Classic Hydro

In this section, we talk about traditional hydropower and how to give a second life to existing plants. If you have an old station that isn’t working at full power, we are here to help. Our team specializes in modernization and fixing complex technical issues.

What we offer:

  • Full technical audit of your facility.

  • Modernization to increase power and reliability.

  • Calculation of all necessary parameters.

Modernizing Turbines: Increasing Efficiency by 20% with New Technology

The Power of Hidden Potential Many older hydropower plants operate with turbines designed in the mid-20th century. However, modern technology can extract significantly more energy from the same water flow. At asumb, we implement advanced retrofitting techniques to increase your plant’s efficiency by up to 20%. Consequently, your existing asset starts generating more revenue without […]

Site Integrity in Pumped Storage Hydropower: The Foundation of Geological and Geodetic Surveys

The viability of a Pumped Storage Hydropower (PSH) project depends entirely on the structural integrity of the site. Before a single cubic meter of concrete is poured, the «Site Integrity» phase determines the technical and economic feasibility of the facility. For projects located in complex mountain massifs, such as the Tien Shan or the Caucasus,

The Second Life of Hydropower: The Power of Modernization

Why Build New When You Can Upgrade? Much of the world’s hydropower infrastructure was built 40 to 60 years ago. These aging assets often operate with outdated manual controls and worn-out turbine runners. At asumbhydro, we believe the most sustainable energy is the energy you already have. Retrofitting—the technical modernization of existing plants—is the fastest
