Hydropeaking,which refers to rising or falling discharges caused by the turning on or off of hydro-turbines to generate electricity,is a topic of growing interest due to its impact on fluvial ecosystems.To date,most h...
To avoid negative consequences to freshwater biota from climate change,society must complete the transition from fossil to renewable electricity sources.However,temporal patterns in hydropower generation(and flow rele...

An effect of hydropower and hydropeaking regulation in rivers is stranding of fish. Those fishes that survive stranding may experience stranding as a stressful situation. In four experimental stranding experiments (ea...
Many hydropower plants are operated as peak generators or frequency controllers, because they can change their output quickly to follow the fluctuating power demand. When meeting peak load requirements, a power statio...
