The ongoing transformation of the electricity market has reshaped hydropower production paradigm for storage reservoir systems, with a shift from strategies oriented towards maximizing regional energy to aimed at revenue maximization individual systems. Indeed, producers bid their scheduling 1 day in advance, attempting align operational plan hours where expected prices are higher. As result, accuracy 1-day ahead forecasts started play key role short-term optimization This paper aims...
Abstract. Climate change raises the critical need to understand its impact on water resources, particularly as hydropower’s role a flexible, renewable energy source becomes more vital in planning for system's decarbonization. While hydrological modeling represents an established tool assessing future evolution of key challenge lies reliance data describing geometry and operation hydropower systems interacting with natural stream network. The Italian Alpine Region (IAR) is home over 300 large...
Storage hydropower systems are pillars in clean energy production, especially mountainous regions and higher altitudes where water availability is abundant. With the increasing penetration of variable renewable sources such as wind solar, which highly weather-dependent often misaligned with demand, role reservoirs, conversely can act batteries, becoming more significant.Modelling these within hydrological frameworks provides reliable tools for testing management policies. However, missing...
Glacier meltwater is critical in sustaining streamflow during low-flow periods mountainous regions. Nevertheless, glacier melt often poorly or statically assessed hydrological simulations, leading to partial considerations for effectively managing water, especially droughts.This study evaluates the contribution of summer flows and its capacity mitigate droughts upper Adige River basin, located Italian Alps (6900 km2). To achieve this, a new dynamic module was implemented into ICHYMOD-TOPMELT...
Despite being traditionally regarded as water-rich, alpine regions are increasingly vulnerable to droughts due the compounding effects of extreme climate events and conflicting water uses. This study focuses on Upper Adige catchment, where shifts in its snow-driven hydrological regime intensifying, calling for systematic adaptation meet diverse demands across agriculture, ecosystems, hydropower.In this study, we investigate formation mechanisms leading causes drought area analyzing 27...
Large-scale hydrological models are demanding both in term of memory allocation and CPU time, particularly when assessment modeling uncertainty is required. High Performance Computing offers the opportunity to reach resolutions not achievable with standard serial coding. However, advantages may be offset by poor scalability model due components that have executed series, such as simulate presence hydraulic infrastructures. Driven this motivation, we developed HYPERstreamHS, a adopts holistic...
Most mountain catchments worldwide are exploited for hydropower production causing significant alterations of their natural regime. Hydrological and water resources modelling in these is challenging because the streamflow caused by often significant, while capturing variability space time requires critical data concerning hydraulic infrastructures operational schedules. These difficult to acquire, thereby hindering possibility correctly simulate complex interaction between hydrological cycle...
A new non-destructive index of absorbance difference (IAD), calculated with different wavelengths as references, near the chlorophyll peak or that for anthocyanin, has been used to determine fruit ripening several species using portable devices such Standard DA-Meter® and Kiwi-Meter®. In this study, first time, application IAD was evaluated on single, intact olives Leccino cultivar, a single maturity follow in field, directly tree. The determined by both found be useful monitoring olive...
Droughts are complex natural phenomena with multifaceted impacts, and a thorough drought impact assessment should entail suite of adequate modelling tools also include observational data, thus hindering the feasibility such studies at large scales. In this work we present methodology that tackles obstacle by narrowing down study area to smaller subset potential hot-spots (i.e., areas where conditions expected be exacerbated, based on future climate projections). We achieve exploring novel...
The threat of climate change and water resource overexploitation to river network ecosystems their natural flows is evident, particularly in mountainous regions where hydropower production also responsible for significant alterations the streamflow. Hydrological modeling these watersheds hindered by limited knowledge technical geometrical information. Key characteristics parameters related operating schedule hydraulic infrastructures are usually hard obtain as they mostly confidential data...
Large-scale hydrological modeling has gained a wealth of attention in the last decades, due to importance assessing growing anthropogenic and climate change impacts on water resources. In context these studies, Alpine Region historically played key role, being widely recognized as “Europe’s tower” given complex combination climatic drivers influencing its hydrology. The application at synoptic scale requires an accurate assessment forcing, chiefly precipitation...
<p>Natural streamflow of most mountain catchments worldwide is altered as a consequence hydropower exploitation and other water uses. Hydrological modelling in these watersheds represents challenging task, the alteration caused by production linked to operational schedules well geometrical technical constraints, which are system specific. Key parameters controlling functioning difficult acquire, because protected producers, hence systems large domains often resorts simplified...
<p>The recent transformation of the electricity market has modified hydropower production paradigm, especially for storage reservoir systems. In particular, process liberation led to a shift in management approaches. These have moved from strategies oriented maximizing energy aimed at revenue maximization.
