AI-Powered Optimization

Maximize hydro revenue. Minimize turbine wear.

AI-powered optimization for hydraulic turbomachines that dynamically adjusts operating points based on real-time market prices, weather data, and demand forecasts.

The Problem

Operators leave 5–15% of revenue on the table

Most hydropower plants run at fixed operating points determined during commissioning. But electricity spot prices shift by the hour, water inflow varies with weather, and grid demand fluctuates constantly. Static setpoints simply can't capture these dynamic market opportunities.

Average annual revenue loss per 100 MW plant: $1.2M–$3.6M

The Solution

DAMagedOpt continuously optimizes every turbine

Our AI engine ingests real-time spot prices, hydrological data, and demand forecasts to calculate the optimal operating point for each turbine — every 15 minutes. You get higher revenue per megawatt-hour without exceeding mechanical limits.

Typical efficiency gain: +5–15% revenue uplift from day one

How It Works

Three steps to optimized operations

01

Connect Your Plant Data

Integrate with your existing SCADA and DCS systems. Our connectors support all major protocols — setup takes hours, not weeks.

02

AI Optimizes in Real Time

Our models analyze spot prices, weather forecasts, water inflow, and grid demand to calculate optimal operating points every 15 minutes.

03

See Increased Revenue

Track gains with our analytics dashboard. Monitor revenue uplift, efficiency improvements, and mechanical health in real time.

Benefits

Why operators choose DAMagedOpt

Higher Revenue per MWh

Dynamic price-aware optimization captures every revenue opportunity across volatile energy markets.

Reduced Mechanical Degradation

Operating within optimal envelopes minimizes cavitation, vibration, and long-term wear on runners and bearings.

Automated Grid Compliance

Automatically meet grid frequency, voltage, and ramp-rate requirements without manual operator intervention.

Real-Time Decision Support

Actionable insights delivered to your control room, with full transparency into every optimization decision.

Pricing

You only pay when we deliver results.

Our fee is a percentage of the additional revenue (uplift) that DAMagedOpt generates for your plant. The better the data you provide, the lower your percentage.

What is uplift?

Uplift is the additional revenue generated by DAMagedOpt's optimized dispatch compared to your plant's baseline operation. We measure it transparently so you only pay for real, verified gains.

What are hillcharts?

Hillcharts (also called turbine efficiency maps) show how efficiently a turbine converts water energy into electricity as a function of hydraulic head and flow rate. Higher quality hillcharts allow DAMagedOpt to build more accurate digital twins, leading to better optimization results.
