چکیده
Abstract Starting from an electricity generation renewable sources (RESE) of 74 % today (mainly by domestic hydropower), the Austrian climate and energy policy aims not less than 100 2030. The additional wind power photovoltaics will increase requirement for reasonable seasonal flexibility. Additional highly cost efficient functional units flexible hydropower assets play a key role to meet future system needs in all time frames safeguard security supply. basic results this study are useful orientation countries with high RESE penetration targets.

Hydropower Relicensing and Climate Change
Hydropower represents approximately 20% of the world’s energy supply, is viewed as both vulnerable to global climate warming and an asset to reduce climate-altering emissions, and is increasingly the target of improved regulation to meet multiple ecosystem service benefits. It is within this context that the recent decision by the United States Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to reject stu...
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 کاملAdvanced Process Monitoring Techniques for Safeguarding Reprocessing Facilities
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has established international safeguards standards for fissionable material at spent fuel reprocessing plants to ensure that significant quantities of weapons-useable nuclear material are not diverted from these facilities. For large throughput nuclear facilities, it is difficult to satisfy the IAEA safeguards accountancy goal for detection of abrup...
متن کاملSome Aspects of Ice-Hydropower Interaction in a Changing Climate
Ice formation and related processes in rivers and lakes/reservoirs influence the operation of hydropower plants in cold regions. It is a matter of interest to the scientific community and hydropower operators alike how existing ice effects and problems will manifest themselves in a future changed climate. In this paper, we use different modeling results to investigate future freshwater ice cond...
متن کاملEstimated impacts of climate warming on California’s high-elevation hydropower
California’s hydropower system is composed of high and low elevation power plants. There are more than 150 high-elevation power plants, at elevations above 1,000 feet (300 m). Most have modest reservoir storage capacities, but supply roughly 74% of California’s in-state hydropower. The expected shift of runoff peak from spring to winter due to climate warming, resulting in snowpack reduction an...
