The 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. The XFLEX HYDRO consortium has extensively studied and successfully implemented a set of innovative hydropower technologies, such as Variable Speed, Battery Hybridisation, Hydraulic Short Circuit and Plant Digitalisation capable of enhancing the flexibility of existing hydropower fleet. The goal of this session is to present the work and the findings of the XFLEX Hydro project and discuss the main barriers limiting the implementation of these technologies.
