3. 17. Even Flow - Water coordination efficiency & Hydropower production under outflow regulation

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Nationalekonomi

   Author : Johan Gustavsson; [2016]
   Keywords : Stackelberg competition; collusion; water framework directive; water resource management; energy demand;

   Abstract : This thesis sets out to investigate the impact of the European Union’s water framework directive on water coordination efficiency in the hydropower market, and whether water coordination inefficiency might offset the benefits of market competition. I implement a dynamic market model examining Stackelberg competition and a monopoly/collusion market type with regards to reservoir and production capacities and the impact of upstream production plans on downstream production possibilities.

5. 19. Operation dependent costs of non-optimal hydropower production : Effects on the operational pattern of the Small Lule River

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Elektricitetslära

   Author : Joel Lännevall; [2016]
   Keywords : Operation depended cost; wear cost; flexible generation; Hotshot; profit optimisation; hydropower planning; short-term production planning; Slitagekostnad; flexibel kraft; korttids produktionsplanering; vattenkraftplanering; vinstmaximering; balanskraft;

   Abstract : In the present electrical market there is an increasing penetration of intermittent energy sources. Several studies have examined its effect on the planning of hydropower operation and the conclusion is that an increasing intermittent production is likely to result in a more variable hydropower operation, utilising a wider span of operational set points.

6. 20. River Basin Management Guidelines for Water Management in Uganda: Comparison with EU case studies

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

   Author : Peter Okello; [2016]
   Keywords : EU water notes; International conferences; Water Framework Directive; Uganda; National Water Policy; Integrated water resources management.; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : This research is based on the hypothesis that the EU water legislation establish river basin management rules which are based on better scientific knowledge and available technologies than the existing national policy and legal framework supporting water management in Uganda. It is however acknowledged that the requirements of the existing EU water policies are hardly often directly applied to the situations of a developing country such as Uganda, but that they provide lessons that are useful when preparing agreements and policies in these countries.
