The International Smart Grid Action Network (ISGAN) has recently published its discussion paper “micro vs MEGA: trends influencing the development of the power system”, with the contribution of SuperGrid Institute experts.
On the 29th of April, SuperGrid Institute and the 7 other French ITEs officially joined the French Institutes of Technology association alongside its 8 existing members, the IRTs, to develop tangible innovations for the world of tomorrow.
With the FastGrid project completion date just a few months away, find out more about the ins and outs of the project in this video filmed at our premises.
Using Gibbs free energy method, a theoretical study has been conducted on SF6 replacement candidates listed above.
This article presents the measurements of the equivalent B(H) and the equivalent magnetic permeability of two three-phase MFT prototypes.
SuperGrid Institute will be able to develop an effective partial discharge monitoring system for the future SF6 free high voltage equipment.
This paper aims at the detection and characterization of partial discharges (PD) in GIS under HVDC constraints in the presence of a protrusion/metallic particle on the high voltage conductor.
Recent studies have demonstrated that fluoronitrile (FN) NovecTM 4710 and fluoroketone (FK) NovecTM 5110 show higher dielectric strength than SF6. These gases can be mixed with a buffer gas such as CO2 and technical air to have suitable dielectric properties for high voltage insulation applications.
SuperGrid Institute is aiming to test the new superconductive tapes that will be used in future current limiters, as one of the partners involved in the FASTGRID project.
This morning, SuperGrid Institute presented at the second conference on Power Transmission in Africa (Johannesburg) its vision on new transmission technologies and architecture, shaping the future grids. With emphasis on the fantastic opportunity that the latest HVDC technologies and solutions represent for a robust and interconnected power system in Africa, able to address major issues linked to energy transition.
