Our Agenda

What is it about?
The current hydropower plant fleet in the EU is aged, and it is estimated that 50 % of the fleet will require upgrade actions by 2030. In particular, modernisation actions related to digitalisation are required in the short to medium term, in order to offer enhanced services, increase grid flexibility, environmental and socio-economic sustainability and to foster the green and digital transitions in Europe.
The iAMP-Hydro project will improve the operations of existing hydropower stations through the development of new digital sensors and services, which will collectively form the iAMP: a novel intelligent Asset Management Platform encompassing secure, open and transparent data-sharing protocols and three novel digital solutions. These include new condition monitoring and predictive maintenance tools for hydropower turbines, the ecological water status monitoring and improved weather and flow forecasting.
The iAMP-Hydro Co-Development Workshops are open workshops, inviting all interested parties who make up their minds how tomorrow’s hydropower fleet can be made more resilient and flexible, by using different kinds of sensors, and by combining and using them to forecast the best operation mode for hydropower plants in terms of economy and ecology.
This Co-Development Workshop is the fourth of a series of five workshops, and will provide information about the results of using “AI and Hydrological Modelling in Hydropower Forecasting”.
AI-based and hydrological approaches are used together to address the growing operational uncertainty faced by hydropower plants, including both reservoir-based and run-of-river systems, in Mediterranean regions, where climate-driven flow variability and competing irrigation demands affect water availability. By combining data-driven forecasting with hydrological context, the developed tool provides reliable short-term predictions of reservoir storage, enabling operators to better plan turbine operation, assess the need for repowering, and improve overall energy production efficiency, while river basin authorities can make more informed decisions on water allocation, irrigation planning, and environmental management. This integrated approach enhances adaptive planning under variable conditions and offers a replicable solution for other hydropower systems facing similar challenges.
It will be an open space for exchanging views and opinions, active participation is more than welcome.
