2 SC C4 Introduction Scope Power system technical performance covers the time scale range from nanoseconds to many hours and the frequency range from 0 Hz up to 10 GHz. The scope of C4 includes development of tools, analytical techniques, measurements, numerical and real-time simulation methods, and equipment modeling needed within the areas of power quality, electromagnetic compatibility and interference, insulation coordination, lightning and power system dynamics. Strategic Direction (2018-2022 term of Zia Emin) Form WGs and write reference papers with particular emphasis on: The study of end-to-end supply systems inclusive of transmission and distribution, The solutions for maintaining the quality and security of supply, The analysis of the system implications of new generation technologies and their integration to the wider system. 2021 Study Committee Update Meeting November 12, 2021

Canadian Highlights Lack of new WG proposals in C4 prompted the Advisory Committee to conduct a gap analysis to determine what areas need work to help meet CIGRE s strategic objectives. This top- down approach resulted in eight WGs being created in 2021 and several more are in development. CIGRE Canada website: Canadian Participation on Working groups do we want to populate this data on the web site? If not, then it should be removed. A new Green Book on Power System Dynamic Modelling and Analysis in Evolving Networks will be developed (2021-2024). Dr. Jacobson and Dr. Annakkage will contribute. Awards: Dr. Jacobson received the 2021 Technical Council and 2020 e-session Achievement awards 2021 Study Committee Update Meeting November 12, 2021 12
