Reduction of maintenance and repairs
Hydropower plants that were revitalized by GLOBAL Hydro are more cost-efficient. Especially ongoing maintenance and repair costs are reduced.
Before replacing an entire system, GLOBAL Hydro revitalizes plants to optimize performance and prolong a plants lifecycle.
Our revitalization specialists develop concepts focusing on optimizing costs and keeping the plant’s downtime to a minimum. GLOBAL Hydro does not only restore, but improves performance by integrating state-of-the-art technology and digitalization.
Prolonging the life cycle of a hydropower plant is sustainable in itself. We take it a step further and upgrade your plant to be sustainable and cost efficient. Thus, we optimize the performance and ecological benefit at the same time. This requires a comprehensive concept, which our specialists develop in cooperation with our customers.
Revitalization does not have to mean shutting down energy production all together. Our specialists figure out ways to keep the plant operating and feeding power to the grid. Our concepts are created to revitalize one machine after another and not all at the same time. This keeps downtimes – if any – to an absolute minimum.
What may have been the best solution in the past, is not necessarily state-of-the-art anymore. That is why we assess all design concepts, used technologies, and implement updates where needed. With our expertise in digitalizing hydropower plants, the most efficiency is gained by preparing the facilities for our state-of-the-art power plant control-system HEROS.
