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 …

Hydropower globally represents the main source of renewable energy, and provides several
benefits, eg, water storage and flexibility; on the other hand, it may cause significant impacts …

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

ABSTRACT The European Union is pursuing an ambitious energy policy to reduce the
emission of pollutants into the environment and achieve complete decarbonization by 2050 …

Hydroelectric power facilities can generate episodic total dissolved gas supersaturation
(TDGS), which is harmful to aquatic life. We developed a decision tree-based risk …

Hydropeaking operations or accidental shutdown in hydropower (HP) plants lead to rapid
reduction in river flows downstream HP outlets and cause severe stranding of biota …

Juvenile fish are known to be the most impacted during hydropeaking events due to
stranding or uncontrolled drift resulting from changes to water depth and flow velocity. To …

We assessed the effect of a hydropeaking diversion mitigation measure that allows for
additional hydropower production, which markedly reduced hydropeaking on a 10‐km …

Of all the environmental elements that influence the biological communities of rivers, water
flow characteristics are undoubtedly the most important. Unfortunately, natural hydrological …

Hydropeaking (the release of water pulses at hydropower plants) results in temporary
reductions in river channel water‐covered area downstream, which may cause fish mortality …
