Integration of hydropower and solar PV: a case study
In spring 2024, Easy Hydro completed the refurbishment of a hydropower scheme at a private estate in Ireland, including the design of a new automation strategy. The site also has solar PV installed and features a water storage pond, and therefore one of the major goals of the project was only to operate the turbine […]
3D design of a potential hydropower system at a dam
Easy Hydro carried out a feasibility study to install a hydropower system on the environmental flow discharge from a dam. The water is currently discharged to atmospheric pressure by a set of valves, dissipating all the energy potential. In the feasibility study, we assessed different options in terms of turbine types, power output and hydraulic […]
