PARIS-VERSAILLES, FRANCE 22-26 JUNE, 2003
Technical Visits
PRESENTATION
Three technical visits are proposed : V1, V2 and V3 :
V1 : One HV supply of Paris by electric power cables
V2 : EDF testing & research facilities : Les Renardières
V3 : Cables for avionics
For each visit registrations will be considered in order of arrival
(please state a second preferance on your registration form).
V1 : An HV supply of Paris by electric power cables
The visit of an HV substation of RTE, the French Transmission
Network Operator, is proposed. The electrical scheme of the
substation, its different components and its integration from a
safety, environmental and neighbourhood point of view will be
explained. Paris’ power supply will be presented during the visit.
Duration : 1/2 day Capacity : 40 people Cost : 40 €, including transport
V2 : EDF Testing and Research facilities : Les Renardières
Research projects about French underground power links will be
presented :
MV cables and accessories : new specification of the components
(stakes, process, results and deployment).
HV and EHV extruded cables : context and EDF position, evolution
to large conductors and aluminium foil metallic screens.
Developments in laying methods, control of the cable thermal
environment, recycling of trench excavated waste.
A visit of testing facilities will complete the presentation.
Duration : 1/2 day Capacity : 20 people Cost : 75 €, including transport and lunch.
V3 : Cables for Avionics
Aircraft is calling for considerable quantities of cables that could
reach several hundreds of kms for the existing jumbo aircraft.
The visit of an aircraft assembly shop will enable delegates to
improve their knowledge of the specific constraints of cables,
implemented technologies, conditions of installation and development
prospects.
Duration : 1/2 day Capacity : 30 persons Price : 40 €, transport included
