About the Project

Hydropower Extending Power System Flexibility

The overarching goal of the XFLEX project is therefore to demonstrate an innovative methodology for system integration of hydroelectric technology solutions and to draw the roadmap for enabling the European fleet of hydroelectric power plants to contribute significantly to the increase of the flexibility of the electric power system while achieving an improved average annual overall efficiency of the hydroelectric machinery and further providing high availability of the hydropower plants (HPPs) and maximising performance.

Power and Energy Systems

The Centre for Power and Energy Systems (CPES) is a global reference in the large-scale integration of renewable-based electricity generation into the power system.We research and develop advanced solutions that enable the monitoring, control, optimisation, and forecasting of electricity production and consumption, as well as multi-energy systems. Our work supports the decarbonisation of the energy system, the electrification of society, and the large-scale integration of renewables, making power grids more flexible, intelligent, and resilient.Our research results include models, methodologies, hardware, and software (much of it open source) designed for various energy sector stakeholders, including citizens, communities, service providers, system operators, regulators, policy-makers, and governmental bodies.We operate a Smart Grids and Electric Vehicles Laboratory – the X-Energy Lab (link) – where we validate technological advancements in real-world conditions, ensuring that our solutions have a tangible impact on the energy sector.Thanks to our expertise, we hold a prominent role in both national and international projects supporting the energy transition, while also providing direct services to key players in the electricity sector.
