WPTO's Hydropower e-newsletter features news on R&D and applied science to advance sustainable hydropower and pumped-storage technologies.
Below are stories about hydropower featured by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Water Power Technologies Office.
Study reveals how cross-continental integration of large amounts of wind, solar, and hydropower could support a low-carbon future grid and quantifies system benefit of hydropower flexibility.
Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory partner to create the framework for a digital representation of hydropower systems to inform plant operations and decision making.
The research team behind the HydroPASSAGE project worked directly with users to enhance the utility of two toolsets and ensure the adoption of tools to support environmental and operational decision making.
Upstream Tech used machine learning and satellite data to develop more accurate streamflow forecasts that will help hydropower developers and regulators make more informed decisions about future hydropower projects and operations.
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory partners with the International Forum on Pumped Storage Hydropower to develop a series of reports on pumped storage hydropower capabilities, costs, and innovations.
WPTO is accepting applications for the latest round of funding under the Hydroelectric Production Incentive Program under Section 242 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005.
WPTO recently launched the Pumped Storage Hydropower (PSH) Valuation Tool, a web-based platform that takes users through the valuation process presented in the Pumped Storage Hydropower Valuation Guidebook.
On December 7, WPTO will host a webinar on the water power-focused topics in the FY 2022 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Programs. Speakers will share highlights on each WPTO topic and sub-topic.
STEM disciplines, or the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, are critical to understanding our world and developing solutions to complex challenges.
DOE awards $16M across five national labs to advance the state of HydroWIRES research. Selected projects fall into one of five topic areas focused on increasing hydropower’s impact towards a clean, resilient energy grid.
