AI can significantly impact the design of hydro power plants by optimally balancing design and cost efficiency. By analyzing large amounts of data on environmental conditions, water flows and material properties, AI enables more precise design decisions that maximize performance and reduce construction costs. Using AI-design tools, architects and engineers can develop complex shapes and structures that blend harmoniously into the landscape while being highperformancers. Intelligent algorithms can simulate different construction options and calculate in real time how design changes affect efficiency and costs. In this way, AI helps to develop more sustainable, resource-efficient hydropower plants that best combine technical and economic requirements where a factory of the future becomes not only a machinepark but also an aesthetic construction.
