On 22nd of April, Roberto Felicetti, PhD candidate at Uppsala University, has presented the progresses of the Hydroflex Project Group WP4 at the 4th IEEE Workshop on Electrical Machine Design, Control and Diagnosis.

HydroFlex PhD Candidate Chengjun Tang from Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden conducts research in WP4 on "Converter Design for Hydro Turbine"

HydroFlex PhD Candidate Roberto Felicetti from Uppsala University in Sweden conducts research in WP4 on "Alternative excitation systems finalized to the generator self-start".

HydroFlex researcher Marius Siemonsmeier from the Institute of Power Systems and Power Economics at RWTH Aachen presents the webinar "Hydropower and Flexibility: Defining three European energy scenarios".

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.
