Objectives
A scientific and technical Workshop was held on August 26, 2016th within the frame of CIGRE, in order to review the more important topics to be included within the symposium and to identify the international experts which could integrate the pool of symposium's lecturers. 41 experts coming from 12 different countries have contributed to this Workshop.
The objective of the symposium Jicable HVDC’17 is to address and discuss the following topics:
 
- Research and current knowledge on the behavior of materials for HVDC cables and accessories: new materials, dielectric behavior, space charges, interfaces, ageing, reliability.
  - State-of-the-Art of the development of extra high voltage DC extruded cables systems in the range 400 to 700 kV: development, testing and standardization.
  - Technical coordination between converters and cable systems: insulation coordination, transient over-voltages, DC circuit breakers.
  - Large transmission corridors: reliability of very long links including many joints, future technology alternative.
  - Submarine cables installation: lessons learned from experience, installation in harsh environment.
  - Submarine asset management & submarine cable repairs in case of faults.
