SuperGrid Institute at the forefront of technological innovation with its new HydroPHIL platform
Our HydroPHIL platform, located on our Grenoble site, is designed to simulate the performance of hydroelectric dams within the power grid.
SuperGrid Institute is working towards the EU’s 32% renewable energy goal by contributing to XFLEX HYDRO
The XFLEX HYDRO project was launched today, the 10th of December, during the United Nations climate change conference (COP25) in Madrid, Spain. This major project, led by a consortium of 19 members, will play an important role in helping the EU reach its target of producing 32% of its energy from renewable resources by 2030, by demonstrating how innovative hydropower technologies can ensure the safety and flexibility of the power system.

SuperGrid Institute’s “turbine type” readiness conclusions
How can we reduce the “S-Shaped” characteristics (stability) of a hydraulic turbine while maintaining its high performance? This spring, SuperGrid Institute completed several months of testing on different turbine designs for Pumped Storage Power Plants (PSPP). This promising and extensive research, which aims to improve power network services (supply security, flexibility, efficiency, etc.), has helped us better understand the physical phenomena and water flow that take place within turbines. It has also enabled us to corroborate our Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation tools. A patent application was filed in September 2019 on this new technology.

SimHydro 2017: Choosing the right model in applied hydraulics
This paper focuses on the set up and the validation of a numerical model for the analysis of the flow in reversible Francis pump-turbines in the S-Shape region. For such operating conditions the flow inside the pump-turbine is characterized by highly unsteady flow separations and complex rotor/stator interactions.
