AUTOMATION TECHNOLOGY Water

AUTOMATING PROCESSES AND USING THE COUNTRY'S MOST IMPORTANT ENERGY SOURCE EVEN MORE EFFICIENTLY

Hydropower is a renewable energy source that plays an essential role in electricity generation in Austria: Hydropower is the most important domestic source of electricity with two-thirds market share. More than 5,000 hydropower plants generate over 44,000 (figure from 2019) gigawatt hours of electricity.

The immense importance of hydropower technology becomes even clearer when its core characteristics are put into perspective: water as a free and unlimited resource is 100% climate-neutral and does not produce any CO2. Hydropower is therefore just as important when it comes to achieving the international climate goals.

ALL ADVANTAGES FOR YOUR HYDROPOWER PLANT

Real-time monitoring

Monitor all your hydropower plants in real time. Control all your plants centrally via the cloud, no matter where you are.

Resource preservation & optimisation

As a result of hydropower plant automation, you increase the efficiency of your plants. This is how you ensure a more efficient use of resources

Predictive Maintenance

You improve plannability and predictability. In this way, you can react more quickly to problems and regulate maintenance much more easily.

SEAMTEC cloud

With the help of the cloud, all relevant data of your facilities are digitally documented. This data is automatically displayed and can be accessed at any time.

HYDROPOWER PLANT AUTOMATION AND PAVING THE WAY TO THE FUTURE 

Hydro energy plays a central role in Austria's energy supply. However, processes in hydropower plants are often still carried out analogously and are associated with considerable expenditure on personnel and other resources. We will be happy to advise you if you want to find out more about the wide range of options for the hydropower plant automation.

The comparatively long service life of hydropower plants is another reason why hydropower plant digitalisation is highly recommended. If you digitalise processes in your hydropower plant, this will open up a wide range of advantages for you:

  • Saving resources  

  • More efficient output   

  • Optimise efficiency 

  • Significantly lower maintenance and servicing costs as well as easy real-time and remote monitoring of the plants

The automation technology to digitalise your hydropower plant 

Control and biomass regulation technology are sub-areas of automation technology and together form the heart of a plant/machine. SEAMTEC develops innovative control processes that make it possible to optimise the efficiency of hydropower and biomass plants to the highest values. With the SEAMTEC turbine controller, we offer one of the most modern turbine control systems for hydropower plants. The software module is perfectly matched to the control cabinets we build, which enable us to guarantee reliable operation of the plant. Our team of experts is on hand to provide advice and support throughout the entire project, which includes your hydropower plant automation.

DIGITAL WATER POWER: ALL IMPORTANT DATA AT A GLANCE 

All relevant measurement data is stored in a database. The report display enables a comprehensive representation of the measurement data in diagram form over a certain period of time. In this way, you not only have a constant overview of current conditions, but can also better understand circumstances that lie in the past.

SEAMTEC CLOUD: HYDROELECTRIC POWER PLANT DIGITALISATION 

The SEAMTEC cloud provides you with secure and stable plant access as well as real-time monitoring of your hydropower plant(s). We will be happy to explain all the advantages, possibilities and details of the hydropower cloud to you.
