Energy transition challenges…
Hydropower
Energy production can be optimised
while minimising costs by using
operational control systems based on
actual data, by reducing environmen-
tal e ects. The delivery of renewable
energy to the electricity grid can be
improved by using hydropower as a
bu er for the strong fluctuations in
wind and solar energy.
Renewable energy must be competitive to be successful and achieve the Paris climate
goals. Water will play a major role in the energy transition worldwide over the next thirty
years. In the future energy mix, water will be just as important as oil and gas are now. It
is safe, easy and cheap to store and it has a high heat capacity.
