1. 21. The challenges and Opportunities of the Grand Renaissance Dam for sustainable Energy - Water - Food - Ecosystem services Nexus in Ethiopia.

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Bisrat Woldemichael Handiso; [2018]
   Keywords : Sustainable development; Hydropower plant; Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam; Natural Resource Management; Energy; Water; Food; Ecosystem services; Environment; Climate Change; Ethiopia;

   Abstract : Ethiopia has been challenged by multidimensional poverty. However, it has the potential to minimize the threat through an integrated multipurpose development process. In this regard, hydropower has a significant role to reduce energy poverty and enhance the multipurpose use of natural resources efficiency. READ MORE

3. 22. The power of hydrology in the Omo-Gibe River Basin : Gibe III and flood retreat agriculture on the river omo

   University essay from Lunds universitet/LUCSUS

   Author : Benjamin Merrick; [2018]
   Keywords : biosphere integrity; climate change; difference; hydrology; sustainability science; transicones; Social Sciences;

   Abstract : My work discusses how Gibe III is a Sustainable Development but is not sustainable. Along the river Omo are tribes and, unlike Gibe III which utilizes instrumental rationality to harness the flow of the River Omo for the production of hydroelectricity, they plant crops after the flow from the hydrological cycle floods the riverbanks with water and nutrients.

4. 23. Identifying Synergies and Trade-offs between the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam and the Sustainable Development Goals

   University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

   Author : Sandra Thengius; Olivia Preston; [2018]
   Keywords : Sustainable Development Goals; Hydroelectric power; Grand Ethiopian Renaissance dam; Synergies; Trade-offs; Globala Målen; Vattenkraft; Renässansdammen; Synergier; Målkonflikter;

   Abstract : The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) is a large hydropower project currently under construction in Ethiopia. Supposedly it will benefit the people of Ethiopia through an increased access to electricity, but it is also associated with complex political relations between Ethiopia and the neighbouring countries Egypt and Sudan.

5. 24. Solar photovoltaic potential to complement hydropower in Ecuador : a GIS-based framework of analysis

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Jose Jara Alvear; [2018]
   Keywords : photovoltaic; hydropower; complementarity; GIS; Ecuador; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : In Ecuador, more than 85% of electricity production relies on hydropower and consequently the supply of electricity relies on water availability. During the dry season (October-March) hydropower capacity could diminish up to one-third of its installed capacity or more under a severe drought causing a substantial augmentation of thermoelectric power output to offset the lack of hydropower to cover electricity demand, and consequently increasing the overall operational cost and emission of CO2 of the power system.

6. 25. Grid impact study of frequency regulation with EVs

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Industriell elektroteknik och automation

   Author : Emma Blomgren; [2018]
   Keywords : Electric vehicles EVs ; grid impact; ancillary services; frequency regulation; FCR-N; vehicle-to-grid V2G ; voltage; reactive power; load profile; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The ongoing grid paradigm shift has resulted in synchronous generators currently being phased out. As the generators have been providing ancillary services, such as frequency control regulation, this means that new technologies to perform ancillary services need to be developed and evaluated.
