GIS-Based Small-Scale Hydropower Resources Assessment in Kurdistan - Iran
The industry development and the life standards increment have caused the human feels more easement, but it also has caused an increase of energy consumption, environmental pollution and the large volume of greenhouse gases emission. Those changes make the researchers to find out the alternative energy sources such as renewable energies. The most prominent and the oldest source of clean and re...
متن کاملInvestment timing and optimal capacity choice for small hydropower projects
This paper presents a method for assessing small hydropower projects that are subject to uncertain electricity prices. We present a real options-based method with continuous scaling, and we find that there is a unique price limit for initiating the project. If the current electricity price is below this limit it is never optimal to invest, but above this limit investment is made according to th...
متن کاملThe potential for small scale hydropower development in the US
In an earlier paper (Kosnik, 2008), the potential for small scale hydropower to contribute to US renewable energy supplies, as well as reduce current carbon emissions, was investigated. It was discovered that thousands of viable sites capable of producing significant amounts of hydroelectric power were available throughout the United States. The primary objective of this paper is to determine t...

متن کاملReservoir Operation Applied to Hydropower Systems
Currently, studies on hydropower systems operations primarily focus on multiple uses of water, i.e., water resources exploitation and control systems to satisfy human needs and demands connected to economic and social activities. Focuses include power generation, urban and industrial water supply, irrigation, navigation, leisure and recreation-related uses, flood control and water pollution con...
