STUDY COMMITTEE C3, System Environmental Performance
Meeting CNI, Latina 24 Novembre 2010
Gli indirizzi dell’attività futura del Comitato C3
In sintesi:
 si confermano le Direzioni tecniche (T.D.) secondo le quali
opera il Comitato
 i temi ambientali entrano a pieno titolo nel Piano
Strategico CIGRE 2010-2020
 si affaccia un tema nuovo: “Power System Efficiency”;
ancora da capire come affrontarlo e quali implicazioni
possa avere sulle attività CIGRE
 è sempre più forte l’esigenza di lavoro comune con gli altri
Comitati di Studio
