Latin America is one of the regions most vulnerable to the effects of climate variability on hydropower generation. Hydropower is the backbone of the Latin-American power system and a key technology for ensuring low-carbon power generation in the region. Despite its importance, our understanding...

Hydropower is considered as a clean energy. However, compared to other renewable sources (like wind and solar), its adverse impacts on society and nature are substantial, and it exists during the construction and operational phase as well. Therefore, there is a need to green the overall...

Pakistan has not fully harnessed the capacity of its vast hydropower potential for electricity generation. It depends on imported and local fossil fuels to fulfill its energy demands, which consume a significant portion of the country's economy. Hydropower can provide an economical, renewable,...

This paper presents ODIN, an open dispatch model for the Nordic power system. We begin by performing a survey of existing models, and conclude that no model which simulates the different price areas in the Nordic power system and is truly open exists. Existing models either lack data to do an...

This paper investigates a possible future business case for green hydrogen production from hydropower. The main research question is to find the trade-offs for a run-of-river hydropower plant owner between the currently prevailing business model of wholesale electricity trading and,...

The hydroelectric power sector has significant standing in the global energy mix, and its intersection with financial development and economic progression has substantial implications for realizing sustainable development. To this end, this study aims to unravel the relationship among...

The understanding of the transboundary impact of Climate Change on hydropower is not well-established in the literature, where few studies take a system perspective to understand the relative roles of different technological solutions for coordinated water and energy management. This study...

Hydropower plants will dominate the Indonesian power sector to achieve the national renewable energy target. Sulawesi, one of the islands in Indonesia, has the largest hydropower potential and is expected to be the most extensive system for developing hydropower plants. Due to the increasing...

Establishing a wind-photovoltaic (PV)-hydro hybrid system is a new method to utilize wind and PV power, but how multi-energy complementation affects the working modes of cascaded hydropower plants (CHP) has not been fully revealed. In this study, a wind-PV-CHP system was considered as an example...

While Afghanistan's power sector is almost completely dependent on fossil fuels, it still cannot meet the rising power demand of this country. Deploying a combination of renewable energy systems with hydrogen production as the excess energy storage mechanism could be a sustainable long-term...
