Extent, characteristics and policy applications of Key Biodiversity Areas

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A global standard for the identification of Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) was published 10 years ago to provide a unified set of criteria for identifying ‘sites of significance for the global persistence of biodiversity’. We review the initiative's origins, the KBA identification process, characteristics of the current network, threats, policy

Capacity planning of hydro-wind-solar hybrid power systems considering hydropower forbidden zones

Global Energy Interconnection
In the capacity planning of hydro-wind-solar power systems (CPHPS), it is crucial to use flexible hydropower to complement the variable wind-solar power. Hydropower units must be operated such that they avoid specific restricted operation zones, that is,
