Nemaitonys Hydro
Run-of-river turbine control
A run-of-river plant that used to generate whenever water allowed and sell at whatever the hour paid. We put a controller between the turbine and the market: generation is now shaped against day-ahead and balancing prices, with a battery smoothing the ramp so the connection never trips its export limit.
Head and flow are read continuously through the Bridge, and the plant reports into the same dispatch console as every other asset in the portfolio.
