What is Hydropower?
Hydroelectric power, one of the cleanest and most sustainable technologies, is a renewable source that harnesses the power of moving water (rivers or reservoirs) to generate electricity. It works by passing water through turbines that convert kinetic energy into mechanical energy and then into electrical energy using a generator. In addition, it allows water flow to be regulated and energy to be stored, contributing to the stability of the electrical system.

Optivert – A Novel Method for Inverter Optimization
Inverter overheating is widely recognised across the solar industry, yet most sites continue to rely on OEM curtailment logic that is either too conservative or poorly configured — sacrificing yield while accelerating component wear. This presentation introduces Optivert, RES’ novel inverter temperature management system, and shares results from field trials…
Open-source dataset and AEP validation from a real world case study of turbine upgrades worth 5% AEP
Accurately measuring AEP uplift from wind farm upgrades remains a persistent challenge, particularly where high-quality wind measurements such as LiDAR or met masts are unavailable. This presentation introduces RES’ open-source wind-up methodology and shares results from a real-world case study at Hill of Towie, a 21-turbine onshore wind farm in…
