Maximize your hydroelectricity production

Automate your hydropower plant further

Incoming water flow measurements unleash further water catchment and revenues.

Detect anomalies in real-time

Early anomaly detection reduces your reaction time and prevents your electricity production from suffering evitable losses.

Quantify efficiency drifts

Detect sub-optimal energy production and trigger maintenance prior to suffering losses.

Increase revenues, prevent damages

Optimize energy trading revenues

With next-day and next-week river discharge predictions, your choice between SPOT, future contract and regulated markets is made easy.

Secure your installation before it’s too late

Mid-term water height forecasts provide you with insights on future flood events, giving you time to deploy counter-measures.

Hedge your investment against droughts

Subscribe to our insurance contract to protect your hydroelectricity generation revenues from prolonged droughts.

Streamflow forecasts are delivered via an API

Integrate the data with your existing monitoring systems

Integrating near real-time streamflow monitoring data and predictions to your existing software is made as smooth as possible thanks to our well-documented API that comes with examples.

A highly reliable API

Withdraw the most up-to-date water discharge and height forecasts and monitoring information, in real-time.

Reliable river discharge predictions

Hydro

BWI specializes in the forecasting of river discharge around the globe. BWI brings together in-situ data, space-borne observations and machine learning to feed and empower hydraulic and hydrodynamical models. A provider of online subscription-based virtual continental freshwater monitoring stations, BWI aims to make scalable – across space and time, hydrological forecasts to address climate change induced water stress. This value proposition proves particularly useful to the hydropower value chain (hydropower plan operators, energy poolers, energy resellers), who reduce water spills, streamline maintenance, and derive additional profits from electricity markets.
