  1. Study Committee C3 “System Environmental Performance” Strategic Plan and Current Activities Antonio Negri - SC Chair

  2. Presentation Summary • CIGRE Technical Committee - Strategic Plan: some issues • T&D Network: the evolution • Sustainable Development and Power Sector • Power Sector Environmental Challenges • SC C3 - Mission, Target Groups and Technical Directions • SC C3 - Activities

  3. What is CIGRE • CIGRE stays for: International Council on Large Electric Systems (Conseil International des Grandes Reseaux Electriques) • CIGRE is a non-governmental no-profit international association, with around 10,500 members worldwide, founded in France in 1921 • the mission of CIGRE is to diffuse the knowledge about Electric Power Systems, through e.g. information collection and dissemination, benchmarking, analysis

  4. The CIGRE Technical Committee Strategic Plan

  5. The CIGRE Technical Committee Strategic Plan (2) • STRATEGIC DIRECTION 1 : CUSTOMER ENERGY DEMANDS • Examine on an ongoing basis the evolution of demand scenarios • Analyze solutions for maintaining security of supply • Investigate demand side management approaches • Examine the challenges facing developing countries and explore ways to facilitate access to electricity. • STRATEGIC DIRECTION 2 : ENVIRONMENTAL CHALLENGES • Envisage solutions to address the environmental concerns faced by the electrical power sector • Envisage solutions to address the public acceptability issues faced by the electrical power sector • Record the lessons learnt and solutions adopted worldwide • Study system efficiency solutions

  6. The CIGRE Technical Committee Strategic Plan (3) • STRATEGIC DIRECTION 3 : REGULATION, LEGISLATION AND TARGETS • Study and analyze the consequences of regulatory changes for the electrical power sector • Record the solutions adopted and the experience gained worldwide • Provide unbiased technical information to assist decision makers and stakeholders • STRATEGIC DIRECTION 4 : NEW AND DEVELOPING TECHNOLOGIES • Identify and support new and developing technological solutions and highlight their potential contribution to the electrical power system •  Facilitate the adoption of new technological solutions by providing suitable CIGRE technical recommendations and supporting the subsequent standardization process. • Elaborate and provide knowledge on new technology in selected areas and act as a repository for the associated information.

  7. The CIGRE Technical Committee Strategic Plan (4) • STRATEGIC DIRECTION 5 : SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT AND OPERATION • Study the transmission and distribution system as a whole • Analyze the system implications of new generation technologies. • Identify methods to improve the efficient utilization of existing assets. •  Identify methods to maintain the supply reliability under the changes taking place. • Analyze the implications of new technologies and how these can be most efficiently applied. • Provide a vision of the future electrical power system.

  8. The demand could: increase, due to electricity increasing penetration, in end uses and transports decrease, due to actions to improve efficiency of energy consumption T & D Network – The evolution Network evolution: the Driving Factors • The future generation mix will based on RES (connected at any voltage level), high efficiency thermal generation (including CHP units), nuclear generation, storage (including PHEV) • There will be • increased diffusion of dispersed generation • growing need of load management and control • There will be a growing exchange of cheaper or green electricity among electric systems at national, continental or inter-continental level From: “The network of the future”, CIGRE Technical Committee internal document

  9. Highly efficient, flexible and secure, providing high quality power supply Able to exploit any type of sustainable generation, any size and any technology Able to support the interactivity of generators (at any voltage level) and end users through the liberalised market Able to incorporate transparency: the information flow should be designed so users (in general) may take their decisions based on accurate and reliable information Able to provide interoperability at a continental level Able to securing long term strategic investments co-ordinated with investments on existing networks T & D Network – The evolution (2) The main features of the future Network From: “The network of the future”, CIGRE Technical Committee internal document

  12. Power Sector Environmental Challenges Climate Changes

  13. Power Sector Environmental Challenges Air Pollution – Acid rains; Water resources; Impacts on Territory

  14. Power Sector Environmental Challenges Extreme Events – Natural Hazards

  15. Power Sector Environmental Challenges The Power Sector is also part of the solution… • Diversify and De-carbonize the fuel mix • Increase the use of Renewable Energy Sources and Materials • Increase electricity penetration in End Uses • Improve the efficiency • Expand and reinforce the grid

  16. Power Sector Environmental Challenges Another very important challenge… Public Acceptance of plants and infrastructures

  17. Power Sector Environmental Challenges …and therefore the importance of Stakeholders Engagement and Communication

  18. SC C3 - Mission and Main Target Groups The main goal of SC C3 is to present unbiased positions and produce approaches on Power System environmental performance and impacts and on its implications for management, operation and investment decisions. The Electric Utilities themselves are the main Target Group, specially their executives and (environmental) managers. The results produced by the SC should be of immediate use to that group, either supporting decision making processes or providing arguments for discussion with authorities or for communication with other stakeholders. • Other main Target Groups are: • Authorities and Regulators • Public (in general), mass media, NGO’s

  19. SC C3 Technical Directions The scope of SC C3 is categorised into the following main TDs: • TD 1 Power Systems development and Environment • TD 2 Power Systems operation and Environment • TD 3 Global environmental changes and Power Sector • TD 4 Public Acceptance of plants and infrastructures, Stakeholders Engagement and Communication

  20. SC C3 Activity At the moment there are 7 active Working Groups inside the SC C3: WG C3.01 EMF and Health WG C3.04 Stakeholders engagement and Communication in Sustainable Development WG C3.05 Environmental Impact of Dispersed Generation WG C3.06 Strategic Environmental Assessment WG C3.08 External Costs of Power Lines WG C3.09 Corridor Management JWG (B2, B4, C4) Electric Field and Ion Current Environment of HVDC Transmission Lines.

  21. SC C3 Activity • Already produced Technical Brochures: • WG C3.03 Utilities practices toward Sustainable Development Summary in ELECTRA N. 236 (February 2008) TB N. 340 (www.e-cigre.org) • WG C3.02 Sustainable Development Performance Indicators for Transmission System Operators Summary in ELECTRA N. 244 (June 2009) TB N. 383 (www.e-cigre.org)

  22. SC C3 Activity • Possible new working group issues • Global Climate Changes and Power Sector • Environmental Impact of Renewable Energy Sources • Energy Efficiency and Environment

  23. SC C3 Activity • Oporto (Portugal), 20 – 25 September 2009: • 8th Regular Meeting of SC C3 • International Colloquium “RES: Environmental and Social Issues” • Technical Visits
