Hydroelectric Power - Hardcover

by Zhengwei Wang (Guest Editor), Yongguang Cheng (Guest Editor)

Hydropower is an inexhaustible, renewable, and clean energy. Hydropower technology converts water energy into electrical energy, enabling solutions for technical and economic issues in engineering construction and production operation. In the modern power system, the proportion of hydropower generation is growing bigger and bigger, with an increasing number of scholars studying hydropower generation technology. Hydropower technology involves many fields, such as power plant site selection, hydrological forecasting, and hydropower dispatching, and it requires expertise in geology, machinery, and power systems. The purpose of this topic was to attract the latest research progress in the field of global hydropower planning and operation management, as well as to integrate scholars in various fields, such as hydrology, electromechanical power, and electric power, to discuss the current challenges faced by hydropower.
