Abstract:

Purpose One of the main strategic targets in the national power development plan of Vietnam is to give priority to hydropower. However, there is evidence that the most “at risk” in Vietnamese society have, to date, broadly failed to benefit from hydropower development but rather have become more vulnerable. This paper aims to broaden the perspective of decision makers (government agencies, investors and banks) in the hydropower industry regarding the environmental and social impacts of unrestrained development and the critical need to not only reduce disaster risk for communities but also prov

Hydropower resource is one of the renewable energy sources. With the increasing Chinese economy, people are paying much more attention to sustainable development. The increasing hydropower load is the basis of the development of power industry. Due to the characteristics of electrical energy, predicting the hydropower accurately is a potentially beneficial way to plan hydropower reasonably. This paper presents a neural network method to predict hydropower generation whose data is influenced by several factors such as social economic, population and climate.

Big dams stopped being built in developed nations, because the best sites for dams were already developed and environmental and social concerns made the costs unacceptable.

Abstract:

The hydropower potential of natural productive forces has been explored in anticipation of a new technological order with priorities for the development of natural-like technologies and renewable energy sources. This is done to select an adequate energy paradigm for the development of the remote northern territories and the shelf. The analysis of the hydropower industry of the Kola Peninsula shows its strengths and weaknesses in this aspect. The vectors of possible improvement of the used and promising innovations, spatial and territorial development paradigms, tools for locating the economy,

Abstract:

A standardized range system based on carefully selected multi-criteria is proposed in this work to assess the feasibility of hydropower implementation. A thought process has been developed as a simple-to-use and easy-to-understand methodology. Today, due to the broad concern for the natural environment, the use of renewable energy sources has become globally popular. Subsequently, such solutions as the application of renewable energy for electricity generation are often considered the most environmentally friendly installations. Unfortunately, no methodology to assess the possibility of hydrop

Abstract:

In upcoming years, water demand is expected to boost worldwide, and with that, wastewater generation and the required energy for treatment. Provided that efficiency measures should be implemented at first instance, developments of renewable energy technologies are needed to improve sustainability at wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Based on theoretical analyses of literature data, this article presents a novel perspective of the role that hydropower could play in that energy framework. This research applied a new approach compared to previous studies, considering the introduction of sustai

Abstract:

Evaluating the sustainable operation of community-owned and community-operated renewable energy projects is complex. The development of a project often depends on the actions of diverse stakeholders, including the government, industry and communities. Throughout the project cycle, these interrelated actions impact the sustainability of the project. In this paper, the typical project cycle of a micro-hydropower plant in Nepal is used to demonstrate that key events throughout the project cycle affect a plant’s ability to operate sustainably. Through a critical analysis of the available literatur

Abstract:

Large-scale corporate projects, particularly those in extractive industries or hydropower development, have a history from early in the twentieth century of creating negative environmental, social, and health impacts on communities proximal to their operations. In many instances, especially for hydropower projects, the forced resettlement of entire communities was a feature in which local cultures and core human rights were severely impacted. These projects triggered an activist opposition that progressively expanded and became influential at both the host community level and with multilateral

ABSTRACT The study of hydropower potential focuses on hydropower development in Sumatra (4,408 MW), Java (4,595 MW), and Sulawesi (3,240 MW) is in line with the actual development of the hydropower industry. These three islands cover 95% of the viable hydropower potential. Meanwhile, the potential of PLTMH is 770 MW and about 30% has been developed. Most of the Microhydro (<1 MW) and Mini hydro (1-10 MW) are targeting rural electrification with the greatest potential in Papua and Sumatra. Therefore, in the concept of optimizing water use and aligning Water Food Energy Nexus, apart fro

Abstract:

Engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) has been applied in China’s hydropower projects for its value-added advantages compared with traditional project delivery systems in theory. However, the actual performance of large EPC hydropower projects has been challenged by the complexity of the stakeholders’ interest demands and conflicts. The increasing use of target cost contracts (TCC) in the construction industry has provided a pain/gain share mechanism for the owners to incentivize contractors to complete projects within cost budgets. The added-value sharing ratio is the core element
