SuperGrid Institute is ISO 9001:2015 certified!
Today, this certification relates to our 2 very HV platforms and our Hyberbaric test platform. Over the next few years, the scope will be extended!
This week’s highlight: EPE’20 ECCE Europe-Conference
We are very excited to be the Local Organising Committee of EPE'20 ECCE Europe and to have our colleague Abdelkrim Benchaib honoured as the Conference General Chairman.
[ONLINE EVENT] HVDC Technology qualification
SuperGrid Institute is participating in the PROMOTioN project's Breakout Session 2: HVDC Technology Qualification this Friday, the 11th of Septembre, with a focus on WP9: DC grid protection test method & demonstration.
Experimental validation and comparison of a SiC MOSFET based 100 kW 1.2 kV 20 kHz three-phase dual active bridge converter using two vector groups
The Dual Active Bridge appears as a promising DC-DC converter topology when galvanic isolation and bidirectional power flow are required. Among its advantages, Zero Voltage Switching allows the switching losses to be significantly reduced.
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.
Demonstration of the Short-circuit Ruggedness of a 10 kV Silicon Carbide Bipolar Junction Transistor
Static, switching and short-circuit characterization of a 10 kV-class Silicon Carbide (SiC) Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT) is reported.
How Good are the Design Tools in Power Electronics?
A 100 kW, isolated dc–dc converter was built over the course of one year, starting from a blank page. This paper details the design and manufacturing process.
Impact of DC fault blocking capability on the sizing of the DC-DC Modular Multilevel Converter
This paper analyzes the impact on the converter design of including such characteristic for the DC-DC Modular Multilevel Converter.
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.
IGBT Lifetime Estimation in a Modular Multilevel Converter for bidirectional point-to-point HVDC application
This paper deals with the lifetime estimation of one modular multilevel converter submodule in a bidirectional point-to-point HVDC application.
