Hydroelectric

We provide consulting services for the design of hydroelectric power plants and turbines.

WE WORK WITH

Engineering firms, investors, turbine manufacturers, plant managers and financial institutions.

WHAT WE DO

Electromechanical design

We deal with the design and optimization of electromechanical components in hydropower plants, such as turbines, generators and control systems. Our experience allows us to develop customized solutions adapted to the dimensions and constraints of the project. We work closely with the client to integrate advanced technologies that improve efficiency and reduce long-term maintenance costs.

Hydraulic turbine design

We specialize in designing custom hydraulic turbines to meet the specific needs of each facility using experimentally validated models. We consider critical parameters such as water flow, hydraulic jump, and site characteristics to develop solutions that maximize energy production and minimize losses. Hydraulic turbine design projects can also include both hydroelectric Pelton turbines and axial hydraulic turbine design. We use advanced fluid dynamics simulation models to optimize turbine performance under real-world conditions.

Technical due diligence

We provide technical due diligence services to assess the condition of existing or future hydroelectric facilities, providing an accurate picture of the technical conditions and associated risks. This includes the project review, verification of plant performance and the analysis of asset life prospects. These studies are critical to the decision-making process of investors and financial institutions.

Maintenance plans for hydroelectric power plants

We develop predictive and preventive maintenance plans to ensure that hydroelectric facilities operate efficiently and without interruption. Our plans include continuous monitoring, periodic inspections and planned interventions to prevent costly outages and maximize plant availability. We use advanced monitoring and diagnostic technologies to optimize downtime and reduce operating costs.

Innovative solutions for hydropower flexibility

We offer innovative solutions to improve the flexibility of hydroelectric plants to meet the needs of an ever-changing power system. These include integration with energy storage systems (such as pumped hydro storage) and the use of digital technologies to control and intelligently manage hydroelectric resources. These developments enable faster response to changes in energy demand and greater operational efficiency.
