Research & Collaboration
What makes us unique?
SuperGrid Institute owes its success to the people who make up our various research departments. Our teams come from diverse backgrounds in industry and academia, and their wealth of experience and skills make the Institute unique. Each individual brings specific expertise to the table.
This melting pot of knowledge offers opportunities for specialists from different fields to collaborate on new and innovative solutions to technical problems.
The Institute also benefits from close collaborative relationships with industry and academic institutions. The complementary strengths of our partners provide insights and innovative approaches to technical challenges. At the same time, we retain total independence in our research. Public-private investments and collaborative projects finance our work.
SuperGrid Institute’s state-of-the-art research facilities, test platforms and laboratories at the Villeurbanne and Grenoble sites are key to the success of our five research departments.

Measuring small differential-mode voltages with high common-mode voltages and fast transients – Application to gate drivers for wide band-gap switches
In power electronics, gate-voltage measurement is used to optimize the design of the gate driver.
AC/DC Dynamic Interactions of MMC-HVDC in Grid-Forming for Wind-Farm Integration in AC Systems
This paper studies the dynamic interactions between the AC grids and the DC system. In this work, we focus on MMC-HVDC links interconnecting offshore wind farms and AC systems.
Assessment of Aging and Performance Degradation of Supercapacitors Integrated into a Modular Multilevel Converter
In this work, supercapacitors are used as ESS and the reduction of their capacity is first calculated through lifetime simulation of the ESS using aging models.
