Book nowThe pathway to a net zero economy is posing unprecedented challenges to electric power systems; in a world dominated by non-dispatchable sources, system flexibility will be a crucial aspect that will need to be maximised and valued. Through XFLEX HYDRO, a EUR-18m research and innovation project, European owners, equipment manufacturers and energy experts have studied and implemented full-scale flexibility upgrades on hydropower plants. From variable speed to battery-turbine hybridisation, hydraulic short circuit and plant digitalisation, this session will explore the risks and rewards associated with these technologies, and the lessons that can be drawn for Europe and the rest of the world.
