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 …

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 …

Storage hydropower plants, which are an important component of energy production in
Switzerland, can lead to hydro‐and thermopeaking, affecting river habitats and organisms …

Hydropeaking refers to the mode of hydropower dam operation where sub-daily changes in
flow are used to vary the generation of electricity in accordance with demand. A typical …

The large-scale construction of hydropower projects has significantly altered the
ecohydrological conditions of fish habitats, and habitat, migration and other behavior of fish …

Hydropeaking is the rapid change in the water flow downstream of a hydropower plant,
driven by changes in daily electricity demand. These fluctuations may produce negative …

Abstract The Baixo Sabor hydroelectric scheme was recently constructed (began operating
in 2015), blocking fish migration immediately at the river mouth. As a compensation measure …

Small hydroelectric power plants (SHPPs) are often promoted as clean and renewable
energy sources. However, SHPPs are often characterized by hydropeaking, which is a …
