Introduction<\/h3>\n
HydroFor\u2122 is a software solution for operational hydropower forecasting. HydroFor\u2122 forecasts in-flows to hydropower plants which can then be used to forecast or optimize the power production from run-off-the-river or reservoir based hydropower plants.<\/p>\n

Hydropower forecasting is a necessity in order to plan and operate the power system efficiently. This applies to both commercial players in liberalized power markets and system operators. Accurate hydropower forecasting is needed by asset owners and electricity traders in order to optimize and trade power production efficiently. By increasing forecast accuracy, asset owners and traders can optimize the operation of hydro plants with reservoirs and reduce costs of imbalance fees and penalties from run-of-the-river hydro plants.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t

How does HydroFor\u2122 work<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n
\n\t
HydroFor\u2122 is a self-learning and self-calibrating software system based on a combination of physical models and advanced machine learning. The physical model separates forecasted inflow into a direct component from immediate precipitation into the reservoir and a delayed component represented by precipitation aggregated over the catchment. The model is trained using forecasted inflow (precipitation and evaporation) and observed inflow derived from reservoir water level, turbine flow and overflow.\u00a0 This combines the best of artificial intelligence with hydro power domain knowledge in order to produce the most accurate hydro power forecasts available.<\/p>\n
Forecasts are produced every time the system receives new data, which can be updated weather forecasts or new measurement data. HydroFor\u2122 can run in either an online mode (continuously receive real-time measurement data) or in an offline mode where historical data is retrieved monthly, or any other time interval.<\/p>\n
The system can use one or more weather forecast providers as input and automatically detect the optimal prioritization of the different weather forecasts for each hydro plant and for different forecast horizons.<\/p>\n
The self-learning and self-calibrating algorithms will continuously learn about the catchment area and the hydro plant characteristics. The algorithms will adapt to changing conditions, seasonal variations, and as the turbine ages, such that forecasts stay accurate over time without the need for manual configuration.<\/p>\n
HydroFor\u2122 can deliver power forecasts in almost any file format and can be integrated directly into the operational IT-platform of the client, such that data is retrieved and delivered seamlessly to and from relevant systems.<\/p>\n
HydroFor\u2122 is available as a software package installed locally on the client\u2019s servers, or as a service hosted on servers operated and maintained by ENFOR\u2122. HydroFor\u2122 is supplied with various support, maintenance and license packages, which can be customized to client specifications to provide a cost\/performance ratio which fits the needs of the individual client.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
