Les petites centrales hydrauliques d’accumulation et à pompage-turbinage pourraient contribuer à la production d’électricité décentralisée de pointe et de réglage, ainsi qu’au stockage d’énergie décentralisé. Le potentiel technique en Suisse est suffisamme ...
The facilitation of renewable energy technologies should also consider energy storage says Nicolas Crettenand as he looks at the potential for small storage and pumped storage plants in Switzerland. ...
The aim of this paper is to explore the storage and pump-storage application of small hydropower as an example of co-evolution between institutions and technologies. The context of the research is given by the liberalisation of the electricity sector and t ...
This paper aims to explore the technical and institutional feasibility of small hydropower storage and pump-storage schemes in Switzerland. Within the European and Swiss context of the facilitation of renewable energy technologies, whereby solar and wind p ...
Within the context of the liberalisation of the electricity sector, the government’s aim to increase renewable energy sources and post-Kyoto regulation, this paper aims to identify and develop institutional mechanisms to facilitate mini and small hydropowe ...
