  • the role of Hydropower installations for sustainable energy development in turkey and the world
    Renewable Energy, 2018
    Co-Authors: Mehmet Bilgili, Harun Bilirgen, Arif Ozbek, Firat Ekinci, Tugce Demirdelen
    Abstract:

    Abstract Hydropower has the largest share among renewable energy sources in the world, supplying more than 16.6% of total global electricity to over 160 countries around the world. Global Hydropower capacity increased to approximately 1096 GW with the addition of 25 GW of new Hydropower capacity in 2016. With a 216 TWh per year generation capacity, Turkey’s Hydropower potential is the largest in Europe. The increased rate of installed capacity in Turkey was ranked 7th in the world in 2016 with an annual installed hydroelectric capacity of 0.8 GW. The main objective of this paper is to review the developments of Hydropower installations around the world and in Turkey with an emphasis on the potential of small scale Hydropower systems such as waterwheels in utilizing low head water flow for household electricity usage. In the first part of this study, the growth of worldwide Hydropower capacity is reviewed and the countries with the largest installed and new built Hydropower capacities are reported. In the second part of this study, the current status of Turkey’s Hydropower plants is discussed in detail with respect to annual regional rainfall, gross water mass flow and potential of Turkey’s major water basins to demonstrate the potential energy output that can be harnessed from small-scale systems implemented in low-head water sources. In addition, the most recent information on Turkey’s electricity generation and consumption rates are reported.

  • Hydropower development trends from a technological paradigm perspective
    Energy Conversion and Management, 2015
    Co-Authors: Bobo Zheng
    Abstract:

    Abstract Hydropower has long been considered the backbone of the power generation sector in low-carbon and sustainable energy systems. Yet, as reliance on Hydropower has been generally declining, the world is awakening to the need to fundamentally rethink the way Hydropower is developed and managed. The paper proposes a systematic methodology to research the development trends and find a more sustainable Hydropower path. Literature mining using the data analysis system and the technological paradigm theory were adopted to conduct the research. The keyword visualization results were found to meet the laws for the three phases of the technological paradigm. Specific key areas, such as small Hydropower plants, hybrid power systems, and Hydropower from seawater were identified as past, present and near future trajectories. To further accelerate Hydropower development, specific subsidies and incentives need to be provided in areas such as capital costs and technological support. The study paves the way for a soft path solution which complements the hard path in Hydropower field.

  • A state-of-the-art review of Hydropower in Malaysia as renewable energy: Current status and future prospects
    Energy Strategy Reviews, 2018
    Co-Authors: Monowar Hossain, A.s.n. Huda, Saad Mekhilef, Mehdi Seyedmahmoudian, Ben Horan, Alex Stojcevski, Mahrous Ahmed
    Abstract:

    Abstract The gradual depletion of fossil-fuel-based energy resources and the growing rate of greenhouse gas emission are two of the most significant global concerns in recent years. These concerns have resulted in an increasing demand for the utilization of renewable energy resources. From among all renewable resources, Hydropower is the leading contributor to grid-connected electricity in the world. In this article, the Hydropower potential in Malaysia, current and future prospects of large and small-scale Hydropower development, and issues and challenges related to Hydropower development are described. Small Hydropower promotion techniques, government initiatives, and the advantages and barriers to small Hydropower development are also included.

  • current and future Hydropower development in southeast asia countries malaysia indonesia thailand and myanmar
    Energy Policy, 2019
    Co-Authors: Shengwen Tang, Jingtao Chen, Peigui Sun, E Chen
    Abstract:

    Abstract This work discusses the development of Hydropower in four Southeast Asia countries. With rapid economic development and insufficient energy supply, Hydropower, as an important clean energy, plays a bigger role than before. It is shown that Hydropower has immense potential and is the best choice to cater for the energy demand in Southeast Asia. In this work, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and Myanmar are selected to analyze their Hydropower development. This work introduces the status of Hydropower resources, the current situation of Hydropower development and the main distribution of Hydropower stations in the four countries. In addition, the paper also introduces some energy policies, the development advantages and obstacles of the four countries, and puts forward suggestions for the future Hydropower development of these four countries.
