hydropower power generation is one of the most important sources of renewable energies. small hydropower plants are becoming the most popular option of hydropower plants, which can be applied in small and remote places, and are able to produce cheap, clean and reliable electricity. in iran and most developing countries, electricity transmission to remote regions for reasons such as high transmi...

In recent years, the global warming and efficient usage of energy sources are become most attractive issues. Furthermore, renewable energy technologies play an important role in addressing global energy and environmental challenges. Among the renewable energy technologies, hydropower is considered to be the most advanced and mature, providing some level of electricity generation in more than 16...

Reservoirs with multifunctional purposes are the most widely used as sources of water for irrigation. In China, a large number irrigation systems have been created using reservoirs flood prevention, irrigation, industrial and agricultural supply. Belarus, Soligorsk, Lyuban, Petrovich, Pogost other The useful (regulating) volume reservoir consists separate components calculated each consumer in ...

This research applies new computing methods to optimize the operation of a typical hydrothermal system for one day. The consists thermal power plant (TPP) and pumped storage hydropower (PSHP). main target is determine amount water that must be discharged or back reservoir reduce total electricity production cost (TEPC) TTP. volumes in at beginning end points schedule same. Three meta-heuristic ...

The Aure Valley in the French Pyrenees. This study applies a bottom-up framework for assessing water management vulnerability terms of hydropower production, environmental regulations, and reservoir storage by integrating sensitivity, metrics with participation stakeholders, exposure system. hydrological model GR6J-CEMANEIGE is implemented to simulate region. sensitivity climate change investig...

The Federal Government of Brazil has ambitious plans to build a system of 58 additional hydroelectric dams in the Brazilian Amazon, with Hundreds of additional dams planned for other countries in the watershed. Although hydropower is often billed as clean energy, we argue that the environmental impacts of this project are likely to be large, and will result in substantial loss of biodiversity, ...

Sustainable development is a shared responsibility. Accelerating sustainability of water–energy–people nexus and building a common awareness of issues pertaining to sustainable development are essential for any sort of success in this direction. Hydropower has been a useful sustainable energy for development, yet highly controversial. This paper reviews the overall situation of hydropower devel...

Today, with the great development of science and technology, it seems to be more and more important to develop renewable energy sources. In this thesis, I would like to introduce something about Chinese water resources. The renewable energy sources can generate electricity. Furthermore, hydropower is the most often used energy in the world. Hydropower develops quickly in recent years in China a...

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...
