Hydropower is commonly considered a renewable energy source. Nevertheless, this does
not imply an absence of impacts on the riverine ecosystem, the extent of which is expected …

Hydroelectric power plants managed in response to sub-daily changes of the electricity
market undergo rapid variations of turbine discharge, entailing quickly fluctuating water …

The water-energy-ecosystem nexus represents a complex interlinkage that depends on the
flow regime type. Inadequate environmental flows setting may adversely affect the riverine …

As the share of renewable energy grows worldwide, flexible energy production from peak-
operating hydropower and the phenomenon of hydropeaking have received increasing …

Hydropower plants are an important source of renewable energy. In the near future, high-
head storage hydropower plants will gain further importance as a key element of large-scale …

Modeling individual fish habitat selection in highly variable environments such as
hydropeaking rivers is required for guiding efficient management decisions. We analyzed …

Peak-operating hydropower plants are usually the energy grid's backbone by providing
flexible energy production. At the same time, hydropeaking operations are considered one …

A characterization of short-term changes in river flow is essential for understanding the
ecological effects of hydropower plants, which operate by turning the turbines on or off to …

High-head storage hydropower is deemed to be the ideal renewable energy source in
Alpine regions to meet the increasing demand for daily peak electrical energy. However, this …

Hydropeaking is one of the main pressures on the aquatic ecology in alpine rivers. Beside
studies on abiotic process and biotic response on the local scale there is a lack in process …
