The potential for small scale hydropower development in the US
Energy Policy, 2009In an earlier paper (Kosnik, 2008), the potential for small scale hydropower to contribute to US renewable energy supplies, as well as reduce current carbon emissions, was investigated. It was discovered that thousands of viable sites capable of producing significant amounts of hydroelectric power were available throughout the United States.

Quanitification of sustainable hydropower potential in the Upper Indus basin
2021<p>Considering the lack of a comprehensive assessement of hydropower potential in the Upper Indus basin, we developed and implemented a systematic framework to explore four different classes of hydropower potential. Our framework uses high-resolution discharge generated by a coupled cryosphere-hydrology model as the bio-physical boundary ...

Estimation of Small-Scale Hydropower Potential
Journal of the Water Resources Planning and Management Division, 1982A statistical method of determining installed capacity and energy yield of potential small-scale hydropower sites is explored. Thirty watersheds with existing reservoirs were selected for this study from several hydrologic regions. A hydropower estimation model is developed. It is shown that by relating hydropower potential to watershed characteristics

The Utilization of the Hydropower Potential of Rivers in Montenegro
2019Previous hydrological researches of the surface watercourse system in Montenegro imply quite high watercourse water capacity compared to relatively small territory of Montenegro. This paper systematizes theoretical and remaining technically feasible hydropower potential of the major surface watercourses and their tributaries, in Montenegro.

Potential of Hydropower in Mauritius: Myth or Reality?
Energy Sources, Part A: Recovery, Utilization, and Environmental Effects, 2013This article explores the potential of hydropower, including small-scale units, in the context of the Small Independent Power Producers project proposed by the Government of Mauritius. Its dependency on rainfall is investigated. The revamping of existing hydropower facilities to attain higher efficiency is also analyzed.
