As an exhibitor, we will be shining a light on our innovative technologies for hydraulic systems which improve grid flexibility.
Hydro power plants can be the most prominent solution as they are both renewable & capable of following the load demand by controlling its output.
Hydropower technologies are often put forward as mature and low-carbon technologies able to contribute to cover this increasing need for reserves.

The LOLABAT project has been awarded a Horizon 2020 program grant by the European Commission and was officially launched today, the 19th of January.
Our HydroPHIL platform, located on our Grenoble site, is designed to simulate the performance of hydroelectric dams within the power grid.
The XFLEX HYDRO project was launched today, the 10th of December, during the United Nations climate change conference (COP25) in Madrid, Spain. This major project, led by a consortium of 19 members, will play an important role in helping the EU reach its target of producing 32% of its energy from renewable resources by 2030, by demonstrating how innovative hydropower technologies can ensure the safety and flexibility of the power system.

How can we reduce the “S-Shaped” characteristics (stability) of a hydraulic turbine while maintaining its high performance? This spring, SuperGrid Institute completed several months of testing on different turbine designs for Pumped Storage Power Plants (PSPP). This promising and extensive research, which aims to improve power network services (supply security, flexibility, efficiency, etc.), has helped us better understand the physical phenomena and water flow that take place within turbines. It has also enabled us to corroborate our Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation tools. A patent application was filed in September 2019 on this new technology.
