By adopting cutting-edge real-time automation and data-driven strategies, they:

  • Boosted resilience against market volatility.
  • Streamlined operations with real-time data and automation.
  • Increased annual revenues by 5-12%, equating to EUR 70,000–200,000, for a single plant.
  • Minimized spills and cut operational costs.
Hydro Tasmania said the newly upgraded crest gates have seen "extreme" rainfall over the last several weeks and have performed well and as expected in those weather conditions. 
Today, most power generation facilities, including hydropower plants, are connected via the internet. While NREL says interconnectedness improves operational efficiency and keeps costs low, it also increases the risk of cyberattacks.
Nestled in the heart of the U.S. state of Utah, the city of Ephraim has a rich history of innovation and community-driven progress. One of the most significant milestones in this history is the development and evolution of the city’s hydroelectric power system.
