Functional requirements for multi-vendor multi-terminal HVDC grids: Showcasing the latest InterOPERA deliverable at CIGRE 2024
Join us at the CIGRE 2024 conference for a presentation on the InterOPERA project's latest findings on functional frameworks for interoperable multi-vendor HVDC grids. Learn about control and protection requirements essential for integrating offshore wind power into the grid.
Superconducting fault current limiters – the future of grid protection?
With countries racing to produce more renewable energy and electrifying transport and industry, higher nominal and fault currents in our power grids increase the risk of severe grid accidents. Energy infrastructures must evolve to meet these challenges. At SuperGrid Institute, we have developed a cost-effective, high-performance, and compact solution: the superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) prototype. Ask us about it!
ReHydro: Our latest contribution to the European hydropower sector gets underway
On May 28, 2024, the Horizon Europe project "Demonstration of Sustainable Hydropower Refurbishment" was launched in Brussels. Running for four years, ReHydro involves 22 partners from seven countries. The project aims to enhance hydropower's role in the electrical grid by upgrading plants to be more sustainable and flexible.
A special Mid-year seminar marking 10 years of collaboration
Each year at the start of summer, our team gathers for a day of festivities at our Mid-year seminar. Learning, laughter, camaraderie and a celebration of our accomplishments, it’s a day where colleagues can get to know each other better in a relaxed atmosphere, and where our directors can share their vision of what’s coming up in the months to come. This year was particularly special as we celebrated ten years of working together!
New deliverable for InterOPERA – Functional requirements for HVDC grid systems and subsystems
The InterOPERA project's Deliverable D2.1 sets out guidelines for the definition of functional requirements in HVDC grid systems in a multi-terminal multi-vendor context.
