SuperGrid Institute’s participation at AGP21
The Association Grand Projects 21 – Major Programmes and Projects for the 21st Century (AGP21) met this Thursday in Versailles to discuss the development of interconnected electricity networks on a global scale. SuperGrid Institute was invited to present its vision and discuss the appeal of multi-terminal HVDC technologies in the design and construction of future energy highways. The subsea node concept developed at SuperGrid Institute was also introduced as an essential building block for extending offshore networks and integrating renewable energies on a wide-scale.
Phd Priscillia DANIEL “Electrical properties study of cross-linked polyethylene insulated cables in presence of gaseous cavities aged under DC or DC with harmonic voltages”
This study aims to examine possible impact of these harmonics in presence of microcavities. Depending on their size and on the electrical field, partial discharges (PD) can occur in these microcavities. Two types of cables have been aged: a medium voltage AC (MVAC) cable with millimetric cavities induced artificially and a model cable with an HVDC XLPE grade.
SuperGrid Institute’s has a significant presence at Jicable19
This year, for the first time our presence at PCIM Europe 2019, was noticeable with our stand from 6th to 9th May. At the conference, and as power electronics is at the heart of our innovations, SuperGrid Institute was invited to present during the « Smart Transformers » special session.

LISORE consortium plenary meeting at SuperGrid Institute
SuperGrid Institute was pleased to host the LISORE consortium plenary meeting this Wednesday. This 15-month project that began in January 2019 aims to explore the feasibility and develop a technological roadmap from which innovative low-cost substations can be developed, thereby enabling the integration of marine energies by 2025. By participating and organising this day, SuperGrid Institute has increased its visibility and positioned itself as an expert partner in the domain of innovative electrical systems. The visit of our test platforms enabled us to demonstrate to the project participants how we are supporting the development of the sector through our expertise and state of the art facilities.

Raphaël CHASSAGNOUX received the best student presentation prize at IEEE ICDL 2019
Raphaël CHASSAGNOUX received the best student presentation prize for his « Prebreakdown and Breakdown in Liquid Nitrogen under Pulsed Heating for Superconducting Applications » at IEEE ICDL 2019.
Prebreakdown and Breakdown in Liquid Nitrogen under Pulsed Heating for Superconducting Applications
An experimental study of breakdown and pre-breakdown phenomena in liquid nitrogen (LN2) is performed in this paper, in order to provide useful knowledge for the design of high voltage superconducting systems.
SuperGrid Institute involved with the National Congress of Dielectric Spectroscopy
The national congress of dielectric spectroscopy (SDM2) took place at LyonTech on the 6th and 7th of June at the La Doua academic campus. A number of our materials experts attended to present some of the innovative studies that are under way at SuperGrid Institute.
Effect of the Surge Arrester Configuration in MMC-HVDC Systems under DC and Converter Fault Conditions
Different surge arrester configurations are studied for a modular multilevel converter (MMC) in a symmetrical monopole configuration. Each configuration is analyzed under fault conditions including DC side faults and faults inside the converter station. The configurations considered are compared in terms of overvoltages, current levels and energy dissipation.
