Hydropower optimization

Hydropower optimization

The power systems in US and Norway are changing rapidly in terms of energy mix and operation. In this picture the boundary conditions and role of hydropower is also changing.

Researchers from Norway and US work together to improve planning and operation of hydropower as a backbone in the power system providing energy storage and flexibility. The collaboration is expected to provide great values for the hydropower communities when we together improve state-of-the-art in hydropower optimization research.
