Control design of hydroelectric powerplants

We have started a collaboration with ALSTOM HYDRO, on collaborative and reconfigurable resilient control design of hydroelectric power plants. This work is within the framework of the joint laboratory Inria/ALSTOM (see http://www.inria.fr/innovation/actualites/laboratoire-commun-inria-alstom). A first concrete collaboration has been established with the CIFRE thesis of Simon Gerwig, who has studied how to improve performance of a hydro-electric power-plant outside its design operation conditions, by adaptive cancellation of oscillations that occur in such operation range.
