Hydropower
References
We are convinced that we will get the best performance of our systems in terms of economic and ecological aspects. The first milestone has been already reached by the integration of the hydropower plant to the CyberNoc flexibility management platform. The next milestone is the integration of our planned BESS to the software and the combination of both systems - water power and BESS.
Turn hydropower flexibility into market value
Hydropower and pumped storage flexibility is monetized by matching asset capability with market needs. Relevant markets may include balancing services, intraday, day-ahead and reserve products.
- Create new revenue streams from existing generation assets
- Support grid stability through controllable dispatch and balancing services
- Optimized market participation with atuomated bidding and operational monitoring
- Improve transparency with asset-level performance and revenue reporting
Optimize hydropower operations across balancing markets
Unlock the full value of your hydropower assets through intelligent participation in balancing markets. Automated dispatch and real-time optimization enable generators to:
- respond to grid signals
- capture flexibility revenues
- maximize the economic value of available water resources
Hydropower flexibility in action
Explore practical examples of hydropower generation responding to balancing market activations in real time.
Hybrid system for maximum market value
Combine hydropower with battery energy storage systems to respond even faster to market and grid signals, optimize water utilization, reduce turbine stress, strenghten resilience to the growing impacts of climate change, and unlock additional revenue streams from balancing and energy markets.
Preserve water for higher-value opportunities
Use your battery to respond to short-term market activations and frequency deviations while conserving valuable water resources for periods with the highest market value.
Accelerate balancing market response
Combine the fast response of battery storage with the sustianed power delivery of hydropower to improve ancillary service performance and capture additional balancing market revenues.
Reduce turbine wear & strenghten climate resilience
Let your battery absorb rapid fluctuations and frequent dispatch charges, reducing turbine cycling and mechanical stress. Increase resilience against changing environmental conditions such as low rainfall, reduced snowpack, and earlier snowmelt.
Maximize flexibility across energy markets
Create a hybrid asset capable of participating in multiple market opportunities simultaneously, combining hydropower's energy capacity with the battery's rapid response capabiltiies.
