Hydro Module
Hydro Module
The Hydro module adds the hydro resource and the hydro component. You can specify the stream flow in the Hydro resource, either as twelve monthly values, or as an imported time series. The Hydro module is ideal for users who model systems that include conventional, small, or micro hydroelectricity generation.
Remote Communities
Combine run-of-river micro-hydro with solar and battery storage to design least-cost hybrid microgrids for remote communities near streams or rivers.

Evaluate micro-hydro as a reliable, low-fuel-cost generation source for rural electrification and development programs in mountainous or riparian regions.
Explore Humanitarian Solutions →Mining & Remote Industry
Reduce diesel fuel costs at remote mine sites located near water resources by integrating small hydro generation into the site power system model.
