Innovation Grid

Purpose: Analysis and control of sediment generation in erosive processes and its deposition in reservoirs. 

Objectives

Extend and optimize the processes of expansion engineering, maintenance, operation, asset control, and asset unitization through the Digital Twin.

Key Results

  • Technical: Hydrosedimentological model (TRL7) applicable to studies of sediment generation processes and slope stability
  • Strategic: Maintenance of generation assets
  • Economic: Reduction of maintenance costs
