SuperGrid Institute Part of H2020 European Project PROMOTioN
PROMOTioN is a 4 years project starting January 2016, with a 40 M€ EU funding, involving 35 Industrial and Academics Participants. It aims to develop meshed HVDC offshore grids on the basis of cost-effective and reliable technological innovation, in combination with a sound political, financial and legal regulatory framework.
A platform for real time modelling & simulation of HVDC electricity systems
Supergrid Institute is deploying real-time modelling and simulation facilities applied to the analysis of emerging HVDC electricity networks, in collaboration with OPAL-RT. The new platform is aimed at testing and assessing the grid architectures, the control and the protection strategies proposed by our research teams.

Surface charge measurement on epoxy spacer in HVDC GIS/GIL in SF6
The design of reliable high voltage equipment remains a challenge nowadays. The surface charge accumulation at gas/solid interface is a major problem of HVDC GIS/GIL. The electric field can be distorted and the dielectric strength of the system can be thus reduced dramatically due to surface charges.
Development of a Space Charge Measurement Method Applied to HVDC GIS Spacers
The development of HVDC networks leads to an increasing need of Gas Insulating Substations (HVDC-GIS). When an insulator is subjected to high thermoelectric dc DC stress, space charge accumulation can induce local increases of the electric field, which must be known and taken into account for the equipment design when the fields exceed several kV/mm.
Creeping Discharge and Flashover of Solid Dielectric in Air at Atmospheric Pressure
This paper is aimed at the study of the propagation of discharge at the surface of solid insulator and the development of an analytical model of flashover in air.
CEIDP 2016 Toronto – Fluoronitriles / CO2
This paper is aimed at the comparison of breakdown voltages of SF6 and mixtures at different concentrations of Fluoronitriles in CO2. The experiments are conducted in different electrodes geometries under DC and lightning impulse voltages.
Fluoronitriles/ CO2 gas mixture as promising substitute to SF6 for insulation in high voltage applications
This paper is aimed at the breakdown characteristics of Fluoronitriles – CO2 gas mixtures in different experimental conditions; these mixtures constitute promising substitutes to SF6 gas in high voltage applications especially gas insulating switchgear (GIS).
The rise of variable speed Pump Storage Plant (PSP)
Pumped Storage Plants (PSP) are the most reliable and well-known energy storage technology for high power applications. The needs of the future power network including DC transmission and intermittent power sources demand for fast responses from those storage plants. In order to face this new environment, the Variable Speed PSP (VarSpeed PSP) allows a faster response to the power grid.
