After the installation and testing process, TSHPCo has completed and successfully put into operation the real-time monitoring and exploitation system for water resources, meeting the requirements of Circular 17/2021/TT-BTNMT.

Continuously improving, updating and upgrading the water resources monitoring system has contributed to improving the monitoring and exploitation of water resources, helping the operating force at the plant to control and monitor online the parameters of measuring the water level upstream and downstream of the dam, the flow parameters through the generator, through the spillway...; promptly having plans in the operation and exploitation of water resources effectively, improving the efficiency of water resource use.

At the same time, with the help of the real-time monitoring and exploitation system of water resources, the company's management board has grasped the situation and operated electricity production, and given timely instructions in regulating the lake water level, which is an important parameter in managing TSHPCo's participation in the electricity market.
