SMARTIDROALPI
Micro-hydropower generation systems, regulation, and supervision for alpine refuges, villages, and mountain pastures of renewable energy networks.
Scheda del progetto
The SMARTIDROALPI project addresses the water and energy needs of small mountain communities (refuges, mountain pastures, small villages) by developing innovative digital solutions and tools for the efficient integration of intermittent renewable sources (solar, wind, etc.) into their energy systems. Specifically, the project aims to prototype a TRL6-level digital micro-hydropower generation system interfaced in parallel with other electricity production sources such as photovoltaic solar and small wind turbines.
