Development of digital solutions for existing hydropower operation and maintenance

Development of novel sensor technologies and digital solutions for digitization of existing hydropower plants and improving their sustainable operation by addressing one or more of the following: weather and flow forecast, biodiversity monitoring, predictive modelling and artificial intelligence for the analysis of sensor data for decision-making in operation and maintenance. Acknowledging eventual confidentiality of operational data, to ensure wide uptake and reliability, actions should promote the highest standards of transparency and openness of the digital solutions, extending to aspects such as assumptions, architecture, code and data.

Eligible costs will take the form of a lump sum.
