As demand for electricity increases, investments into new generation capacity from renewable and nonrenewable sources should include assessment of global (climate) change consequences not just of the operational phase of the power plants but construction effects as well. In this paper, the global warming effect (GWE) associated with construction and operation of comparable hydroelectric, wind, ...

This work presents a study of the formation cooling and steam fogs on Yenisei River during 2020. The above types resulted from changes in hydrothermal regime downstream Krasnoyarsk hydroelectric power station after its construction it is also associated with combination weather conditions water temperature river. Advective form summer when moist air cools over surface cold moving water. winter,...

Integrated waterworks on rivers have a great impact the state of natural waterways. With commissioning hydroelectric facilities and reservoirs that regulate river flow, new hydrological channel regime is created; intensity nature processes change. The regulation runoff by hydropower systems introduces changes in travel navigation conditions question, especially lower pools. In this paper, an as...

⎯ This paper presents the identification of a hydroelectric power turbine dynamics. Knowledge of power plant behaviour is fundamental to obtain reliable and efficient operation of power systems. Starting from models already proposed, some modifications are suggested in order to adjust real plant response, recorded from different conditions and situations, to model behaviour.

Climate change has a large impact on water resources and thus on hydropower. Hydroelectric power generation is closely linked to the regional hydrological situation of a watershed and reacts sensitively to changes in water quantity and seasonality. The development of hydroelectric power generation in the Upper Danube basin was modelled for two future decades, namely 2021–2030 and 2051–2060, usi...

The renewable energy emerged as a solution to the environmental problems caused by the conventional sources of energy. Small hydropower (SHP) is claimed to cause negligible effects on the ecosystem, although some environmental values are threatened and maintenance of an adequate water quality should be ensured. This work provides a characterization of the water quality status in a river stretch...
