  1. 16. Effectiveness of a fish-guiding device for downstream migrating smolts of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) in the River Piteälven,northern Sweden

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

    Author : Linda Vikström; [2016]
    Keywords : salmon smolt; spill gate passage; turbine-mortality; fish way; guidance structure;

    Abstract : Hydropower poses a major threat to both upstream and downstream migrating Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.). To ensure a relatively safe route for migrating fish, fish ways and different guidance structures are constructed to help fish to bypass the turbine intakes to power stations. READ MORE

  3. 17. Design Optimization of Spillways at Baihetan Hydroelectric Dam

    University essay from KTH/Energiteknik

    Author : Jack Lönn; Oskar Dahl; [2016]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : China’s economic prosperity has led to a massive development in the hydropower sector. The Baihetan hydropower project is an ongoing construction and will become the third largest hydroelectric power plant in the world in regards to generating capacity and is projected to be finished in the year 2020.

  4. 18. CFD modelling of dam spillway aerator

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Raphaël Damiron; [2015]
    Keywords : 3D flow; VOF; CFD; aerator; spillway; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The purposes of this master thesis are the simulation of the aerator air flow driven by the spillway water flow in the Bergeforsen dam and the behavior of the flow in the stilling basin. Aerators are employed to supply air at critical locations in the flow where low pressure and cavitation may occur in order to protect the structure. READ MORE

  5. 19. Jet flow simulations of Baihetan hydropower station’s discharge surface spillways

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för tillämpad fysik och elektronik

    Author : Benjamin Blomqvist; Britta Rönntoft; [2015]
    Keywords : CFD; Baihetan; spillway; hydropower;

    Abstract : This project was performed in order to determine if numerical simulations can be used to predict the spreading of a water jet that exits the discharge surface spillways of Baihetan hydropower station. If the spreading ranges can be predicted correctly using numerical simulations, the pressure distribution in the plunge pool downstream the dam can be determined. READ MORE

  6. 20. Energy and hydrology modelling of hydropower in Eastern Canada

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Mimmi Ljungberg; [2015]
    Keywords : Rainfall runoff model; hydropower; Eastern Canada; electricity market; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Kanada är väldigt rikt på energiresurser och fjärde största vattenkraftproducenten i världen. Provinsen Quebec står för omkring 52% av Kanadas totala vattenkraftsproduktion, och ener- gimarknaden Quebec domineras fullständigt av vattenkraft: 96% av elen genereras där av vattenkraft. READ MORE
