My Thesis in 180 seconds: discovering the theses underway at SuperGrid Institute… in just 3 minutes!
Every year we organise “My Thesis in 180 seconds” where our PhD students have 3 min to explain the research topic that they will be studying!
PhD Antoine PEREZ “Study of arc development mechanisms over solid insulators surface in CO2/fluoronitrile gas mixtures”
One of the suggested solutions is the fluoronitrile (C4F7N), a gas having alone a dielectric withstand 2.7 times higher than SF6.
Webinar “Unlocking HVDC interoperability”: organisational and contractual aspects of developing multi-vendor HVDC projects
We discussed the organisational and contractual aspects of developing multi-vendor HVDC projects.
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!

Phd Paolo ERRANTE “Liquid Spray Injection inside the expansion volume of a CO2 High Voltage Circuit Breaker”
In the framework of the research activities of the High Voltage Substation Equipment program of SuperGrid, it has been proposed to introduce such species by means of an evaporative liquid spray. The interaction between injected droplets and the mixture of hot gases successively flowing into the chamber and vented outside the chamber during the mechanical separation of the electric contacts should allow spray evaporation and transport of the modified gas mixture towards the arc region.
