Hydroelectric power plant monitoring and automation with ifm
Hydroelectric power plant monitoring is essential to ensure reliability, safety, and efficiency in energy generation. At the El Carpio hydroelectric power plant in Andalusia, Endesa uses ifm technology to transform conventional facilities into smart, state-of-the-art plants.
Advanced sensors from ifm analyse vibration, temperature, pressure, flow, and moisture, enabling Endesa to implement predictive maintenance, reduce downtime and increase operational safety.
IO-Link simplifies wiring and enables continuous diagnostics of connected devices, resulting in a reliable and seamlessly integrated monitoring system. By implementing ifm solutions, Endesa strengthens its hydroelectric automation and takes a major step towards Industry 4.0 in renewable energy production.
