HERI – Research Actions Database

Description

Di-Hydro will develop practical solutions, applicable to HP plants and clusters across the EU, regardless of their previous digitization level, by combining innovative sensor technology and digital adaption for energy production, optimized O&M practices based on cutting-edge information technology, while taking into account weather and water flow conditions, biodiversity, environmental and societal issues as inputs, and at the same time will help HP companies strategize and manage production based on market and societal needs, thus leading to an increase in HP energy generation by at least 30% by 2030 and more than 50% by 2040, as the proposed digital adaption in HPs intensifies. Innovations of Di-Hydro will facilitate HP energy production through novelties in sensors, data management and security, process digitization, safe connection, and optimization, as well as help preserve wildlife and include societal factors in electrical power production and management, as this is critical to achieve the vision of strengthening the clean energy cluster in the EU.
