If you weren’t able to attend HYDROVISION International in person earlier this month, or even if you did but had to pick and choose among the 70 conference sessions offered, our July HYDRO+ sessions will offer free training featuring two sessions from this event.
On July 28, we will offer the global hydropower and dams industry two hot topic sessions: Practical Issues and Applications for Turbine-Generators and Pumped Storage Units (from the Equipment and Technology track) and Fire and Ice – Extreme Events (from the Market Trends and Asset Strategies track).
Hydro Review and HYDROVISION International hosts the month HYDRO+ webcast to provide access to free training.
Specific session details are:
Equipment and Technology: Practical Issues and Applications for Turbine-Generators and Pumped Storage Units, 10:30 am CT
As no value can be realized until electricity is produced, turbine-generator machinery can be considered the universal sustenance of a hydroelectric power generation facility. Maintenance and rehabilitation of an aging fleet of turbine-generators presents numerous challenges to owners, operators and refurbishment teams. This session will explore various innovative solutions as applied by world-class hydropower organizations.
Our expert speakers for this session are:
- Russell Chetwynd, Service Manager, National Electric Coil (moderator)
- Jeff Gessaman, Engineering Manager, Obermeyer Hydro
- Gary Peterson, Maintenance Manager, Energy Keepers Inc.
- Roberto Siniscalchi, General Manager, Furnas Centrais Elétricas – Brazil
Market Trends and Asset Strategies: Fire and Ice — Extreme Events, 2 pm CT
Fire, ice, droughts, climate change. We have survived several catastrophic events. How have these events affected your organization? Come be a part of a lively discussion and exchange of ideas on new items organizations must integrate into their future planning of capital improvements, operations and maintenance.
Our expert speakers for this session are:
- Levi Brekke, Senior Advisor Research and Development, Bureau of Reclamation (moderator)
- Greg Stark, Hydropower Platform Lead, National Renewable Energy Laboratory

- Erik Peterson, Operations Manager, U.S. Army Corp of Engineers Portland District
The HYDRO+ monthly series of virtual events brings together the hydro community through live content and an engaging virtual experience for those looking for perspective and discussion on current and future issues affecting the hydroelectric power and dams markets.
Attendees will receive a certificate of attendance after the session is concluded.
In addition, all of the dozens of previously recorded HYDRO+ training sessions are available on demand, to be watched any time. So if these sessions don’t fit your training needs, there are plenty of others that do.
