Our Pumped Storage Solution Makes All the Difference

HYDROGRID’s digital twin technology delivers unparalleled accuracy, using hourly granularity, real-time inputs, and detailed hydrological modelling. Confidently plan for the future while optimizing outcomes for every scenario.

Without HYDROGRID Insight

Manual Workarounds for Pump & Turbine Modes
Operators juggle pump and turbine logic separately, risking inefficiency and errors.
❌ Inaccurate Planning Across Horizons
Production and pumping schedules rely on static assumptions, leading to costly imbalances and lost opportunities.
❌ Slow Response to Sudden Market Events
Intraday updates lag behind reality, leaving imbalances and foregone revenues.
❌ Uncertain Investment Cases
Project decisions are based on incomplete or outdated scenarios, making ROI hard to prove.

With HYDROGRID Insight

Optimized Multi-Mode Handling
Seamlessly coordinate pump, turbine, or reversible units for energy and ancillary bids in one place.
✅ Reliable Multi-Horizon Planning
Generate accurate pumped storage production plans across short, medium, and long-term horizons.
✅ Real-Time Intraday Re-Optimisation
Adjust within minutes to market or inflow shifts, reducing imbalances and unlocking more value.
✅ Investment-Grade Simulations
Model multiple price, hardware and hydrological scenarios to validate ROI and de-risk new pumped storage projects.

Integrated maintenance planning

Turn outages into opportunities. By analyzing alternative maintenance windows directly in the planning tool, HYDROGRID helps you minimize revenue loss, share one “source of truth,” and prevent last-minute scheduling chaos.

Market & weather-aware re-planning

Stay ahead of volatility. Our platform checks inflows, reservoir levels, and market prices hourly to re-adjust production plans in real time — helping you capture negative-price pumping opportunities and avoid costly spill risks.
