The optimization of dam operations to transform them into multi-objective facilities constitutes a challenge for both hydrology, hydrogeology, and hydropower generation. However, the use of the optimal algorithm for such transformation is critically impo...

Hydroelectric power generation is an important clean energy source, and the stability of water turbine operation determines the quality of hydro energy utilization. For hydro turbines, the layout direction of the draft tube is often only considered from ...

The increasing presence of non-programmable renewable energy plants increases the intermittency of the electricity supply and thus threatens the adequacy of a power system. Hydropower can solve this problem due to its flexibility. This paper applies stat...

The increasing penetration of non-programmable renewable energy sources (RES) is enforcing the need for accurate power production forecasts. In the category of hydroelectric plants, Run of the River (RoR) plants belong to the class of non-programmable RE...

Already existing man-made infrastructures that create water flow and unused pressure are interesting energy sources to which micro-hydropower plants can be applied. Apart from water supply systems (WSSs), which are widely described in the literature, sig...

Kenya?s water abstraction must meet the projected growth in municipal and irrigation demand by the end of 2030 in order to achieve the country?s industrial and economic development plan. The Masinga dam, on the Tana River, is the key to meeting this goal...
