May 6-8, 2009 Symposium

OBJECTIVES

By means of this Symposium hold under the auspices of CIGRE – SC D1, the organisers aim at presenting, under the form of tutorials, scientific papers and posters, contributions regarding:
- Recent progresses in the development and application of modern optoelectronic measuring methods in the electric power transport and distribution networks all over the world and in Romania;
- Present stage and prospects of optoelectronic methods application in Romania considering that a fiber optics infrastructure already exists in Romania.
The scientific event will gather together representatives of the academic and industrial research from Romania and from abroad, private small and medium enterprises, electric power transport and distribution networks, professional associations, ministries and state institutions for a constructive exchange of information and experience and will identify the applicability conditions as well as the cooperation and research-development topics in the next period.

TOPICS

- CIGRE role in optoelectronic technology application;
- Measurement and monitoring in Romanian power grid and substations by using the existing fiber optics infrastructure;
- Evolution of instrument transformer manufacturing for classical and nonconventional electric substations with a view to improving the measurement accuracy (new series of standards IEC 61869);
- Application of the new series of standards IEC 61850: Communications networks and systems in electric substations;
- Measurement function integration in the line equipment;
- Optical and hybrid sensors for current and voltage measurement at high potential;
- Optical and hybrid sensors for nonelectrical quantities measurement: forces, pressures, temperatures, deformations etc.
- Optical sensors for the thermal and dielectric condition monitoring of the electric power transmission lines and electric substations equipment.

SYMPOSIUM PLACE

Cheia resort is located in Prahova District, in a small depression crossed by the Telejean River, guarded by the peak of mountains called Ciucas at an altitude of 875 meters. Placed at about 60 km from Ploiesti, Cheia resort has wonderful landscapes and a tonic-stimulant intramountain-depression climate with highly ozoniferous air being at an optimum altitude for winter sports and trips.
The resort, characterized by relatively low atmospheric pressure, clean air free of dust and allergens and rich in
ultraviolet radiation, with a marked ionization of the atmosphere, is a fine rest and recreation place.
A place worth visiting there is Cheia Monastery that was founded in 1770, destroyed by ottoman Turks, rebuilt and then burnt in a fire. The present church was rebuilt in bricks within 1835-1839 and painted by Gheorghe Tattarescu in 1837.
