Technical Domains
Our 16 Study Committees and domains of work
To translate CIGRE’s strategic focus in to specific technical knowledge CIGRE works within 16 domains of work, each with its own expert global Study Committee and programme of work. This is the ‘engine room’ that drives CIGRE’s power system knowledge development and covers the key technical domains of the power system.
