1. CIGRÉ SC C6
Wind Turbines issue:
Any new work on “renewables” should be first studied by C6
who should provide some basic information. Subsequently the
work should whenever appropriate be transferred to other SC for
further consideration in line with their own scope. Therefore
coordination with other SCs will be an important issue for C6 (see
revision of SC title and scope).

revision
TITLE: Distribution Systems and Dispersed Generation
Distribution, Dispersed Generation and Renewables
SCOPE:
The activities are principally concerned with the assessment of the technical impacts and
requirements which a more widespread adoption of dispersed generation and integration of
renewable based generators could impose on the structure and operation of the system. The
activities also regard the study of the medium long term evolution of distribution as expected by the
utilisation of DG/RES and related technologies.
In parallel, the Study Committee should assess the degree to which such solutions are likely to be
adopted in the short, medium and long term. The practical importance and timing of the related
technical impacts and requirements should also be assessed.
Rural electrification, demand response and application of storage are within the scope of this Study
Committee.
Through its work the Study Committee strives to objectively analyse the implications of DG/RES
utilisation and to become an internationally recognised forum on this evolving subject.
The SC shall co-operate with Study Committees A1, B4, C1, C2, D1 and D2 concerning emerging
DER and related technologies and the relevant effect on the system as well as with other System
Study Committees.
