Hydro System Maintenance

Hydro systems can produce significant power and income for decades if they are operating efficiently and maintained to a quality standard. That is if they are regularly monitored and maintained to ensure smooth operation of your investment.

Every hydropower system is uniquely designed to match the local flow and head characteristics and its natural environment. Knowing how to maintain your system can take time and this is where we can support you, for example, debris management that is impacted by season and flow conditions.

We can also talk you through issues that do not require a technical engineer onsite and discuss correct parts or materials needed or review options to update your system.

Package 1 – One-Off Health Check

This is a non-contract hydro system maintenance visit. Our electrical engineers will visit your site, perform a visual inspection of your system and test all accessible components and consumables, along with reviewing all inverter data and any fault codes that appear. A written report is produced detailing any requirement for remedial or maintenance work. Depending on the system size, this package starts at as little as £250 (+VAT and Travel).

Package 2 – Remote Monitoring

This is a minimum 12 month contract. With our monitoring only option we provide real time monitoring of your hydro system as well as an annual Health Check (Package 1).

If your system goes offline or if any energy production issues occur, we will notify you within 24 hours. This package allows you the confidence that any drop in generation will be identified rapidly, thus limiting any potential loss of revenue.

You will receive generation reports on a monthly basis giving you a full understanding of your systems’ output all year round.

Package 3 – Operation and Maintenance Contract

Package 3 is a minimum 12 month contract. With this package you receive all the benefits of Package 2, as well as SJ1 Renewables replacing parts and optimising your system. Your monthly report will be more detailed as a result of regular checks. The annual Health Check within this package includes cleaning your hydro system to remove debris (not included in Package 1 or 2). Repair visits are covered as part of this package (not including consumables, parts, or travel). This package does not include emergency call-outs, performance enhancements or upgrades which is priced separately.
