Energy Association, Denmark
Scope:
Smart grids offer solutions to several problems which the network operators are facing; among them the expected increase in electric energy supplied to electric vehicles.
Which new or modified components will be needed in the substations, in the public environment, at the customers' premises and in the electric vehicles for smart grids and e-mobility?
Which challenges can be foreseen for these components and can internationally accepted solutions be found?
Panelists :

RT.1c : Internal arc classification - How to convert test results into Personal Safety on Site
Convener :
Uwe Kaltenborn, Schneider Electric Sachsenwerk GmbH, Germany
Scope :
Internal Arc Qualification of distribution switchgear is an important topic. This kind of type test is the prerequisite for enabling personal safety for service personnel on site, as well as public safety around distribution switchgear. This roundtable will discuss the latest development of relevant standard IEC 62 271-200. Beside the test execution and the evaluation of the test results, the transfer of these results into specific measures for personal safety will be discussed. Especially the interaction of the switchgear with the switchgear building and solutions for the relief of the hot gases will be taken into consideration. Also the future developments will be considered. Here the integration of distribution switchgear into the public room is of special importance. Options for the enabling personal safety in public accessible rooms like buildings, streets and transportation systems in (mega-)cities and also in critical industries like oil & gas, chemical and process industries will be discussed.
