 C4 System Technical Performance
 SC C4 Annual 2009 Meeting:
 Held in Kuschiro Japan, June 12th, 2009

 Revised scope:
SC C4 is responsible for methods and tools for analysis
related to power systems, with particular reference to
dynamic and transient conditions and to the interaction
between the power system and its apparatus/sub-systems,
between the power system and external causes of stress
and between the power system and other installations.
Specific issues related to the design and manufacturing of
components and apparatus are not in the scope of SC C4,
apart from those cases in which
component/apparatus/subsystem behavior depends on, or
significantly interacts with, the performance of the nearby
power system.

2
 SC Subject Area:
 Power Quality → PQ contracting; Reliability improvement
assessment; Sustainable technical performance – measures and
reporting.
 EMC/EMI → Influence of power installations on other installations;
The ELF magnetic fields: characteristics and mitigation methods; EM
vulnerability.
 Insulation coordination → Critical review of existing practice; UHV
systems; Oil filled transformers; Fast transients: interaction between
system and transformers.
 Lightning → Critical review of lightning parameter; statistics;
attachment process; correlation between lightning and voltage dips;
protection of wind generators
 “Transversal” subjects → Advanced theories/tools for surge
propagation studies and for dynamic performance assessment.

 Power systems dynamic performance models

and analysis →Tools for power balancing assessments; Risk-based
security assessment .
