Renewable Generation
Kestrel Hydro Modernization
A control and turbine modernization that extends asset life while improving seasonal generation efficiency.
860 MW
British Columbia, Canada
Challenge
A mature hydro asset needed higher seasonal output without expanding its reservoir footprint or interrupting critical regional supply.
Solution
Kinetra modernized turbine controls, generator protection, and plant optimization software in sequenced outage windows.
Result
The upgrade increased usable output, improved ramp precision, and extended the expected operating life of major equipment.
VERIFIED IMPACT
14% output uplift
Compared with the project baseline and documented in the operating handover.
