Classifying Dams for Environmental Flow Implementation in China

Systematic Screening of Dams for Environmental Flow Assessment and Implementation

Environmental flow protections are crucial to the conservation of freshwater biodiversity in dam-regulated river systems. Nevertheless, the implementation of environmental flows has lagged far behind the pace of river ecosystem alteration. The vast number of dams now in operation and the substantial resources required to modify their operations suggest that a systematic approach is needed to id...

development and implementation of an optimized control strategy for induction machine in an electric vehicle

in the area of automotive engineering there is a tendency to more electrification of power train. in this work control of an induction machine for the application of electric vehicle is investigated. through the changing operating point of the machine, adapting the rotor magnetization current seems to be useful to increase the machines efficiency. in the literature there are many approaches wh...

Managing the environmental impact of dams

In its final report, published in November 2000, the World Commission on Dams concluded that the benefits derived from large dams have made a significant contribution to human development. However, in many cases the environmental and social costs have been unnecessary and, by present standards, unacceptable. Often negative impacts arise as a consequence of lack of foresight and because dams are...

Environmental Risk Assessment System for Phosphogypsum Tailing Dams

This paper may be of particular interest to the readers as it provides a new environmental risk assessment system for phosphogypsum tailing dams. In this paper, we studied the phosphogypsum tailing dams which include characteristics of the pollution source, environmental risk characteristics and evaluation requirements to identify the applicable environmental risk assessment methods. Two analyt...
