“Development of digital solutions for existing hydropower operation and maintenance” within the framework of Horizon Europe Program

Open Call “Development of digital solutions for existing hydropower operation and maintenance” within the framework of Horizon Europe Program

The purpose of the call: development of novel sensor technologies and digital solutions for digitization of existing hydropower plants and improving their sustainable operation by addressing one or more of the following: weather and flow forecast, biodiversity monitoring, predictive modelling and artificial intelligence for the analysis of sensor data for decision-making in operation and maintenance. Project results are expected to contribute to the following outcomes:

  • Advance the European scientific basis, leadership and global role in the area of renewable and solar fuels;
  • Provide solar fuel breakthrough solutions by bridging solar energy and fuel needs with the potential of high penetration in the energy system, ensuring stability and security of energy supply;
  • Increase European technology competitiveness in solar fuel technologies, thus supporting the EU goals for climate protection, energy independence and economic growth;
  • Develop artificial photosynthesis solutions, which will minimize further downstream processing and increase their scalability and integration within the industrial value chain.

Project proposals will be accepted from September 6, 2022 to January 10, 2023.
