Geological Analisys. Hydroelectric Power Plants, Lecture notes of the International Course Hydroelectric Power Plants

open access: yes, 1995
The construction of hydroelectric power plants is always done using geological information and frequently the whole project is conditioned by the geological nature and characteristics of the site. The importance of geology in the planning, construction and operation of hydroelectric power plants will be presented and discussed.

Performance assessment of hydroelectric power plants

open access: yes, 2012
This study develops a methodology to provide insights regarding the performance of the hydroelectric power plants of a European player in the energy sector. In today’s energy generation programs, hydroelectric power plays an important role as it is based on a clean renewable energy source and capable of fulfilling a significant portion of the overall ...

Detecting Land Use Change Impacts on Streamflow by Combining Field Data and Water Balance Modelling

open access: yesJAWRA Journal of the American Water Resources Association, Volume 62, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Over the last half‐century, land use changes, including deforestation, urban sprawl, and open‐pit surface mining, have accelerated across the Susurluk Basin in northwestern Türkiye. This study analysed how land use changes, damming and mining activities affected basin hydrology using empirical and analytical methods and the process‐based Water

On the Economics of Ramping Rate Restrictions at Hydro Power Plants: Balancing Profitability and Environmental Costs [PDF]

open access: yes
This paper examines the impact of ramping rate restrictions imposed on hydro operations to protect aquatic ecosystems. A dynamic optimization model of the profit maximizing decisions of a hydro operator is solved for various restrictions on water flow ...

Political Cycles, Electricity Policy, and Mexico's Economy

open access: yesLatin American Policy, Volume 17, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Electricity reform in Mexico should stimulate economic growth, improve energy efficiency, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This article evaluates the successes and failures of reform and draws lessons across political cycles by analyzing changes in political dynamics—often tied to policy reversals—and the legal framework during the pro ...

Capturing State‐of‐Charge‐Dependent Efficiency in Battery Energy Storage Systems: A Bernoulli Model Approach

open access: yesBattery Energy, Volume 5, Issue 3, May 2026.
Conventional battery energy storage system models assume constant efficiencies, overlooking key physical limitations. This work introduces an analytical model with realistic state‐of‐charge (SOC)‐dependent efficiencies and charge acceptance, predicting that system operation concentrates in intermediate SOC ranges—a critical, overlooked behaviour ...
