IRENA partners with IHA to advance hydropower development

 


The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) and the International Hydropower Association (IHA) have collaborated to advance sustainable hydropower development across the world.

Under the terms of the partnership, the two organisations will work together to accelerate the financing, development, and deployment of sustainable hydropower.

IHA CEO Eddie Rich said: “While hydropower will continue to play an essential role in global electricity, hydropower’s flexibility and storage capabilities are also important to complement variable renewables such as wind and solar. Hydropower acts as an enabler of higher shares of variable renewable energy in future energy systems.”

An IRENA spokesperson said that the partnership will involve future policy and market initiatives which aim to benefit hydropower projects. The agency will also enable public-private dialogue, strengthen international cooperation and promote sustainable hydropower through knowledge development.

Recently, IRENA published its post-Covid-19 economic recovery agenda. This suggests a 150% increase in annual sustainable hydropower investments from $22bn to $55bn before 2030, which would support global economic recovery and accelerate the energy transition.

As part of the agreement, the organisation will support IHA’s new International Forum on Pumped Storage Hydropower, a government-led multi-stakeholder platform. The platform was developed in partnership with the US Department of Energy and aims to increase use of pumped storage hydropower.

According to IRENA, hydropower is the world’s largest source of renewable power. It says the technology is now contributing more than half of the world’s renewable energy installed capacity, and directly employing around two million people.

Get to know China’s wind farms —— Inner Mongolia Ulanqab Wind Farm(wind power)

  Introduction Inner Mongolia is the richest region in China in terms of wind resources and the closest to the country's electricity load, making it ideal for the development of mega wind power bases. Because of its unique wind resources, it has become a haven for investment companies to capture wind power projects. The most representative of these projects is the first phase of the Wulanchabu wind power project, which is the pinnacle of China's wind power industry. Construction time： On September 26, 2019, the world's largest single onshore wind farm, the first phase of the 6 million kilowatt demonstration project of the Ulanqab Wind Power Base, officially began construction.   Total investment： The Wulanchabu Wind Power Base Phase I 6 million kilowatt demonstration project is the first wind power project to be included in the national plan for clean energy parity outbound transmission, with a total static investment of 36.1 billion yuan, making it the largest single onsho...

Water Turbine Design for Small Scale Hydro Energy

                                                  https://www.boland-hydroturbine.com/ Selecting the Best Type of Water Turbine Design Selecting the best type of water turbine design for your particular situation often depends on the amount of head and flow rate that is available at your particular location and whether it is at the side of a river or stream, or the water is to be channelled or piped directly to your location. Other factors include whether you want an enclosed “reaction turbine design” such as the Francis turbine or an open “impulse turbine design”, such as the Pelton turbine as well as the speed of rotation of your proposed electrical generator. By analysing all of these factors together you can get some indication of what type of  Water Turbine Design  may work best for your particular situation. Knowing the difference between ...
