The spatial distribution of the water stored in the snow is of great importance for the optimal energy use of the power plant storage. (Storage used due to snow melt). At present, the snow cover is mainly recorded via selective snow depth measurements with a small number of measuring stations and is therefore not representative for snow cover with high spatial variability.<\/p>\n
The aim of the \u201cSnowPower\u201d project, which is being implemented in cooperation with VERBUND, is to record the snow depth in the catchment area of storage power plants. In a next step, the amount of runoff due to snowmelt can be derived with the help of hydrological models and the control of the power plants can be optimized. However, the areas to be examined are in (high) alpine terrain and are hardly or not at all accessible. Therefore, we resort to the application of remote sensing methods such as photogrammetry, which allows measuring in photos and extracting 3D information from them.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
