This document provides information on CIGRE Study Committee D1, including its mission, scope, strategic plan, and organization. The mission of SC D1 is to facilitate the progress of engineering in the field of materials test technologies and diagnostic tools for electric power systems. Its scope covers new and existing materials for electrotechnology, emerging test technologies, and supporting other committees. The strategic plan outlines expanding the scope to include electrical insulation systems and focuses on materials, emerging tests, and supporting other committees. Sample content is shown from technical brochures on furanic compounds, HV on-site testing, and gas insulated systems for HVDC.

SC D1 Materials and Emerging Test Techniques, Mission and Scope
MISSION
• To facilitate and promote the progress of engineering and the international exchange of
information and knowledge in the field of materials test technologies and diagnostic tools for
electric power systems
electric power systems
• To improve the information and knowledge by synthesising state-of-the-art practices and
developing recommendations and to identify, investigates, monitor and report upon new or
developing recommendations and to identify, investigates, monitor and report upon new or
novel materials, emerging technologies and diagnosis test techniques which have the
potential for application within electric power systems but where the precise nature of such
use is unclear or where technological obscures a clear route to implementation

MISSION (cont.)
• To make recommendations to relevant study committees for activity regarding new or novel
materials, emerging test technologies and diagnosis techniques and concepts which have
reached, or are about to reach, a level of maturity where experimental developments or
prototypes can be applied to electrical power systems or where a clear route to
implementation can be foreseen
implementation can be foreseen
• To investigate, monitor and report upon the use of new or novel materials, test technologies
and diagnosis concepts that are sufficiently mature for use within electric power systems but
g p y p y
which can be commonly applied across several study committee areas
• To support other study committees in their analysis of recently introduced and developing
materials, tests techniques and concepts where relevant expertise exists within D1

5. SC D1 Mission and Scope (cont.)
SCOPE
The activities of CIGRE Study Committee D1 concern the following main
directions:
• new and existing materials for electrotechnology,
• emerging test technologies and diagnosis techniques,
• support of other study committees in their analysis of recently
introduced and developing materials, emerging test technologies and
i i i
diagnosis techniques
Said activities are focused mainly on transmission and distribution but emerging
generation technologies will also be specifically considered
generation technologies will also be specifically considered.

6. SC D1 Mission and Scope (cont.)
SCOPE (Cont.)
Within this scope, the work of the Study Committee is principally scientific in
nature and has as its main aim the provision of timely information on new developments and
trends in the field of materials and emerging test technologies to other CIGRE Study
C itt
Committees.
Through its work the Study Committee strives to keep CIGRE fully aware of the
evolution of materials and emerging testing technologies relevant to its activities
evolution of materials and emerging testing technologies relevant to its activities.
Where the scope of SC D1 work overlaps that of other study committees, we will
strive for good communication and co-operation, the co-ordination of all activities, and,
strive for good communication and co operation, the co ordination of all activities, and,
where appropriate, joint activities. Such interactions will extend to all study committees.

7. Strategic Plan of SC D1
Major changes to previous plan
• Scope of SC D1 extended to all kind of materials for electrotechnology,
i.e. electrical insulating and electrical conducting materials (already
effective since 2008)
• Scope of SC D1 to be extended to electrical insulation systems (EIS)
[Electrical insulation system (EIS): Insulating structure containing one or more electrical
insulating materials (EIMs) together with associated conducting parts employed in an
electrotechnical device (IEC 60085)]
