What happens to the network if you close a penstock, change a flow rate or bring an intervention forward? With THESEUS you simulate different operating scenarios and assess their effects before acting on the plant.
THESEUS simulates the effects of an intervention on the hydraulic network before it is carried out: different configurations are compared, critical issues are identified and planning is done with greater awareness. Every intervention starts from a simulation.
The questions before every intervention
What happens to the network if you close a penstock? What if you change a flow rate? What if you bring an intervention forward or postpone it? In a complex hydraulic system every operation has downstream effects, on safety and on production, that are hard to estimate without a model.
What THESEUS lets you do
- Simulate different network configurations, modelling flows through pipes and channels.
- Identify critical issues in advance linked to planned operations.
- Compare the effects of different scenarios, including on plant production.
- Planning interventions choosing the best timing and configuration.
From simulation to production plan
THESEUS is part of IDRO Suite: the simulated impact of an intervention is linked to MAIA's unavailability management and IDRO's production plan, so maintenance and energy management work on the same data.
Frequently asked questions
What is THESEUS?
THESEUS is the IDRO Suite software for simulating hydraulic interventions: it models flows in pipes and channels and assesses the impact of an intervention before it is carried out.
Which scenarios can be simulated?
Pipe closures, flow changes, bringing forward or postponing an intervention and, more generally, different network configurations, comparing their effects.
What are the advantages of simulating before intervening?
Identify potential safety and production issues in advance and plan interventions with greater awareness.
