Enhanced digital controls are part of a growing trend in the hydropower sector towards improving the performance of turbines, plants and equipment, by reducing costs and optimising asset management. As the industry continue to lower down the cost of operations and maintenance, digitalization and data analytics plays a vital role to achieve further cost reductions & increase revenue. The conference will look at how digitalisation is bringing in a wave of new technologies, and how digital twins could be the key to future operations. It will investigate how digital control systems can optimise reservoir management and maximise revenues for power producers.
Digitalization of hydropower is essential to improve the performance of hydropower plants by optimizing asset management and reducing operation and maintenance costs. Digital solutions also help to access and analyze right data in order to derive actionable insights for making right decision at right time and support to enhance efficiency.
The performance of turbines, plants and equipment are expected to be improved through the use of new digital controls, while digital transformation could play a vital role in helping hydropower projects to work more efficiently with other renewable technologies by supporting operations at hydropower plants and improving decision-making.
Hydropower Plant Digitalization Forum aims to bring the hydropower industry together to discuss the market opportunity of digital hydro, digital innovation and technological challenges for the industry, including how machine learning, digital twin and predictive analytics can enable monitoring and prediction failures to help drastically improve availability, reliability of the hydro assets & increase revenue and reduce O&M costs.
Predictive analytics and digital twin modeling are sweeping across many industries, including the wind sector. Hydro asset owners seek to improve power plant performance, minimize operations and maintenance costs and enable better decision-making. Turbines are highly instrumented machines, lending themselves well to collecting vast amounts of data that can inform and refine digital twin models.
Hydropower Plant Digitalization Forum is set to cover all aspects of data analytics & digital innovation and its impact on the hydropower sector as well as identifying issues and challenges and providing potential solutions. It is a great opportunity for industry professionals to come together to exchange the ideas, explore new thinking and help shape the development of the industry. The sessions are set up to be interactive for the attendees to get involved in the experience-sharing process and to tackle existing problems in real-time discussions.
The
Hydropower Plant Digitalization Forum will critically analyze hydropower sector digitalization and data-driven operations, performance forecasting and new business models, hydropower assets optimization with artificial intelligence (AI) and automation, data-driven monitoring and inspection, predictive maintenance, and using advanced analytics to reduce costs and drive performance.
