国际大电网组织（CIGRE）简介
国际大电网组织（CIGRE），创建于 1921年，是世界领先的电力系统组织，总部位于法国。作为一个常设的非政府和非赢利的国际性组织，业务涉及技术、经济、环境、组织、管理等等方面。其宗旨是：
1.促进并发展各国工程人员与技术专家之间关于发电与高压输电的工程知识与信息的交流。
2.综合技术发展现状和国际实践经验，为交流所得的知识和信息增值。
3.在电力领域，让经营者、决策者和管理者们了解CIGRE的成果。
国际大电网组织的核心业务，是一切有关电力系统的规划和实施，以及设计、建设、维护和高压设备和厂房的处理的问题。电力系统中的安全措施、遥控和远程通信设备和信息系统等也是CIGRE关心的领域。
国际大电网组织已被认为是电力系统中覆盖技术、经济、环境、组织和管理方面的最重要的世界性组织。
CIGRE (International Council on Large Electric Systems) is one of the leading worldwide Organizations on Electric Power Systems, covering their technical, economic, environmental, organisational and regulatory aspects.
A permanent, non-governmental and non-profit International Association, based in France, CIGRE was founded in 1921 and aims to:
> Facilitate and develop the exchange of engineering knowledge and information, between engineering personnel and technical specialists in all countries as regards generation and high voltage transmission of electricity.
> Add value to the knowledge and information exchanged by synthesizing state-of-the-art and world practices.
> Make managers, decision-makers and regulators aware of the synthesis of CIGRE's work, in the area of electric power.
More specifically, issues related to planning and operation of power systems, as well as design, construction, maintenance and disposal of HV equipment and plants are at the core of CIGRE's mission. Problems related to protection of power systems, telecontrol, telecommunication equipment and information systems are also part of CIGRE's area of concern.
