That’s a wrap for XFLEX HYDRO: 4 years of improving hydropower flexibility
Within the XFLEX HYDRO project, we have lead the work on market uptake, impacts, benefits & business model, and performed tests on a new turbine technology.

Pumped storage plant (PSPs) are considered as the most mature and reliable technology for bulk storage energy with low CO2 footprint.
From the 10th to the 11th of October, we will take part in the Business Hydro Meetings. One of the meetings’ key topics will be the hybridisation of hydroelectric power plants.
This work focuses on analysing the relationship between reserve energy demand and load, wind, and solar generation.
This week, several members of SuperGrid Institute are in Hannover to participate in the EPE’22 ECCE Europe conference.
As an exhibitor, we will be shining a light on our innovative technologies for hydraulic systems which improve grid flexibility.
Hydro power plants can be the most prominent solution as they are both renewable & capable of following the load demand by controlling its output.
Hydropower technologies are often put forward as mature and low-carbon technologies able to contribute to cover this increasing need for reserves.
