About Hydropower

Aims

Hydropower (ISSN 3042-8432) is an international, open-access journal dedicated to advancing research and innovation in hydropower technology. We aim to serve as a premier platform for interdisciplinary research by publishing high-quality original research articles, reviews, and technical communications that provide novel scientific or engineering contributions to all phases of hydropower development (from planning to refurbishment, upgrading, or decommissioning). Theoretical, numerical, and experimental research, AI-driven methodologies, and case studies are all welcome. There is no restriction on the maximum length of papers published in this journal.
