iAMP-Hydro will improve the digital operation of existing hydropower plants through the development of six expected results (R) which will collectively form a novel intelligent Asset Management Platform - in short: the iAMP (being result R5) - encompassing secure open and transparent data sharing protocols (R4) and three novel digital solutions (R1 – R3):
The full package of digital solutions will be validated at a diverse set of five real-world existing hydropower plants producing evidence for policy making to support the green and digital transition of hydropower (R6).
The existing plants include differing power capacities, electro-mechanical equipment type, water end-use, flow and head regimes, climatic conditions, and environmental sensitivities (biodiversity).
