Alpine hydropower plants renewal : synergies between flexible production and hydropeaking mitigation
Hydropeaking is the water flow or level variations in rivers caused by hydropower exploitation. This phenomenon have negatives impacts on fauna and flora. Mitigation measures can lead to producing less and reduce production at the times that are most economically attractive. In a context where renewable energy production wishes to be increased and where operators wish to maintain their revenues, these measures are not satisfactory. This work aims to propose mitigation solution which keep production and flexibility constant or even increase them.
