NREL Analysis Reveals Benefits of Hydropower for Grid-Scale Energy Storage
Pumped storage hydropower stands out as an established technology, but limited information is available about greenhouse gas emissions associated with its use.
Heat Waves Are Devastating Hydropower in China and the Western U.S.
The question of whether China and the western U.S. should continue investing in and advancing hydropower amid increasing climate change challenges remains.
Evaluating the Efficiency of Hydropower as an Alternative Energy Source and its Effects on the Ecosystem
Generation of hydropower, a renewable source of energy, is not a difficult feat, however, making the generation process efficient and cost effective is the real challenge.
Readers Choice 2020: New Technology Will Revolutionize Hydropower
Renewable power is right at our fingertips. With the help of new technology, water bodies like oceans, lakes and rivers can provide a substantial amount of clean electricity.
Untapped Potential Exists for Blending Hydropower, Floating PV

The researchers estimate that adding floating solar panels to bodies of water that are already home to hydropower stations could produce as much as 7.6 terawatts of potential power a year from the solar PV systems alone.
Startup Lowering Construction Costs for Hydropower Plant
Hydropower may become less costly as startups are beginning to use pre-existing facilities and discontinue dam building. Thus, construction costs would be minimal and engineers could implement hydropower on a much larger scale.
How Can We Improve Hydropower Technologies?
Innovation is inevitable, and technologies, digital or not, will progress as time goes on because it has too. Sustainable clean energy sources are vital to the future of our planet and with a little bit of commitment to innovation, we can get there sooner than we think.
