Smart Dams and Digital Twins in Hydropower
The hydropower sector is entering a digital era, as outlined in Dentons' paper "Smart Dams and Digital Twins: Re-imagining Water Infrastructure in the Age of AI" (October 2025).
This shift is driven by the need for increased efficiency and resilience, with smart dams leveraging AI-driven reservoir management and predictive maintenance via digital twins.
However, this modernization also raises new concerns, including legal, contractual, and cyber-risk questions for operators, developers, and lenders.
The hydropower industry is entering a new phase of digitisation, merging conventional civil engineering with advanced data and control technologies.
As assets age and operational pressures increase, owners and operators are adopting "smart dams" systems to improve performance and reduce risks.
