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

D-HYDROFLEX develops digital technologies for increasing plant flexibility and sustainability. Hydropower is vital for providing water supply, irrigation, drought mitigation, and flood control while supporting the transition to a greener energy system. The core pillars of D-HYDROFLEX project are: *Digitalisation: Leveraging SCADA data to create a digital twin for hydro plants, enabling predictive maintenance and real-time monitoring; *Flexibility: Enhancing hydro plant performance using digital twin technology;    *Sustainability: Supporting biodiversity and environmental impact monitoring. D-HYDROFLEX solutions will be demonstrated on six real hydroelectric power plants (HPP) across five European countries. This will ensure the replicability of the developed solutions in different geographical and market set ups testing variety use cases.  One of the demonstration power plant is Wały Śląskie HPP in Poland. Beyond the FASADA, the project partners are TAURON Ekoenergia sp. z o.o. and Politechnika Wrocławska.The project consortium gathers 18 partners from 7 European countries.The project is funded by Horizon Europe.
