In this use case, we demonstrate how Enlitia has maximised the value of water in energy systems by optimizing the usage of both internal and external variables. Our solution integrates factors such as rainfall forecasts alongside operating plans and safety coefficients, ensuring the most efficient water management for hydropower systems. Deployed for a Portuguese portfolio, this optimisation has led to significant operational improvements, enhancing the use of available water while minimizing downtime.
By implementing this custom solution, we achieved an impressive €150,000 of annual savings for 100 MW of installed capacity, maximising the value of each drop of water used for energy generation.
