Since 2016, SuperGrid Institute’s program 4 has intensely worked on the specification of a test platform with the capability to go up to 40bars of internal pressure and validate subsea node, a SuperGrid Institute concept for offshore meshed networks. Beside its imposing size, the particularity of this platform is that it allows combined testing functions on subsea high-voltage cable systems including water pressure, di

Supplying Power to HV (≥10kV) control and measurement boards: a challenge to overcome

2021-08-11T17:53:37+02:00December 11th, 2017|Appareillage électrique haute tension|

New high-voltage power electronic converters and facilities for transmission grids tend to have multiple power switches at different floating potentials. Moreover, the trend goes towards the use of power switches with higher operating voltages (up to 10kV), in order to reduce the number of switches by system.

Effective ionization coefficients and limiting field strength of Fluoronitriles-CO2 mixtures

The density normalized Effective ionization coefficients and critical breakdown electric field of the Heptafluoro-iso-butyronitrile (Fluoronitriles), and Fluoronitriles-CO2 mixture are investigated using the steady state Townsend (SST) experimental setup, over a range of the density normalized critical electric field (E/N) from 200-1066 Td (E is the electric field and N the gas density).

FastGrid : Cost effective FCL using advanced superconducting tapes for future HVDC grids

2021-08-11T17:53:56+02:00June 16th, 2017|Appareillage électrique haute tension|

FastGrid is a project funding for an amount of 7.2 M€ by the European Union’s Horizon 2020. It started in January 2017 for a period of 42 months. Together 9 academic and 3 industrial partners participate to the development of a superconductive fault current limiter associated with a DC breaker will fulfil the requirement of one the protection strategies of the future HVDC networks. The project is divided in 4 technical main packages.
