Improving hydropower flexibility by synergizing independently managed utilities

Giovanni De Cesare, Pedro Filipe De Almeida Manso, Sabine Chamoun, Vincent Gaertner, Steve Crettenand

Increasing the flexibility of hydropower allows operators to produce at optimal time ranges, not only dependent on the demand flow but also on the price trends. However, the possibility to improve hydropower flexibility can be hindered when assets are mana ...

Hydropeaking mitigation measures in the Swiss Upper-Rhône basin

Pedro Filipe De Almeida Manso, Sabine Chamoun, Mathieu Pierre Guy Barnoud, Steve Crettenand

Hydropower operations can cause hydropeaking particularly in the case of pumped storage systems located in mountainous regions. Due to the rapidly varying discharge conditions, hydropeaking leads to several problems such as stranding of fishes and inverteb ...

A General Equilibrium Assessment of Climate Change Impacts on Swiss Winter Tourism with Adaptation

Marc Vielle, Camille Gonseth

Winter alpine tourism has been repeatedly identified as one of the economic sectors most at risk from climate change in Switzerland. However, all of the costs that have been estimated so far for the Swiss tourism sector are, to some extent, misleading as t ...

Unexpected large evasion fluxes of carbon dioxide from turbulent streams draining the world’s mountains

Tom Ian Battin, Enrico Bertuzzo, Amber Joy Ulseth, Asa Lovisa Viktoria Horgby, Pier Luigi Segatto

Inland waters, including streams and rivers, are active components of the global carbon cycle.Despite the large areal extent of the world’s mountains, the role of mountain streams forglobal carbonfluxes remains elusive. Using recent insights from gas excha ...

Bottom slope influence on flow and bedload transfer through contractions

Anton Schleiss, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Sebastian Schwindt

In-stream open check dams are essential for flood protection at mountain rivers that are characterized by steep slopes (>1%) and sediment-laden flood discharges. These structures comprise an opening acting as a lateral or vertical flow contraction to force ...

Statistical analysis of the spatial and temporal variability of polarimetric weather radar signals in the Alps

Floortje Elisabeth Maria Van den Heuvel

The accurate estimation of precipitation quantities arriving at the ground in complex terrain such as the Alps is complicated by many factors. The orography interacts with atmospheric flow and thus influences the spatial and temporal distribution as well a ...

Dynamics and potential drivers of CO2 concentration and evasion across temporal scales in high-alpine streams

Tom Ian Battin, Asa Lovisa Viktoria Horgby, Nicolas Thomas Georges Escoffier, Luis Gómez Gener

Carbon dioxide (CO2) evasion from streams greatly contributes to global carbon fluxes. Despite this, the temporal dynamics of CO2 and its drivers remain poorly understood to date. This is particularly true for high-altitude streams. Using high-resolution t ...

Potential increase in energy storage capacity in the Swiss Alps to support the massive development of renewables: Case study of the Grande Dixence hydropower scheme

Anton Schleiss, Pedro Filipe De Almeida Manso, Jérôme François Sylvain Dujardin, Blaise Monay

Only 42 % of the mean annual production of large hydropower plants in the Swiss Alps is stored in their reservoirs. Once the reservoirs are full at the end of the summer semester, plants are operated as run-on-the-river in order to avoid spilling. A signif ...
