With recent technological advances, industries are gaining the opportunity to evolve their asset management systems from raw data posted into a database to the transformation of data into knowledge to support decision-making at various levels. This presentation aims to list the multiple initiatives of the Itaipu Binacional operation team on machine learning, artificial intelligence, analytics, big data, cloud management, cybersecurity and the internet of things.

With the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act in August 2022, many in the U.S. hydroelectric power industry are hoping for a significant boost to this “forgotten” renewable. And there are several provisions in the act that directly affect hydropower, all with the goal of making clean energy more affordable and accessible and strengthening resilience to climate change.

During this session, our speakers will discuss the current situation regarding drought and hydropower. They will share how they are gathering data and tracking trends around hydrologic conditions and water supply/inflow, how major purposes such as electricity production and water delivery are affected, and what the long-term trend of climate change/global warming could mean for future operations.

Rehabilitation of existing hydroelectric powerplants can be exacting, and rewarding, work. With many hydro powerhouses having been in operation for 50 years or more, rehabilitation is needed and valuable to keep this vital clean energy resource operational, especially in light of market pressures and the need for baseload facilities to support the continued growth of intermittent renewables.

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 explores various innovative solutions as applied by world-class hydropower organizations.

An exciting mix of clean energy resources creates unique system challenges. This expert panel will delve into pumped storage projects’ role in unlocking a clean energy future. Opportunities and barriers to developing pumped storage projects will be explored, along with the operational experiences of existing pumped storage projects. Comparisons among storage technologies will also be discussed. 

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.
