This CIGRE Green book on accessories for HV and EHV extruded cables covers relevant issues in cable system design, cable design, and submarine cables, including offshore generation connection. It provides comprehensive and unbiased information, essential recommendations and guidelines for design, installation, testing and maintenance of accessories to professionals through the exceptional expertise of the authors. The publication is divided in two volumes covering land and submarine applications, HVAC and HVDC systems, andtransitions from lapped cable systems to extruded cable systems, from OHL to UG cables and from cables to substations. It equips the reader with recommendations for testing, installation, maintenance, and remaining life management. This volume is dedicated to Land and Submarine AC/DC Applications while Volume 1 deals with Components. The book compiles the results of the work achieved by several Working Groups and Task Forces of CIGRE Study Committee 21/B1, and Joint Working Groups and Joint Task Forces with other Study Committees. Many experts from Study Committees 21/B1 (Insulated Cables), 15/D1 (Materials and Emerging Test Techniques), 33/B3 (Substations), C3 (System Environmental Performance), and C4 (System Technical Performance) have participated in this work in the last 30 years in order to offer comprehensive, continuous, and consistent outputs.

Covers land and submarine applications, HVAC and HVDC systems, and transitions Presents recommendations for testing the complete cable systems Compiles the results of the work achieved in the last 30 years

The Study Committee B1 of CIGRE (Insulated Cables) covers underground and submarine, AC and DC, Insulated Cable Systems. SC B1 (formerly SC 21) was established in 1927 and celebrated its 80th anniversary during the 2007 Study Committee meeting in Osaka (Japan).

Pierre Argaut graduated as an Electrical Engineer from the “Institut d’Electrotechnique de Grenoble” in 1971. He joined Delle-Alsthom (Now part of Alstom Grid) in Nov 1971 and took several positions before heading the R&D Department on GIS. After being Operation Manager of South European Pipeline, he joined SILEC in 1988 and retired at the end of 2010. His last position with SILEC was Senior Vice President. In Study Committee B1 (Insulated Cables) Pierre has held position of Working Group Member (21.09;21.06;21.07;21.17), French SC Member, Working Group Convener (B1.19), Special Reporter (2010), Advisory Group Convener (Tutorial Advisory Group till 2010) and is currently Chairman of SC B1 since 2010. He received the Technical Committee Award in 2000 and Distinguished Member Award in 2002.
