Considering the global societal pressure to move toward cleaner technologies, the hydroelectric generation market is beginning to receive much more attention. Although many of the best sites have already been developed, additional methods for increasing efficiency and expanding technological utilization are being evaluated rigorously. Furthermore, the financial benefit from clean development mechanisms (CDMs) that can be derived from hydroelectric facilities stress the importance of accurately measuring and monitoring fleet performance or the performance of a particular asset.

Since operating hydro plants is much different than operating other power generation assets, a methodology for benchmarking and performance improvement needs to accommodate such individuality. Our fleet optimization tools for hydroelectric facilities consider the intricacies and differences of both run-of-river plants and pumped storage facilities, addressing issues such as re-licensing, environmental/ecological concerns, navigation, and flood control.
