OFF THE GRID 

CUSTOM MICRO‐HYDROPOWER AUTOMATION 

CHALLENGE 

Cadens LLC is pilo(ng a mul(‐turbine micro‐hydropower system in Rome, Wisconsin at its Mill facility. The 

current  flow  control  is  a  labor‐intensive  manual  opera(on.  No  real‐(me  water  level  measurements  are 

available, leading to high opera(on costs and inefficient energy produc(on.   

Wetskills-USA 2015 is organized and supported by: Study case provided by:

Evelien Brand, Greg Giberson, Tijmen Groot & Ka(e Hall 

A self‐regula(ng independent system composed of a component map (as below) as well as a decision tree 

that will drive op(mal, automated power genera(on.
