More efficient simulation of water flows in hydropower plants
Improving hydropower efficiency through advanced AI-powered simulation and optimization.
Hydropower is a cornerstone of Sweden's energy system, and improving its efficiency is crucial for both economic and environmental reasons. Calejo is applying its expertise in Hybrid Intelligence to develop better simulation models for hydropower plants.
By creating digital twins of water flows and turbine operations, Calejo enables plant operators to optimize their processes in real-time. These models consider factors such as water availability, electricity prices, and equipment wear to determine the most efficient operating strategies.
The results speak for themselves: improved turbine efficiency, reduced wear and tear, and better alignment with electricity market conditions. This work contributes to Sweden's goals for sustainable energy production while helping individual operators improve their bottom line.
