      Hayes, Daniel; Bruno, Maria Cristina; Alp, Maria; Boavida, Isabel; Batalla, Ramon J.; Bejarano, Maria Dolores; Noack, Markus; Vanzo, Davide; Casas-Mulet, Roser; Vericat, Damia; Carolli, Mauro; Tonolla, Diego; Halleraker, Jo Halvard; Gosselin, Marie-Pierre; Chiogna, Gabriele; Zolezzi, Guido; Venus, Terese E. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      As the share of renewable energy grows worldwide, flexible energy production from peak-operating hydropower and the phenomenon of hydropeaking have received increasing attention. In this study, we collected open research ...
    • Assessing the life cycle environmental impacts of wind power: A review of present knowledge and research needs 

      Arvesen, Anders; Hertwich, Edgar G. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)
      We critically review present knowledge of the life cycle environmental impacts of wind power. We find that the current body of life cycle assessments (LCA) of wind power provides a fairly good overall understanding of ...
    • Barriers and potential solutions to the diffusion of solar photovoltaics from the public-private-people partnership perspective – Case study of Norway 

      Xue, Yan; Lindkvist, Carmel Margaret; Temeljotov Salaj, Alenka (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Norway is a major renewable energy developer in Europe, mainly through its development of hydropower. Research has shown that solar energy also has potential in Norway, however, the cumulative installed photovoltaic capacity ...
    • Fluid-structure interactions in Francis turbines: A perspective review 

      Trivedi, Chirag; Cervantes, Michel (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Competitive electricity prices and reduced profit margins have forced hydraulic turbines to operate under critical conditions. The demand for extended operating ranges and the high efficiency of the turbine runners have ...
    • High-resolution mapping of land use changes in Norwegian hydropower systems 

      Kenawi, Mahmoud Saber Refaei; Alfredsen, Knut Tore; Stürzer, LS; Sandercock, Brett Kevin; Bakken, Tor Haakon (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      The Transition towards sustainable energy systems requires phasing out fossil fuels. Hydropower is a key source of renewable energy and can contribute to reaching a 100 % low carbon-based energy system. Uncertainty remains ...
