Di-Hydro is an EU-funded project exploring how digital technologies can modernise hydropower, one of the world’s oldest and most reliable sources of renewable energy.
Through this podcast series, we unpack how tools like sensors, Artificial Intelligence, Digital Twins, and data-driven decision-making are helping hydropower plants become smarter, more efficient, and more resilient in the face of climate change and evolving energy demands.
The Di-Hydro project brings together researchers, engineers, and hydropower operators from across Europe to develop practical digital solutions for plant operation, maintenance, environmental monitoring, and water management. These innovations are being tested in real hydropower plants in Greece, Italy, and Serbia, ensuring real-world impact beyond the lab.
This podcast is your gateway to understanding how digitalisation is shaping the future of hydropower, bridging centuries of engineering heritage with the technologies powering Europe’s clean energy transition.

8 JAN 2026 · Episode 1 – Digital Era in Hydropower – the Di-Hydro Project
After exploring the long history of hydropower in Episode 0, we now turn to the present (and the digital future) of this renewable energy source.
In Episode 1 of the Di-Hydro Podcast, we introduce the Di-Hydro project and its mission to modernise hydropower plants through digitalisation. Joined by Dr. Alkiviadis Tromaras (CERTH), Project Coordinator of Di-Hydro, we discuss how tools such as sensors, Artificial Intelligence, and Digital Twins can support hydropower plants become smarter, more efficient, and more resilient to climate and environmental challenges.
This episode breaks down complex concepts and shows how digital technologies are already being tested in hydropower plants across Greece, Italy, and Serbia.
This episode marks the start of the Di-Hydro journey, connecting centuries of hydropower heritage with the technologies shaping its future.
8 JAN 2026 · Episode 0 – Discovering Hot Water: Hydropower in History
Before massive dams and high-tech turbines, hydropower was already shaping human history.
In this opening Episode 0 of the Di-Hydro Podcast Series, we travel back in time to explore how moving water became one of humanity’s first sources of energy, from ancient water wheels in Greece and China, through medieval mills, to the birth of modern hydroelectric power in the late 19th century.
Along the way, we uncover surprising milestones, including inventions that are still in use today, and reflect on why hydropower has been a story of innovation and adaptation.
This episode sets the stage for the series: in the next episodes, we’ll move from the past to the present, exploring how digital technologies are now transforming hydropower for a more resilient and sustainable energy future.
