SuperGrid Institute presents a brilliant innovation at CIGRE-IEC 2019 in Japan
The Energy Management Control of MMC by SuperGrid Institute was presented in Japan this week at the CIGRE-IEC 2019 Conference on EHV and UHV (AC & DC), generating stimulating discussions about this new technology.
SuperGrid Institute’s head office & platforms are fully operational!
Nearly 150 people gathered together on Monday the 8th of April to inaugurate SuperGrid Institute’s headquarters. Our HQ is 5,560 square meters of offices and platforms dedicated to developing technologies: to build the electricity transmission network of the future, and to participate in the wide-scale integration renewable energies within the power network.
SuperGrid Institute, SME Patent Superstar of 2018
SuperGrid Institute has been rewarded for its ambitious intellectual property strategy, ranking first of the top 10 patent applicants in the SME category for 2018. Created in 2014, SuperGrid Institute has already filed 50 patent applications, including 16 in 2018 alone.
PhD Loriane DESMARS “Study of electrical and thermal properties of epoxy-anhydride composite materials for high voltage insulation”
The work presented in this manuscript has been motivated by the necessity to develop more efficient electrical insulating materials compared to commercially available ones. An epoxy-anhydride matrix filled with micron sized alumina, often used to produce GIS solid insulators, has been used as a reference for this study.
Phd Caroline STACKLER “Electronic transformers for railway applications”
The main objective of this thesis is to develop a methodology to size PETT topologies, in order to compare them.
PhD Amjad MOUHAIDALI “Contribution to the modelling of HVDC cables for electromagnetic transient simulations”
The integration of new technologies in the electric grids made them more and more complex, and most likely future growth of power grids will be based more on underground cables than overhead lines. One problem here, is that the mathematical model for electromagnetic simulation of power cables still has some shortcomings regarding stability, accuracy and passivity. In this thesis, we evaluate the cable parameters using analytical and numerical methods.
PhD Juan-Carlos GONZALEZ “Transient stability of high voltage AC-DC electric transmission systems”
This thesis addresses the transient stability analysis of hybrid AC/DC electric transmission systems. More precisely two questions sought to be investigated: What is the impact of a DC contingency on AC transient stability? How can we take advantage of the DC transmission systems as control inputs in order to enhance AC transient stability?
