1. 1. An Environmental and Health Benefit and Cost analysis of Renewable Energy in Nigeria : A comparison between the investment in solar energy plant and hydropower plant

   University essay from Högskolan Dalarna/Institutionen för kultur och samhälle

   Author : Ruth Ashibuogwu; [2024]
   Keywords : Environment; Health; Solar Energy and Hydropower;

   Abstract : This study analyses the environmental and health benefits associated with the use of renewable energy sources, focusing on the costs and savings involved. The research employs a comprehensive cost-benefit analysis approach, comparing the costs associated with generating energy from a 10 megawatts solar energy power plant versus a 10 megawatt hydropower plant.

3. 2. Dynamic minimum flows in the bypass reach of Juktån : A post-implementation evaluation of the effects on riparian vegetation

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

   Author : Walter Gezelius Gezelius; [2024]
   Keywords : Restoration; Environmental flows; riparian vegetation;

   Abstract : The purpose of the paper was to evaluate the effects of the restoration efforts in Juktån on the plant species richness and composition, vegetation zonation and soil composition. The restoration involved implementation of a dynamic flow, in addition to hydro-geomorphological alterations. READ MORE

4. 3. Unlocking the Potential of Solar-Hydro Hybrid Solutions: Feasibility and Economic Analysis

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Industriell elektroteknik och automation

   Author : Måns Rosberg; [2023]
   Keywords : Hydropower; Solarpower; Hybrid power production; Solar-hydro hybrid power; Reservoir storage; Energy storage; Pumped hydro power; Floating PV; PV; Photovoltaics; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Hybrid solutions that combine multiple renewable energy sources, such as solar power and hydro power, are gaining popularity as a means of meeting the growing energy demands while minimising environmental impacts, but also as an opportunity of connecting solar power plants to the grid in areas where this might not be possible unless large investments are made. This master thesis aims to evaluate the feasibility and economic viability of integrating solar panels with an existing grid connection point at a hydro power plant, along with the introduction of an energy storage solution using a hydro power plant reservoir.

5. 4. Sustainable Production Patterns for Hydropower Units

   University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för fysik och elektroteknik (IFE)

   Author : Hannington Kayanja; [2023]
   Keywords : Automatic control; Hydropower modelling; PD-controller; Sustainable power production; Water level control.;

   Abstract : Globally, a significant portion of energy comes from hydropower. However, harnessing hydro energy interrupts the natural state of river flows, thus affecting the ecological processes of the surrounding communities. READ MORE

6. 5. The climate impact of fishways : A life cycle assessment of Blyberg’s and Spjutmo’s up- and downstream fishways

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Industriell miljöteknik

   Author : Ellen Lundin; Lovisa Liljenberg; [2023]
   Keywords : LCA; life cycle analysis; life cycle assessment; fishways; fish; fish migration; climate impact; technical fishways; co2 equivalents; co2 eq; hydro power; HPP; Sweden; construction; concrete; reinforcement steel;

   Abstract : The Swedish national plan for reapproval of hydropower describes that hydropower plants (HPPs) are required to be reassessed to ensure that modern environmental conditions are set for the permits. Since dams and HPPs create barriers for migrating fish and consequently disfavor biological diversity, one consequence of the national plan is that fishways are being constructed. READ MORE
