Chile has defined an energy development policy in which hydropower is important part of the grid. This source not yet been accepted by many people local communities. For future hydroelectric to be more widely accepted, Chilean Ministry Energy developed a methodological framework called Objects Valuation. aimed at identifying main community interests that may condition development. The objective...

Whereas energy transitions have received global governance attention over the few decades, it appears research on this important subject is either new or unclear in terms of direction and quantum changes Ghana. The study was about an analysis phenomenon structural electricity context climate change reality Ghana to inform sustainable policy. used desktop methodology, including retrieving analyz...

As the demand for hydroelectricity progresses worldwide, small hydropower operators are increasingly examining feasibility of using existing infrastructure (e.g., settling basins) in run-of-the-river schemes intermittent power production. Such flexible production causes short-term discharge fluctuations (hydropeaking) downstream reaches with potential adverse effects sensitive fauna and flora a...

The settler colonial perspective has until recently gained modest attention from scholars analysing the relations between Swedish state and Indigenous Sámi people throughout history. This article explores dynamics of colonialism in state’s relation to through expansion hydropower. I argue that hydropower invasion beginning 1910s reinforced colonialism, ultimately shown company town Porjus. indu...

In today's society, determining living standards requires taking into account life expectancy. Thus, a key concern for policymakers is the analysis of expectancy characteristics. The evaluated using panel quantile regression model across many ranges, including 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, and 0.95. From 2000 through 2018, study examines effects economic progress, energy us...

This is Part II of two papers evaluating the feasibility of providing all energy for all purposes (electric power, transportation, and heating/cooling), everywhere in the world, from wind, water, and the sun (WWS). In Part I, we described the prominent renewable energy plans that have been proposed and discussed the characteristics of WWS energy systems, the global demand for and availability o...

Maintenance of power generators is essential for reliable and efficient electricity production. Because under maintenance are typically inactive, optimal planning activities must consider the impact outages on system operation. However, in hydropower systems finding a minimum cost schedule challenging optimization problem due to uncertainty water inflows nonlinearity hydroelectricity Motivated ...

Biological recording in Britain has increased accessibility and popularity due to recent technological advances. However, remote locations may still be under-recorded, particularly for aquatic plants taxonomically challenging groups. We describe a set of notable botanical discoveries made 2021 at Corrour the Scottish Highlands (v.c.97 Westerness), including Baldellia repens, Illecebrum verticil...

Managers of large river basins face conflicting demands for water resources such as wildlife habitat, water supply, wastewater assimilative capacity, flood control, hydroelectricity, and recreation. The Savannah River Basin, for example, has experienced three major droughts since 2000 that resulted in record low water levels in its reservoirs, impacting dependent economies for years. The Savann...
