  Hydro-Québec's research institute has developed high-tech expertise in power system analysis, operation and control. R&D work is geared toward optimizing generating facilities. Projects also include transmission and distribution system control, and analytical studies of their dynamic behavior, including all aspects related to system stability, reliability and security. Furthermore, there is particular emphasis on the quality of the electricity supplied to customers.
 
Thus, to meet the company's needs and successfully complete their respective projects, our experts develop or use a range of state-of-the-art technologies such as modeling and numerical simulation tools, intelligent systems, parallelization and statistical methods, and information system architectures. These technologies play a key role in the design and development of new network management systems, ranging from real-time control applications to the software required to analyze and optimize them.
