The Brazilian electricity market : small hydropower strategic planning
… than 70% of its installed capacity coming from hydropower puts Brazil in a great position in terms of reduced environmental impact on electricity generation. However, it also creates a large supply dependency on weather, water flows and reservoirs. In the last 2-3 years, the country has been …

Evaluation of technology specific adoption dynamics of solar, small hydropower and biomass in Nigeria's energy transition plan.
… investigate perceptions of solar photovoltaic, small hydropower, and biomass-to-energy systems. In addition to the core constructs of perceived usefulness (PU) and perceived ease of use (PEOU), the model incorporates affordability, social benefit (SB), and environmental awareness (EA) to reflect …

Can run-of-river hydropower meet the needs of the north? A case analysis of the Albany River watershed
… in northern Ontario to provide run-of-river hydropower (RHP) and determines the feasibility of supplying 100% of a remote community’s needs with local hydropower. This research expands the knowledge of river energy potential and the use of small-scale RHP in northern Ontario, Canada to …

Hydropeaking in Alpine rivers: an ecosystem services approach
… services. The release of water from storage hydropower plants generates rapid flow and stage fluctuations (hydropeaking) in the receiving water bodies at a variety of sub-daily time-scales. In this thesis, we describe an approach to quantify such variations, which is easy to apply, requires …

Control de minicentrales hidroeléctricas fluyentes : modelado y estabilidad
… Abstract The implementation of hydroelectric small hydropower plants is experiencing a major expansion in the last years. In developed countries, small hydropower plants enable the production of energy in those locations where a great power station would not be feasible. Moreover, the …

Financial Aspects of Stand-alone Solar Power Systems in Sub-Saharan Africa
… Other renewable energy technologies such as small hydropower and small wind home systems also have high initial costs and are limited to implementation under specific geographic conditions. The rise in popularity of solar PV systems has provided a viable option for many rural residents. …

Energy generation in the canal irrigation network in India : a case for integrated spatial planning
… for energy generation on canals include small hydropower (that uses canal falls) and, more recently, canal-top solar (mounted solar panels above the canal surface). The potential for hydrokinetic generation in irrigation canals, which uses the energy captured from flowing water, has not …

Multicriteria Decision Method for Renewable Energy Production: Siting Solar, Wind and SHP Plants in Zimbabwe
… suitability criteria for siting wind, solar and small hydro power plants. Vector and raster data sets corresponding to the criteria were gathered and a geodatabase was constructed. The process of identifying suitable areas involved the transformation of criteria values, generation of …

Low-head hydropower as a reserve power source for wind power
… study proposes an alternative hypothesis: that hydropower turbines installed at low-head dams can provide similar reserve power generation to support wind, thereby avoiding the externalities associated with fossil-fuel plants and conventional hydropower. Low-head dams, common across the United …

Transient stability assessment of hybrid distributed generation using computational intelligence approaches
… sources such as solar PV, wind turbine and small hydro power is that the system is more vulnerable to instabilities compared to single renewable energy source DG. This is because of the intermittent nature of the renewable energy sources and the complex interaction between the DGs and the …
