Water & inflow management made simple
Complexity remains the name of the game in hydropower production, with many intricate interdependencies in both water and energy systems, but also within your team.
HYDROGRID Insight addresses this complexity by increasing connectivity between all components of your plant, across your teams, and with all relevant stakeholders.
Hydrological Modelling & Inflow Tracking
Hydrological modelling and inflow forecast for Run-of-River (RoR)
Complex inflow predictions are now available for your RoR assets of all sizes. Predicting the inflow, and therefore the expected generation, minimizes imbalance costs. Preemptively avoid penalties by preparing up to 14 days in advance for your expected inflow.
What does that mean for you?
In HYDROGRID Insight, you get access to your inflow forecast, as well as historical production data, your revenues, and your outage planning, all in the same tool.
Meteorological Inflow Forecast
We test and triangulate between the most relevant meteorological data extraction points around your water basin.
What does it mean for you?
HYDROGRID Insight can get the closest approximation of your actuals, using all the forecasted data available.
Cascade Optimization
HYDROGRID Insight connects all elements of your cascade and its hydrological system. By operating all your connected plants together, you can maximize each strength and minimize all risks. Our algorithms are built to handle complexity and deliver real-time intelligence, allowing immediate reaction to every telemetry input.
What does that mean for you?
Achieve full flexibility of an entire cascade, at no computational expense on your end. Prepare for market highs or weather events by balancing upstream reservoirs to direct water towards your best performing turbines ahead of the event. To explore how we use gates to increase the flexibility of turbines, by looking at cascades as a holistic system, check out this case study!
Automated Spill Minimization
If you want to avoid wasting water and money, you need a proactive approach. HYDROGRID Insights provides this with its automated spill minimization feature.
What does it mean for you?
Simply put, you get to increase your revenue by losing less water. Take strategic steps to prevent spills instead of dealing with damage control.
Our algorithm first prioritises compliance with constraints and regulations, then uses every remaining drop towards revenue creation.
Make every drop of water count with HYDROGRID INSIGHT!
