With climate change affecting weather patterns worldwide, resulting in more droughts and extreme events, advanced hydrologic and streamflow modeling can help hydroelectric project owners adapt their operations, now and in the future.

The Hydro Hall of Fame recognizes extraordinary hydro achievement throughout the world, with a special emphasis on long-lasting facilities. Hydro Review has been inducting legacy facilities in the Hydro Hall of Fame since 1995, designating plants that have been operating continuously for 100 years or more. Together, this prestigious group demonstrates the long-lasting and significant contributions of hydroelectric plants, including clean renewable power, emission-free generation and reliability.

Cybersecurity and data sharing are critical elements in the successful execution of hydropower generation. This session will discuss ways to reduce cyber hacking risks and tools to safely share asset information. Digitalization and digital twins will also be discussed.

Vibration monitoring for hydroelectric generators is a very important technology to help prevent catastrophic failures. IMI Sensors provides customers with several different options for properly monitoring a hydro machine. These options include some very low-cost solutions that can fall within almost any budget.

Hydropower plants have moved from traditional operation to frequent mode changes and increased operation under suboptimal conditions. As the thereby increased maintenance demand has to be met despite reduced O&M budgets, maintenance has to become more intelligent, easier to plan and has to be based on the actual condition of the equipment. To achieve this goal, Voith has set up a data expertise center called the OnPerformance.Lab. The OnPerformance.Lab, a multi-disciplinary team of experts in data analytics and hydropower, provides diagnostic services, lifting maintenance planning to the next level.
