This brief popular science article summarizes the HydroFlex report "Hydropower Providing Flexibility for a Renewable Energy System: Three European Energy Scenarios"

On Feb 05-06, WP3 participants from NTNU and EDR&Medeso met in Trondheim to discuss how to optimize turbine design for operation with high flexibility.

The WP4 team from Uppsala University, Sweden, carried out successful measurements of the excitation winding resonance frequencies of the generator Unit 9 at the Porjus Hydropower Plant.

The HydroFlex report "Hydropower Providing Flexibility for a Renewable Energy System: Three European Energy Scenarios" is published.
