Water Power Tools

Hybrid Storage Systems Integration
The Hydro + Storage Sizing Tool helps hydropower asset owners perform a preliminary assessment of the value of integrating batteries with their facility.

IrrigationViz
Plan, model, and compare upgrades to your irrigation system with decision support mapping software developed by US DOE.

Hydropower Technology Database
Novel technologies continue to be developed for the modernization of hydropower. This database informs users of specific elements that a technology includes.

AquaPV
The AquaPV toolset provides foundational data and analyses for policymakers, developers, utilities, and financial firms seeking to understand floating PV (FPV) project viability on United States reservoirs and estuaries, assisting in scaling the systematic evaluation and implementation of this concept in the US.

NPD HYDRO
The Non-Powered Dam Hydropower Development and Ranking Opportunity Tool is developed to analyze the feasibility of retrofitting existing non-powered dams (NPDs) with generation and energy storage technologies. The tool provides development feasibility ratings based on adding generation paired with energy storage (batteries, hydrogen, pumped storage hydro) to existing NPDs.

Cyber SHIELD for renewables
An INL initiative aimed at helping owner/operators of renewable energy generation secure and protect infrastructure and ensure the transition to the renewable energy grid of the future is secure.
