Session 2 – CIRED 2008 – Conference conclusions

1. For 10 years of existence of national CIRED committee, significant progress is noticed in development of the area of electricity quality. In first few conferences papers form the area of Electricity Quality had been focused on definitions of quality indicators and on measuring results, which in those times were in the beginning of their development. Today the papers in this area are dealing with implementation of quality control in electro distributive industry firms and with possibilities to develop regulations that will standardize this entire area within electro distributive industry. Activities in this direction should be continued. Formation of operative teams for harmonization of standards, evaluation of coherency and bringing of regulations adequate for electro distributive enterprises in Serbia and Montenegro is proposed. Operational teams should urgently be formed from electro-distributive organizations, with participation of faculties and institutes.

2. The area of measuring and monitoring is in expansion. More papers are dealing with development of devices for determining quality and statistical analysis of measuring results. It is needed for the development of software of newly developed devices to be in accordance with standards of quality for that area

3. In area of distributive systems surge protection papers are about application of metal-oxide of surge diverters without gas-arc surges in networks and industrial machinery. Usage of Zn O arresters in polymer cabinet immune to moisture and damages possible to occur for that reason is recommendable. Such surge diverters can be posted directly on an energy transformer cabinet with which a complete surge protection can be achieved. It is recommendable that the practice of posting arresters on transformers becomes standard projecting solution.

It is important to highlight the need for technical recommendations of electro distributive firms to innovate urgently in the area of surge protection. It’s important to process the surge protection of low voltage networks, in accordance with the existing European Regulative. It is also important to notice that because of the non-existence of surge protection on low voltage, the consumers may face great damages, for which now there is no proper responsible body.

4. The study of problems connected with the attachment of small electro distributors as wind generators and mini -electro distributions in distributive systems should be continued.

5. Finally, it is crucial to initiate the development of electromagnetic compatibility in the area of electro distribution, which now isn’t developed enough.

Session 3 – CIRED 2008 – Conclusions

1. The existing problem of revitalization and maintenance of EEA resulted in the following papers:
• Revitalization of substations
• Revitalization of transformers
• Revitalization of electric and voltage transformers
• Revitalization of SN overheads

with the assistance of statistical methods, information technology tools and application of modern technical solutions in the area of electric energy.

From listed papers and the discussions the need for significant financial resources in electro distributive industry aroused as a result of dilapidation of substations, in order to increase reliability and traffic capacity.

2. As a result of great number of old and wasted transformer stations 110/35 kV and 35/10 kV it is needed to establish criteria, revitalization way and methods for choosing transformer station as a subject of revitalization.

3. The accent is given on the obligation of constant monitoring, innovation, and application of regulations and standards of electro distributive industry, as well as the application of proper regulations in the area of qualitative entry examination of equipment.
4. In order to decrease expenses because of the undelivered electric power, further investments in the automated SN and NN networks are needed.

5. The development of information systems which support entry and exchange of data as well as the projection of reports needed for averager management should be continued.

Session 4 – CIRED 2008 – Conclusions

In loop of STK 4 17 papers are presented from the total of 19 which were included in this year’s Conference program.

After presenting papers following conclusion were brought on the issue of several subjects concerned on the protection in managing electro distributive networks.

1) By having a need for reconstruction of existing centers of controlling, as single systems for viewing and controlling in same very transforming stations, it is necessary to adopt unique principle in solving the problem of integrations, since central problem becomes solving of the communication within centers of controlling and transforming stations in order to increase speed of communication based on digital transmission.

2) Different approaches are presented in views of innovating centers of controlling, but also increasing the level of autoimmunization, by giving priority in implementation of new systems for supervising and controlling in terms of center controlling which gives better efficiency and integrity with other information subsystems in terms of electro distributive companies (working system, GIS, etc)

3) It is necessary to prevail further process of actualization of mid level voltage distributive network, considering that even first realized solutions of automated points on big benefits which are made in order to increase reliability of power supply for electrical energy customers. Process of automated for mid level voltage electro distributive network entangled practically all our electro distributive companies and it is real to expect that degree of automated of the network will increase in near future, as it is needed to take car to reach uniform growth of the automated degree, knowing all specific customer areas which cover our electro distributive companies.

4) In views of realization of the system protection and controlling it is necessary to continue activities in proper appliance of the standards from area of controlling and telecommunications in electrical energetic systems, in order to get standard solutions for system of protection and controlling, which will significantly relieve realization of wide plans to reconstruct existing electro energetic objects, an to relieve maintenance of realized systems.

5) Realized solutions of integrated microprocessor protection in eliminate drastically problems prevailing so far in proper functioning of protection in transforming stations, as they increase reliability of power supply for customers of electrical energy considering that they eliminate unselective activity of protection
