Hydroelectric power plants managed in response to sub-daily changes of the electricity market undergo rapid variations of turbine discharge, entailing quickly fluctuating water …
Increasing demand for renewable energy has led to a massive expansion of the small-scale hydropower plants and particularly those of run-of-river type. Meanwhile, the awareness …
The operation of dam and reservoirs is one of the main reasons for the transformation of river runoff. The change in the hydrological regime affects a number of other processes …
With the boom of hydropower industry, it has never been more important than now to re- assess approaches to a sustainable hydropower projects management. We evaluated the …
Quantifying short-term changes in river flow is important in understanding the environmental impacts of hydropower generation. Energy markets can change rapidly and energy demand …
As the share of renewable energy grows worldwide, flexible energy production from peak- operating hydropower and the phenomenon of hydropeaking have received increasing …
The implementation of environmental flows (e-flows) aims to reduce the negative impacts of hydrological alteration on freshwater ecosystems. Despite the growing attention to the …
Hydrogen produced from renewable electricity will play an important role in deep decarbonisation of industry. However, adding large electrolyser capacities to a low-carbon …
Hydropower is commonly considered a renewable energy source. Nevertheless, this does not imply an absence of impacts on the riverine ecosystem, the extent of which is expected …
