Key Offerings

  • Digital Twin TechnologyUsing real-time simulations of waterways and plant dynamics to optimize output without additional infrastructure.
  • Equivalent Power Plant (EPP) SystemA virtual plant model aggregating multiple small hydropower sites into a single power source, stabilizing grid frequency effectively.
  • Supercapacitor IntegrationRapid response to fluctuations, balancing energy with minimal wear on equipment, and reducing grid reliance on fossil fuels.

How It Works

Data Gathering

Local sensors collect real-time information across sites.

Digital Twin Processing

Cloud-based simulations predict energy capacity using water flow dynamics.

Grid Response

EPP software optimizes energy output while supercapacitors provide instant power balancing.

Tinfos Collaboration

Early results with Tinfos demonstrate Kelda Kraft’s capacity to stabilize and optimize hydropower networks, showing both environmental and financial benefits.

Kelda Kraft’s technology opens ancillary service markets for smaller hydropower plants, enabling them to support grid stability alongside larger plants.

We believe that supporting innovative projects like this one is not only benefit our company but also contribute to the broader energy community and society at large.
