Quantifying climate change impacts on hydropower generation and implications on electric grid greenhouse gas emissions and operation
Here we translate the impacts of climate change on hydropower generation, and discuss implications on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and operation in California. We integrate a model of major surfacewater reservoirs with an electric grid dispatch model, and perturb it by projected runoff based on representative concentration pathways (RCP4.5 and RCP8.5). Results show that climate change and var...
متن کاملAssessing Climate Change Impacts on Global Hydropower
Currently, hydropower accounts for close to 16% of the world’s total power supply and is the world’s most dominant (86%) source of renewable electrical energy. The key resource for hydropower generation is runoff, which is dependent on precipitation. The future global climate is uncertain and thus poses some risk for the hydropower generation sector. The crucial question and challenge then is w...

متن کاملEffects of Greenhouse Gas Mitigation on Drought Impacts in the United States
The authors present a method for analyzing the economic benefits to the United States resulting from changes in drought frequency and severity due to global greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation. The method begins by constructing reduced-formmodels of the effect of drought on agriculture and reservoir recreation in the contiguous United States. These relationships are then applied to drought projecti...
