Hydroelectric Power

A printed edition is available here.
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hydropower is an inexhaustible, renewable, and clean energy. Hydropower technology is a science and technology that converts water energy into electrical energy, including technical and economic issues on engineering construction and production operation. In the modern power system, the proportion of hydropower generation is growing bigger and bigger, with an increasing number of scholars studying hydropower generation technology. Hydropower technology involves many fields, such as power plant site selection, hydrological forecasting, and hydropower dispatching, and it requires expertise in geology, machinery, and power systems. The purpose of this Special Issue is to attract the latest progress in the field of global hydropower planning and operation management and to integrate scholars in various fields, such as hydrology, electromechanical, and electric power to discuss the current challenges faced by hydropower. We aim to provide a venue for discussion around the development of clean energy technology in the world. The topics of interest for publication include but are not limited to:
- Hydrological processes;
- Hydropower dispatching;
- Hydroelectric power plant site selection;
- Hydrogenerators;
- Electricity market and hydropower station management.
