00:09I'm delighted to welcome the host of this amazing event, Michel Ogonet, bonjour.
00:14Bonjour.
00:15You are the president of the Seagree.
00:17First of all, let's celebrate the fact that we are here physically.
00:22Yes, I mean, it's a really great time.
00:24I think we all were lingering for having an in-person session and we are going to have a great
00:30in-person session where we are able to meet, exchange, drink together and really rejoice.
00:36As you said during the opening ceremony, the main subject this year is really a green transition.
00:43How can Paris, Paris Session, be a game changer?
00:47Well, it's a game changer because we're looking today at how to run an affordable decarbonisation of the energy business.
00:56And here we're going to have 800 papers that are going to be presented.
00:59And those papers are going to be in support of bringing solutions to utilities, to industry in general, as to
01:09how to manage the best the electrical systems and the power systems
01:14at a time where we're having much more renewable coming on stream in order precisely to manage this energy transition.
01:21And where we know that the network is going to be more and more complex to manage, how to adjust
01:26the demand to the generation.
01:29So these are really great times and they're going to be the subject of most of our papers or the
01:33focus, at least, of this session.
01:35So we're going to contribute to how to manage, in fact, this transition.
01:39And more than ever, CIGRE has its role to play in the years coming.
01:44Absolutely.
01:45And this session enabled people to exchange their knowledge and especially to share different practices and to make those practices
01:53available to others.
01:54And that's really the beauty of CIGRE, which is a sharing association of knowledge.
01:59The amount of participants this year is huge, around 3,700 participants.
02:07A word maybe to welcome all these participants.
02:10Well, it's extremely good news.
02:123,700 was exactly more or less the number of people we had in 2018.
02:17And yet we have some of our colleagues and friends that couldn't come.
02:20I would think mainly because of COVID.
02:22I think of Asia, where some people are restricted in terms of moves.
02:24So I would say it's an unexpected number.
02:28We were dreaming of that number.
02:30Now we have that number.
02:31And it also shows that people want to meet.
02:34And over the time, we had some virtual events.
02:38We had 2,500 participants in 2020, but only 1,500 in 2021, showing that people were, I would say,
02:46a bit fed up with visual presentations and so on.
02:50This time, it's going to be live.
02:52Of course, there will be a hundred people looking remotely.
02:56Of course.
02:56The information will be available and the sessions will be available.
02:59But the real thing is going to happen here in Paris, in this wonderful city, at a wonderful time of
03:04August, where the sun is nice and blue.
03:06Thank you, Mr. Organin. Have a great session.
03:10Thank you very much.
03:20I'm in company of Martin Stossel from Siemens Energy. Hi.
03:24Hi.
03:25Could you please introduce in a few words your company and your position in the company?
03:31Okay.
03:32We at Siemens Energy are delivering great technology products and I'm in the position for power transformers innovation management and
03:40love to work on new solutions with customers.
03:44Which new solutions are available for power transformers?
03:48So, we developed the whole range for the green energy transition, starting from the generating side, where the solar and
03:58wind power transformers get bigger and bigger, coming to transmission, where we deliver bulk energy from onshore, as well as
04:10onshore, with all the solutions which we have, for example, HVTC.
04:16And last but not least, of course, we have also for the grid stability, all the necessary products like phase
04:24shifting transformers, variable shunt reactors and static wire compensation.
04:29Talking about offshore products, what are the requirements?
04:32Besides the harsh environment and, of course, also the accessibility of those products, it's very essential that the overall footprint
04:46and weight optimization for a solution is the best.
04:51And as all the wind energy gets more and more offshore, we have also, in addition, the demands of floating
05:02offshore, where we recently developed with a competent partner some solutions.
05:07Because for this offshore floating wind solutions, you have, in addition to all the challenges which we already explained, the
05:18permanent sea waves, which makes a mechanical stress to all the components.
05:23And there we developed all our products for that.
05:27Last question, what are you most excited about being here?
05:31Yeah, to meet all our friends, all our customers and partners again in person.
05:37So after a long time, this is a great opportunity.
05:40So visit us at POOS364 on level 3 and stay tuned for our presentation of the portfolio by Stefan Klaassen.
05:51Thank you very much.
05:59Thank you very much.
06:05I'm in the company of Kaya Kazidioka.
06:07Hi.
06:08Hi.
06:08You are the chair of SIGRE Women in Energy International.
06:13So welcome.
06:14Maybe first of all, could you tell us a little bit about your own history with SIGRE?
06:19Why did you join SIGRE at the first place?
06:23Well, firstly, I was introduced to SIGRE as a young engineer because the company where I work in South Africa,
06:28ESCOM, has been a collective member for like many decades.
06:32And so I got to know about SIGRE, the technical knowledge, everything that you can get from SIGRE.
06:38I could get that.
06:40So that was the first introduction to SIGRE.
06:42And then I came to Paris in 2016 because I was invited to be a guest speaker.
06:48And for me, I think that was the beginning of my journey with SIGRE because I think Paris is where
06:54SIGRE begins.
06:54So I came as a guest speaker.
06:57And from that, I basically accelerated.
07:00I think my career accelerated within SIGRE.
07:02So in 2018, I came back to be a moderator of the Women in Engineering session.
07:09And I had also assisted in putting that program together.
07:13And from there, I was then nominated to be the chair, the International Chair for Women in Engineering.
07:20And this nomination was supported by the Steering Committee and Administrative Council.
07:26So I started my duties immediately after that.
07:29But at the same time, my career within A2 was also, you know, growing.
07:34And because within A2 now, I became the strategic advisory group member and the convener of the advisory group on
07:43transformer technology.
07:44So both my technical and SIGRE Women in Energy careers is just picked up within SIGRE.
07:50So that's really my journey within SIGRE.
07:53So we see how joining SIGRE for Women can be exciting and an accelerator to the career of a woman.
08:01But tell us now as the chair of SIGRE Women International in Energy International,
08:07tell us why we need more women into SIGRE.
08:13SIGRE is big on diversity.
08:16I see even when we work on our, you know, technical bulletins, we're looking for diversity from different countries.
08:22And so having women in that technical discussion is also an element of diversity, different thinking.
08:30And we need more women.
08:32We also need more women to be role models for the young engineers.
08:35Most women are leaving the engineering space.
08:38And so we need more women that are going to stand out.
08:41Women that every other young girl is going to look up to and associate engineering with women.
08:48What are your expectations for Women in Energy during this Paris session this year?
08:55This Paris session is actually on something that we also initiated as the Women in Energy, which is Net Zero
09:03Initiative.
09:03So it talks more about decarbonisation.
09:06And so I think for us, this is something that we need to be actively involved in.
09:13There's a lot that we can extract in, but also the view from women, the impact that this energy transition
09:20has on women and the society.
09:23And that element needs to come out.
09:26So I'm expecting more of it and also more involvement from the women engineers side.
09:32So I hope to see more speakers from women engineers.
09:37I always encourage women engineers to write papers.
09:40So it's actually very good when you see contributions coming from women engineers.
09:45Because remember, we are trying to role model for all the young women engineers within our technical space.
09:52Eventually, do you have like a message you want to address to women that are among visitors today and along
10:00the week?
10:02To everyone that is visiting, especially women engineers, please get involved.
10:08Talk to somebody and get as much information as you can within your technical space and also the challenges that
10:16you are experiencing as a woman engineer.
10:18You will be surprised how many of us experience exactly the same challenges and every challenge has a solution.
10:25I believe that if we work together, we will come up with solutions.
10:29So be involved, get involved.
10:31And who knows, you could be the next international chair.
10:35I like that.
10:36Thank you, Kayakazi, for coming by.
10:38Thank you very much for having me.
11:27Thanks, Kayakazi.
12:48We are now with the current technical chair of SIGRE, Mathieu Sarkman.
12:52Hi.
12:53My pleasure to be here. Hi.
12:56Can you name some of the most popular technical themes that are being discussed in this session?
13:02Are there some changes in this technical theme this year?
13:08Yes, there is an evolution of the subjects and main topics of interest for the community, if I can say
13:18so, the electrical community, electricity community.
13:20There are many things happening in terms of integrating renewable sources and digitalization of process, digital content of equipment and
13:36the transition for a more clean world.
13:40So, there are many things happening and new energy sources that could be available in a short time.
13:48So, I think we have many challenges.
13:51We are not lacking any kind of challenges.
13:55That's true.
13:56Energy transition is, of course, as you said, at the center of this year's opening panel.
14:01Can you tell us a little bit more about it?
14:04Energy transmission, transition is just a general word.
14:10I prefer talking about transformation.
14:13Yeah.
14:14We have transformation on equipment design.
14:17We have transformation on planning of the systems, electricity systems, designing, operation, maintenance and in the business as well.
14:32Because, I believe, the electrical power business is under expansion to other markets, like transportation, for instance, with electrical vehicles,
14:43vehicles.
14:44So, there is a lot of things happening which are, let's say, quite positive for CIGRE to, let's say, to
14:52capture all of them in our main body of work and in our events, like the CIGRE session.
15:01So, I think we are doing a very attractive platform for professionals dealing with the energy sector.
15:13Yes.
15:14And do you think that CIGRE will have new technical topics in the coming events, in the coming years?
15:21Maybe, yes.
15:23Probably, yes.
15:24Maybe, not maybe, but probably, yes.
15:26Yes, because there are some expansions expected to be faced by us.
15:35The societies are closely to 100% electrified.
15:40So, the dependency on electricity is a big issue today, like food, like drinkable water.
15:50So, we have more or less a triangle of, let's say, health conditions and electricity.
15:56If we don't have electricity, you don't have almost anything, yes, more or less like that.
16:04So, I think the system, the conventional system, the conventional business is changing, but not reducing, reducing, but expanding.
16:17So, I really believe that we are going to have more new topics in the coming years of CIGRE.
16:23Regarding your very strong experience in the industry, can you give young professionals insight on how eventually they can contribute
16:31on highly technical topics, even if they are new in it?
16:37Yes, for sure, we need young people because we are in a digitalized society, we have digital economy, digital health,
16:48digital energy, everything is digital.
16:51Young people are more proud to give solutions, their contributions in a quicker, in a more robust way.
17:00So, it's essential for CIGRE to attract new people.
17:05We are doing a good work with the NGN, our body, the New Generation Network, and this is expanding, but
17:13we need more young people to enter into us and to make this contribution from new minds.
17:24And they will find an amazing library of technical aspects and papers within the CIGRE.
17:31So, welcome to them.
17:33Yes, welcome to them.
17:35We need you.
17:36Please come and see us.
17:37You are going to find a big career for you in energy here in CIGRE.
17:44So, we are very open for you and we are expecting you to come and to join CIGRE.
17:51Thank you for this message and have a great session.
17:54Yeah, we have a big responsibility having such a large number of registrations.
18:01So, we have a big responsibility now after the pandemic.
