Hydrogrid GmbH services

If you own a flexible power plant, aligning your production to market prices is crucial to the financial results of your company. But if your plant is under 20 MW, you may believe that the financial benefit you can achieve from planning your dispatch in an optimal way does not justify the additional requirements this would place on your IT systems and team. This is why HYDROGRID offers end-to-end production planning services tailored specifically to the needs of small flexible hydro producers.

Keeping costs down and having predictable revenues is essential for small hydro producers. That is why HYDROGRID offers an all-in package for the optimal sale of power at highly competitive fees especially designed for small run-of-river power plants.

In their quest to maximize revenues, owners of large hydro plants invest significant resources to dispatch their plants in an optimal fashion across all power markets. Typically, a team of 20 to 50 energy industry experts work around the clock using licensed forecasting & optimization software to ensure that their generation assets are producing in an optimal fashion under ever-changing market and environmental circumstances. This leaves smaller players – who cannot access the same level of resources – at a competitive disadvantage in the power markets. With the Full Service Optimization Package, HYDROGRID aims to level the playing field by providing smaller generators with a full-service solution that reaches (and in some parts exceeds) the level of sophistication typically applies by the largest producers (such as turbine best-point-optimization).

In addition to our range of flexible services we offer decision support and valuation for new investments, we can analyse existing power plants as well as model new-built projects, and also offer comparison studies (e.g. to compare the financial impact of two different turbine layouts or the effect building a reservoir would have on your revenue potential).
