D-HYDROFLEX

Digital solutions for improving the sustainability performance and FLEXibility potential of HYDROpower

D-HYDROFLEX will develop a toolkit for digitally 'renovating' the existing hydroelectric power plants based on sensors, digital twins, AI algorithms, hybridization modelling (power-to-hydrogen), cloud-edge computing and image processing to tackle the challenges posed by European Green Deal and the Digital Decade Policy Programme 2030 for Europe. Validation will take place in 7 hydro plants operated by EDF (France), Tauron Ekoenergia (Poland), PPC (Greece), TASGA (Spain) and INTEX (Romania), covering different geographical areas of Europe.

Funded by: European Union's HORIZON Research and Innovation Programme (under the topic HORIZON-CL5-2022-D3-03-08/Development of digital solutions for existing hydropower operation and maintenance and responds to the Call HORIZON-CL5-2022-D3-03/Sustainable, secure and competitive energy supply)

Duration: September 2023 - August 2026
