Control your systems, control your data

Initially used locally to control and monitor hydroelectric facilities, process data now has applications far beyond this original scope. It is shared, aggregated and exported for new operational, analytical and decision-making purposes. From simple technical information, this data has become a strategic and academic resource, used on a large scale and creating value for the companies that own it. It is therefore more important than ever to retain control over the source of this data. Having control over command and control systems also brings greater agility across the entire data value chain – from acquisition and quality to processing and security, through to storage and availability. 

AI-assisted support 

Asset optimisation, monitoring generator efficiency, component lifecycle analysis, detailed maintenance planning, forecasting hydrological inflows, water management and predictive maintenance: the range of use cases keeps growing. Advanced analytics, potentially supported by AI, turn this data into valuable decision-support tools. This provides a better understanding of the condition of installations, helps identify emerging problems and enables operations to be managed with greater precision, responsiveness and performance. 

Our expertise, from the field to cybersecurity 

In this context, command and control systems can no longer be regarded simply as a support function. They are an integral part of a hydroelectric facility, playing a central role in its performance, availability and safety. HYDRO expertise spans the entire value chain, from field-level automation systems through to the use of data, while also incorporating increasingly stringent cybersecurity requirements.
