Risk Assessment of Use of the Dnieper Cascade Hydropower Plants
In this article we wish to evaluate efficiency of use of Dnieper cascade hydropower plants on the basis of common approaches to environmental management. We evaluate the efficiency of use the flooded areas of the hydropower station in agriculture. Assessment of the man-made risks includes evaluation of static (regular maintenance of dams) and stochastic (probability of artificial tsunami) compo...
متن کاملAgriculture and Hydropower Generation
Extended Abstract The study La Economía del Cambio Climático en Chile (Economy of Climate Change in Chile) (CEPAL, 2009) shows the impacts of Climate Change in Chile using the results from the GCM model HadCM3, with two GHG scenarios (A2 and B2). As projected in these scenarios, for the near future period it is expected a raise in temperature in Central and South Chile in the order of 1-2°C and...
متن کاملEvaluation of two hydropower plants in Brazil: using emergy for exploring regional possibilities
Two Brazilian hydropower plants (Jupi a and Porto Primavera) located in the same watershed were explored in terms of the global resources needed to support these enterprises using a donor-side approach. Emergy theory and methods although commonly used by environmental scientists, may seem difficult to interpret for policy and decision-makers. Because of this, the possibility of transforming eme...
متن کاملOptimal Co-ordinated Control of Hydropower Plants
River hydropower plants must accomplish several tasks. They have to generate electric energy, guarantee the navigation and reduce the extent of a flood if possible. If there is a cascade of hydropower stations in a river, then it is not possible to solve these tasks with a decentralized control strategy optimally. One is faced with a multiple criteria optimization problem. This contribution pre...
متن کاملElectrification using Decentralized Micro Hydropower Plants in North-eastern Afghanistan
Electricity supply database from the Afghan national authority for electricity supply shows that about only 20% of the population in Afghanistan had access to grid electricity by 2010. The national utility has a total capacity of about 842 MW, out of which about 696 MW was operational. Additionally, many decentralized units (Micro Hydropower (MHP) plants, diesel generators and solar home system...
