individual stations with the present experts. Amongst many others, the stations presented an advanced flood simulator, a virtual training on risky scenarios to gain new valuable insights into river and powerplant dynamics and deepen mutual understanding and insight between technical and operational staff. They also highlighted the use of Artificial Intelligence to reduce time-consuming manual labour, for example when counting and identifying fish that hydropower plants have an impact on. In this context Dr. Klaus Engels noted: \u201cDigital technologies will not replace our employees in the power plants, but rather support them in their daily work in the form of a reliable assistance system\u201d.   <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2821b36 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2821b36\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6c4aa60\" data-id=\"6c4aa60\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-636ac7e elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"636ac7e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vgbe.energy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Bachhiesl_Eroeffn_1500-1024x768.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-31796\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vgbe.energy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Bachhiesl_Eroeffn_1500-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.vgbe.energy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Bachhiesl_Eroeffn_1500-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/www.vgbe.energy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Bachhiesl_Eroeffn_1500-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/www.vgbe.energy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Bachhiesl_Eroeffn_1500.png 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Dr Mario Bachhiesl, Head of Department Renewables, vgbe energy<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-fea2b6e\" data-id=\"fea2b6e\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1af255e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1af255e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Within the vgbe hydropower community, a comprehensive experience transfer takes place in several committees. \u201cBased on practical examples, members report on how digital solutions have been successfully implemented.
