Power systems and markets have undergone a significant change last year. Negative prices occurred much more often due to ongoing increase of renewable power production. Simultaneously, the introduction of flow-based market coupling in the Nordics marks a critical milestone, utilising the existing transmission infrastructure more efficiently, but also introducing new complexities for market participants. How can hydropower scheduling adapt to this changing landscape and what modelling tools are necessary to do valuable, efficient, and robust decision making for investment and operation planning?

Join us at the Hydropower Scheduling User meeting to explore how advancements in investment analysis, physical modelling, and market analysis are shaping the future of hydropower. This year’s meeting highlights the latest methods and tools for addressing today’s challenges, with a focus on digital technology breakthroughs, new concepts, and enhanced frameworks for planning and operations.

Featuring presentations from experienced users of SINTEF’s Hydro Power Scheduling models, alongside insights from SINTEF’s latest research, the meeting provides valuable perspectives on navigating both the European and Norwegian energy markets.

Whether you’re looking for practical strategies, keen to connect with peers, or eager to discuss specific challenges with our researchers, this meeting offers a unique opportunity to exchange knowledge and ideas.
