TRENDS IN HYDROPOWER

Journal of Energy : Energija, 2021
With a global focus on reducing carbon dioxide emissions, hydro power has come to the fore as an effective means of balancing other forms of electricity production from renewable sources (wind, photovoltaics and biomass). The role of hydropower in the modern mix of energy has led to favorable climatic conditions for development in the ...
