Hydropower Scheduling User meeting 2027
Innovate, optimise, decide
Join us in Oslo, May 4th-5th, 2027!
Electricity markets are changing fast. Growing shares of wind and solar, stronger price fluctuations, new layers of interconnected markets and emerging flexibility providers such as batteries are reshaping the landscape for hydropower producers and system planners.
At the same time, advances in modelling, optimisation and digital technologies are expanding what is possible in hydropower analysis and decision support.
At the Hydropower Scheduling User Meeting 2027, we will explore the latest developments and applications of SINTEF’s hydropower scheduling tools. The meeting offers a unique opportunity to connect with peers, gain insights from research and discover new advances in digital hydropower scheduling.
