(IEC: Geneva, Switzerland) -- The leading experts in the field of ultra high voltage (UHV), are to begin defining the technical and safety specifications for this promising new technology that is set to help deliver the world’s increased electrical energy demands. UHV could offer a solution to the need for more electricity in a space-restricted world. Countries active in this technology include Brazil, Canada, China, Japan, Russia, and the United States.
The International Electrotechnical Commission and the International Council on Large Electric Systems (CIGRE) will join forces to develop international standards for ultra-high voltage to ensure the safe and efficient use of this technology in areas likely to include reliability and maintenance. They will also define the tests for measuring electromagnetic radiation from power lines.IEC and CIGRE agreed on the joint work at the July 18-21, 2007, international conference on UHV held in Beijing, China, which was attended by the world’s leading experts on this technology.
