Case Study: Skagerak Kraft improves hydropower production and maintenance with EDRMedeso’s Digital Twin

Digital Twin Helps Skagerak Kraft optimize production and maintenance of hydropower plant

Norwegian energy company Skagerak Kraft faced the challenge of an aging hydropower infrastructure and the inefficiency of its scheduled maintenance procedures, which prevented its production resources from being used to their full potential. To address this, they collaborated with EDRMedeso on the SmartKraft project, utilizing their Ansys Twin Builder-based Digital Twin and IoT analytics solution.

EDRMedeso implemented a Digital Twin of a hydropower generator, creating a virtual model fed with real-time operational data to predict future performance and maintenance needs. This solution provided Skagerak Kraft with invaluable insights, enabling them to understand equipment damage rates and optimize energy production. EDRMedeso's technology has positioned the company and the broader industry to move towards predictive maintenance, promising a more sustainable and efficient future for hydropower.
