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
Operators juggle pump and turbine logic separately, risking inefficiency and errors.
Production and pumping schedules rely on static assumptions, leading to costly imbalances and lost opportunities.
Intraday updates lag behind reality, leaving imbalances and foregone revenues.
Project decisions are based on incomplete or outdated scenarios, making ROI hard to prove.
With HYDROGRID Insight
Seamlessly coordinate pump, turbine, or reversible units for energy and ancillary bids in one place.
Generate accurate pumped storage production plans across short, medium, and long-term horizons.
Adjust within minutes to market or inflow shifts, reducing imbalances and unlocking more value.
Model multiple price, hardware and hydrological scenarios to validate ROI and de-risk new pumped storage projects.
Module Overview
From smarter planning to confident decisions — see how HYDROGRID turns pumped storage complexity into your daily advantage.
Anticipate with confidence
Predict water inflows with unmatched accuracy. Our forecasting engine integrates live weather data, your topology and hydrological patterns in your water basin, to give you a clear view of what’s ahead— so you can plan smarter and reduce uncertainty.
Test before you commit
Run multiple hardware, weather, operational and market scenarios to understand the impact of every decision. Whether it’s optimizing pumping cycles, evaluating price volatility, or stress-testing your assumptions, our simulation tools help you minimize risk and maximize returns— for Investment-Grade Reports before a single megawatt is dispatched.
Dynamic production optimization
Markets move fast—and so should you. Our platform continuously monitors conditions and recommends optimal charge/discharge strategies for all market products. Stay ahead of price fluctuations, grid demands, and operational constraints to ensure peak efficiency and profitability every hour of the day.
Operate responsibly, without compromise
Ensure compliance with environmental regulations and operational constraints at all times. Our platform continuously monitors reservoir levels, flow limits, efficiency curves and ecological requirements— and integrates these bounds in production plan suggestions. Stay within your legal and sustainability commitments while optimizing for performance and protecting asset health.
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.
What users have to say about us.
We've been using HYDROGRID Insight since 2019, and it continues to deliver strong results. In 2024, we saw 37% higher revenue compared to manual plant operation, all without adding any extra personnel. It's been a valuable tool for maximizing reservoir flexibility usage and running our plants more efficiently year after year.
Already in our first simulation project with HYDROGRID Insight, we explored how different technologies can increase potential revenue with up to 14.5%, which directly informed our investment decision. This advanced technology will significantly speed up our ability to navigate complex investment decisions ensuring maximum profitability for our partners.
