Environmental measures impact on hydropower systems

The use of fictive storage can help to better document lost flexibility in the hydropower system when changing or introducing new environmental measures.

Environmental measures impact on hydropower systems

The use of fictive storage can help to better document lost flexibility in the hydropower system when changing or introducing new environmental measures.

The figure shows an illustration of the concept around the EEL method.

More testing is needed prior to validation

The method needs more testing to be validated and put to use on simulation results from a stochastic optimization model, such as ProdRisk. It will then have the potential to help look at changes in flexibility due to new restrictions in hydropower systems.
