DEEPYDRO
HYDREOLE has developed its own software DEEPHYDRO to provide detailed analysis of all types of hydroelectric power plant, easily build and compare scenarios and determine the most appropriate and optimised construction or renovation scenarios. -
ETHyC
ETHyC (Evaluation Tool of Hydroelectric Capacity) is a large-scale hydroelectric potential identification tool developed by HYDREOLE. By utilizing various layers of topography, rainfall, evapotranspiration, and temperature, it allows for the calculation of average flow rate and altitude at any point worldwide. The tool also calculates, between a water intake point and a discharge point, the total drop, equipment flow rate, distance, slope, and power (min and max). This tool functions for all power ranges (from kW to GW) across all watershed sizes. ETHyC operates on QGIS and is generally paired with various complementary analyses to identify the most suitable sites for hosting hydroelectric developments.

TURBNPRO
TURBNPRO is a specific type of software for the preliminary dimensioning of hydroelectric turbines. HYDREOLE can rapidly study different configurations suitable to a specific site and, when dealing with the renovation of an existing site, check the compatibility of different kinds of turbines and their possible configuration within the existing structures.

SIMSEN
SIMSEN is a simulation software for the analysis of electrical power networks, adjustable speed drives and hydraulic systems. It is developed by the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL Lausanne, Switzerland). HYDREOLE has already used it for many applications of medium or high head hydroelectric systems, either when studying the renovation or the construction of a new system. This is probably the most powerful software for detailed analysis of transient behaviour of a plant and to calculate the surge pressure, turbine stability and regulation parameters.
