Hydropower (HP) is a key source of renewable energy, but also poses significant environmental challenges, including habitat fragmentation, hydropeaking and perturbations flow sediment regime. This study analyzed how Italian companies managing HP plants, registered to the European Eco-Management Audit Scheme (EMAS) in 2022, evaluated their sustainability publicly disclosed related data. The anal...

This paper proposes a simulation modeling method for the electrical switching system of hydropower station, which is a sub-topic for Hydropower Station Simulation Training System. The graphics model of commonly used electrical switch equipment is developed with a certain software [1]. As vast and different types of Hydropower station circuit breakers and associated grounding switches, and each ...

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...

Design of policies within the integrated water resources management (IWRM) paradigm demands to take into account multiple objectives such as flood protection, water supply for hydropower generation, irrigation and urban use, imposition of minimum environmental flows, etc.. Finding efficient water management policies is a demanding task and Stochastic Dynamic Programming (SDP) can provide an eff...

The U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) must balance environmental protection of riverine resources with the nation's growing demand for power production every time ii issues a hydroelectric license. This paper models the bureaucratic agency's decision-making process in issuing these licenses. Data on nearly 500 hydropower licenses issued from 1983 to 2005 are utilized. It is disco...

introduction: lack of water and deterioration in the quality of soil and water resources are considered to be the prime cause of reduced crop yield in arid and semi-arid regions ‘more crop per drop’ by trickle irrigation, deficit irrigation, and uncommon water are the best strategies for mitigating water crises. different irrigation management strategies are needed to increase production in dif...

abstract some issues such as dehydration, local and chronological disproportion of rainfall, low productivity of water in agricultural sector, increasing demand for agricultural products due to increase in population participate with doughtiness are the most challenges of agricultural water. these factors caused water to be as one of the important and scarce inputs is agricultural products. the...
