Hydrostadium supports public- and private-sector stakeholders in the development, modernisation and optimisation of hydropower facilities.
From feasibility studies and the design of structures through to construction supervision, our teams draw on comprehensive expertise in hydraulics, civil engineering and electromechanical equipment. Our objective: to design high-performance, reliable facilities tailored to the energy and environmental challenges of each territory.
A hydropower plant converts the energy of water into electricity. The head and turbine flow rate determine the installed capacity. Each project requires a detailed analysis of the site, the hydraulic regime and the regulatory constraints. Hydrostadium designs tailor-made solutions to optimise production while ensuring long-term operational safety.
Small hydropower plants (PAH) generate electricity to supply isolated sites or feed it into the grid. They are classified according to their capacity:
These facilities make use of local resources and contribute to diversifying the energy mix. Hydrostadium provides support to assess their potential, design the structures and ensure their performance.
Hydropower harnesses the natural water cycle and generates no direct greenhouse gas emissions during production. It is a renewable, dispatchable energy source that complements other low-carbon sources and can respond rapidly to fluctuations in demand.
The design of hydropower developments incorporates multiple considerations : ecological continuity, management of reserved flows, water quality, landscape integration and control of noise impacts.
Hydrostadium develops technical solutions that meet regulatory requirements while ensuring the robustness and performance of the facilities.
Hydroelectric projects mobilize a wide range of skills: civil engineering, hydraulics, electromechanical engineering, automation and maintenance. They generate local employment for the construction, operation and maintenance of facilities.
In the long term, the associated royalties and revenues contribute to the resources of local authorities and strengthen the projects’ local roots.
Hydroelectricity relies on different types of facilities:
