Challenges Renewable energy is one of the fastest growing sources of electricity. Hydroelectricity, one of the oldest methods for generating power, will play a significant role in the projected growth of worldwide generation. Hydroelectric plants have long lifecycles, with some facilities still operating after more than 100 years. Periodic upgrades to equipment, as well as relicensing, allows utilities to extend the life of a hydro facility so it can continue to produce electricity well into the future. Additionally, effective management of hydroelectric or pump storage plant operations ensures the ongoing commercial viability of these assets. Modernizing hydroelectric or pump storage plants, constructing new sites, and retrofitting flood control facilities for efficient power production affords many benefits, but each has their own challenges with cost, performance, and risk. Consider it Solved. For over a century, power producers have turned to Emerson to control critical power generation processes, increase plant efficiencies and megawatt production, and realize long-term O&M savings at both locally- or remotely-controlled facilities. Emerson solutions are trusted world-wide to provide reliable and secure automation for the power generating processes. An Emerson total solution for your hydroelectric power plant can help you achieve business objectives — from a single turbine generator, to a powerhouse, cascaded hydro plants, or your entire generating fleet. Our ability to architect, implement, and manage a hydroelectric automation project will generate increased returns while mitigating risk and staff impacts. Emerson Total Solution for Hydroelectric Power Plants As a leader in power generation automation, Emerson solutions can help reduce outages, promote consistent and safe equipment operation, improve plant performance, and support realization of financial objectives. We recognize that power producers with diverse assets that include hydroelectric generation require broad-scope solutions that encompass innovative technology and lifecycle services. Emerson’s vast experience with both traditional and renewable generating assets enables us to provide integrated solutions that encompass the entire hydroelectric plant and associated body of water. Our automation strategies promote commercial success by increasing operational efficiency and improving reliability and availability while mitigating risk.
