Versions Notes Abstract Climate change has had an impact on the reduction in river flows in many places, affecting the hydroelectric production of several power plants, and this, together with the reduction in the economic retribution for this type of generation in several countries, has meant a ...

Introduction The effects of climate change resulting from global warming can be measured according to physical parameters. Severe and unstable weather events can be evaluated as the melting of glaciers...
3.2. Hydroelectric Power Plants Figure 1 illustrates the typical operation of a hydro power plant that has a reservoir. As noted, HPPs typically consider the periods of the day with low energy prices for pumping, and the other periods of the day (with high prices) for producing energy. As...
Versions Notes Abstract In Brazil, hydroelectricity represents close to 70% of the energy consumed in the country. However, hydroelectric plant operations may be affected by the deposit of sediments for erosive processes on reservoir margins. This study presents the results of implementing two semi-ri...
For this, forced interruption scenarios will be considered and inserted in a model to optimize the operation of turbines in a real power plant. The proposed methodology consists of two steps, firstly, the optimization of the maintenance schedule of the hydroelectric plant is carried out, to ...
This trend can be traced back to the economic investment costs associated with the size of the plant: for the same installed power and for the maximum sizes of the microhydroelectric plant, the CAPEX assumes a greater specific weight in the projection of the IRR. For the smaller CAPEX, ...
Further on, it is possible to identify another AST power plant, the first in Lesignano de’ Bagni (Figure 6d) and the Lesignano de’ Bagni waste collection area (Figure 6e) belonging to the municipality, followed by another AST power plant (Figure 6f). From the waste collection area, ...
In fact, the length of the water diversion for the operation of a small hydropower plant is the key indicator for understanding the degree of pressure exerted by these installations and, therefore, for assessing the hydromorphological alterations they may cause, and not the installed power capacity...
Versions Notes Abstract In light of Switzerland’s 2050 energy goals, the nation aims to boost its domestic hydroelectric output, notably focusing on small-scale hydroelectric power plants. Concurrently, there is an effort to renovate hydroelectric plants to make them more environmentally friendly, emph...
