When flexibility extends power plant life: battery storage and run-of-river
This presentation shows results of thoroughly examined and optimised battery-hydro hybrid system, utilising advanced modelling techniques and algorithms. The hybridisation of the Vogelgrun run-of-river plant has led to enhanced frequency response dynamics and a notable reduction in wear and tear. The comparative results involve digital twins alongside an identical unit without battery storage support, operating under the same conditions for a comprehensive analysis.
This presentation is part of the XFLEX HYDRO project showcased at the final event - Future of Hydro in Lausanne. The event took place on January 31 and February 1, 2024. Explore the innovative discussions and insights shared during this event by downloading the presentation below.
