Systematic high-resolution assessment of global hydropower potential
Population growth, increasing energy demand and the depletion of fossil fuel reserves necessitate a search for sustainable alternatives for electricity generation. Hydropower could replace a large part of the contribution of gas and oil to the present energy mix. However, previous high-resolution estimates of hydropower potential have been local, and have yet to be applied on a global scale. Th...
متن کاملEstimating Hydropower Potential of an Ungauged Stream
This paper present a simple method of assessing hydropower generation potential of an ungauged Stream/River. Sites on Rukarara and Mushishito in the southern province of Rwanda were selected as case studies. The approach uses flow data of an analogue site to generate the data of an ungauged river. During the study a reconnaissance field visits were conducted. The concerned catchments were delin...
متن کاملHYDROKAL: A module for in-stream hydrokinetic resource assessment
A new tool for hydrokinetic energy potential assessment in rivers—HYDROKAL, which stands for a ‘‘hydrokinetic calculator’’—is presented. This tool was developed in the Fortran 90 programming language as an external module for the CCHE2D application, an existing two-dimensional hydrodynamic numerical model developed at the National Center for Computational Hydroscience and Engineering, Universit...
متن کاملIdentifying locations from geospatial trajectories
Harnessing the latent knowledge present in geospatial trajectories allows for the potential to revolutionise our understanding of behaviour. This paper discusses one component of such analysis, namely the extraction of significant locations. Specifically, we: (i) present the Gradient-based Visit Extractor (GVE) algorithm capable of extracting periods of low mobility from geospatial data, while ...
متن کاملIdentifying network communities with a high resolution.
Community structure is an important property of complex networks. The automatic discovery of such structure is a fundamental task in many disciplines, including sociology, biology, engineering, and computer science. Recently, several community discovery algorithms have been proposed based on the optimization of a modularity function (Q) . However, the problem of modularity optimization is NP-ha...
