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.
