An important conclusion from the literature on hydropower is that if there are no other constraints than the available … water reservoirs for a year, and operating costs are ignored, the competitive (and socially optimal) outcome is … hydropower being non-concave. This non-concavity can be caused by short-run capacity limits either on exports and imports of …

also in the long-run equilibrium where capacities are endogenous. In such an equilibrium the hydropower monopoly will get a …

The key question in hydropower production is the time pattern of the use of the water in the reservoir. The water used … to produce electricity today can alternatively be used tomorrow. The analysis of the operation of hydropower is therefore … essentially a dynamic one. The paper introduces some basic models for social allocation of stored water over discrete time periods …

Water management has recently become a major concern for many countries. During the last century consumption of water … the rivers often have irregular regimes. In this situation the main aim is to manage and use the water resources for … renewable, sustainable and clean energy. This paper deals with water management for renewable, sustainable and clean energy in …

This study focuses on the water resources development of the Southeastern Anatolia Project (GAP) in Turkey. The … runoff (186 billion m3), respectively. While the Euphrates represents over 19.4% of the national gross hydropower potential … (433 GWh/year), the Tigris correspond to 11.2% of this potential. 20,523 GWh/year of hydropower potential in the GAP is in …

Low electricity prices put economic pressure on hydropower companies. A more flexible water fee design can counteract … developments dominate changes in water fees and that for the profitability of hydropower, electricity prices are more important … this pressure and support hydropower companies during times when market revenues are low. However, this comes at the cost …

Operational management of multiple reservoirs and hydropower plants based on Nam Ngum river basin near Vientiane, Laos …. Analysis of water balance, storage and discharge relationship for each reservoir was carried out using the HEC-ResSim 3 … representative dry, normal and wet years to be input for the simulation. Operational management of available water was optimized for …
