New Paper: Potential of Hidden Hydropower in the Energy Transition
PEN@Hydropower is pleased to announce the publication of a new paper on the potential of hidden hydropower technologies to support the global shift toward sustainable energy systems. By exploring innovative approaches in pressurised systems, hydro storage, and unpressurised systems, the study emphasises their role in providing clean, decentralized energy solutions.
The research explores diverse applications for hidden hydropower, including off-grid energy generation, enabling prosumer-driven systems, and powering on-site measurements. These technologies offer opportunities for enhancing energy system flexibility and integrating renewable sources more effectively, making them vital contributors to the energy transition.
The study is a collaborative effort by an international team of researchers, including Valbona Karapici, Alex Trojer, Marija Lazarevikj, Tomaš Pluskal, Anna Chernobrova, Emir Nezirić, Giulia Zuecco, Aldo Leonardo Alerci, Martin Seydoux, Eduard Doujak, and Pavel Rudolf.
