Di-Hydro Podcast Series

We went back in time to explore the ancient roots of #Hydropower, then we dove into Di-Hydro with our Project Coordinator who explained what is the challenge that we are trying to solve for the #EU hydropower sector.Now, we sit down with our partners Acceligence, MAS and A2A, to better explore what does it mean exactly to empower an #HydropowerPlant with #DigitalTechnology, and also, what does this #DigitalUpgrade mean for end-users.In Episode 2 of the Di-Hydro Podcast, our experts Stelios, Tommaso, and Nicola will guide us through #HighTech concepts like #DigitalTwin and #AI-based Decision-Support, and how do these technologies translate in terms of #Efficiency, #EnergyProduction and #Resilience.👉 Missed Episode 1?

Episode 1 – Digital Era in Hydropower – the Di-Hydro ProjectAfter exploring the long history of hydropower in Episode 0, we now turn to the present (and the digital future) of this renewable energy source. In Episode 1 of the Di-Hydro Podcast, we introduce the Di-Hydro project and its mission to modernise hydropower plants through digitalisation. Joined by Dr. Alkiviadis Tromaras (CERTH), Project Coordinator of Di-Hydro, we discuss how tools such as sensors, Artificial Intelligence, and Digital Twins can support hydropower plants become smarter, more efficient, and more resilient to climate and environmental challenges.This episode breaks down complex concepts and shows how digital technologies are already being tested in hydropower plants across Greece, Italy, and Serbia. This episode marks the start of the Di-Hydro journey, connecting centuries of hydropower heritage with the technologies shaping its future.

Episode 0 – Discovering Hot Water: Hydropower in History Before massive dams and high-tech turbines, hydropower was already shaping human history.In this opening Episode 0 of the Di-Hydro Podcast Series, we travel back in time to explore how moving water became one of humanity’s first sources of energy, from ancient water wheels in Greece and China, through medieval mills, to the birth of modern hydroelectric power in the late 19th century. Along the way, we uncover surprising milestones, including inventions that are still in use today, and reflect on why hydropower has been a story of innovation and adaptation.This episode sets the stage for the series: in the next episodes, we’ll move from the past to the present, exploring how digital technologies are now transforming hydropower for a more resilient and sustainable energy future.
