The electricity price arbitrage from the utility grid can be a major source of revenue for energy storage systems. In most countries, the electricity price is tightly regulated by their government statutory authority or energy regulator to which obey the different power utility and distribution...

Water management has recently become a major concern for many countries. During the last century consumption of water and energy has been increased in the world. This trend is anticipated to continue in the decades to come. One of the greatest reasons is the unplanned industrial activities...

This study focuses on the water resources development of the Southeastern Anatolia Project (GAP) in Turkey. The Euphrates and Tigris Rivers, located in the GAP, have the largest flow volume of 16.9% and 11.4% of Turkey’s average annually runoff (186 billion m3), respectively. While the...

This paper develops a model which can be used to minimize the electricity cost of South African farms through the usage of a wind pump with pico hydro generator and a borehole in pumped hydro storage configuration referred to as "hydro aeropower". This model will optimally schedule the...

Operational management of multiple reservoirs and hydropower plants based on Nam Ngum river basin near Vientiane, Laos PDR was investigated for optimal power generation. The system consists of three reservoirs namely Nam Ngum1, 2 and 5. Analysis of water balance, storage and discharge...

Alternative scheme is the most important section in the environmental impact assessment (EIA). And the optimization of alternative schemes are the focus research fields in EIA. This paper define the content of alternatives of basin hydropower planning EIA (HPEIA), including the alternative...

This study aims to identify potential hydropower sites and calculate the theoretical potential hydropower capacity based on watershed modelling of the Mindanao River Basin (MRB) in the Philippines for the sustainable development of a previously unstudied region. The Soil and Water Assessment...

The hydropower stations are one of the most significant sources of renewable energy. In this research, the identification of suitable locations for hydroelectric power stations installation concerning electricity generation capacity has been investigated. Small-scale hydropower can potentially...

A government plan was announced to expand the share of renewable energy to 20 percent by 2030 in Korea and to construct additional pumped hydro storage (PHS) to prepare for the uncertainty of renewable generation. However, due to the distortion of the Korean electricity market, pumped storage...
