Master Your Water & Inflow Management
Water is notoriously difficult to monitor and manage in complex, real-world hydrological systems. Discover how our clients leverage HYDROGRID to accurately measure, quantify, forecast, and optimize their water resources
Use Case
Real Solutions for Real Hydropower Challenges
Hydrological Modeling
Challenge
Untracked, unpredictable inflows at mountain spring
Solution
Catchment area testing against inflow patterns using ML algorithms
Result
Immediate 10% inflow forecast accuracy increase with steady improvement
- Catchment Area Testing
- We test and weigh your entire catchment area against your actual inflow to discover which weather events will impact your forecast, and which weather extraction points bring you the most insight.
- Inflow & Reservoir Level Forecasting
- We train hydro specific machine-learning models on your historical data to create bespoke real-time forecasting models for short-medium-, and long-term forecasting.
- Sudden Event Reactivity
- Our models recognize outlier weather events in real-time and suggest preemptive measure protocols adapted to each scenario.
Spill Minimization
Challenge
Sudden Inflow pattern
Solution
Preemptive reservoir lowering to minimum
Result
Energy production is maximized, while spill is minimized
- Proactive Reservoir Level Reduction
- Prepare for high inflows hours, weeks or months ahead by bringing reservoir levels down under and turbining water in advance to make sure you use every drop of water coming your way.
- Intraday Redispatch
- Re-optimize your production plan to ensure constraint compliance in case of sudden weather events.
- Real-time Inflow Forecasting
- We train hydro specific machine-learning models on your historical data to create bespoke real-time forecasting models for short-medium-, and long-term forecasting.
Seasonal Inflows
Challenge
Climate change induced seasonal pattern changes
Solution
Seasonal constraints targeting uncertainty of inflow
Result
Downstream minimum discharge protected year-round
- Snowmelt & Icing
- Protect assets during the cold season by managing icing risks and prepare for snowmelt inflows with season‑specific production protocols.
- El Niño & La Niña
- Best‑point optimization looks different for pumps, turbines, and pump‑turbine units. Align all of them simultaneously to deliver maximum output at minimum cost.
- Monsoon
- Plan for heavy rainfall and rapid inflow changes with preemptive water management strategies that minimize spill risks.
