About 50% of all hydropower plants (HPPs) worldwide were originally commissioned more
than 40 years ago, so that the advanced age of the fleet is a major concern across all …

Hydropower has the advantages of quickly responding to load variability, which overcomes
the unpredictable and unstable variabilities of solar and wind power. Therefore, such power …

A grid-connected integrated system incorporating cascade hydropower, solar/photovoltaic,
and wind power requires a hydraulic turbine to operate frequently under off-design …

Hydropower is the third largest supplier of global electricity generation trailing behind coal
and natural gas. It serves as the backbone of low-carbon electricity generation, supplying …

Abstract Rotating Vortex Rope (RVR) resulting from flow instabilities inside draft tube affects
the hydraulic turbine's efficiency and wear. Among the passive and active RVR mitigation …

Large-scale energy storage systems, such as underground pumped-storage hydropower
(UPSH) plants, are required in the current energy transition to variable renewable energies …

Intermittent renewable energy sources are characterized by a highly fluctuating,
