A high resolution flood forecasting tool and hydropower simulator
(Master thesis, 2014)Two hydrological models for two regions in central Norway using respectively observation inputs from stations and distributed inputs from a meteorological model where set up and calibrated to test their performances; ... -
A river routing model for Orkla river
(Master thesis, 2017)A brief summary of river routing models has been provided. Based on that, a model has been built to meet specific conditions at Orkla river. The model is verified to use with several historical data sets. Due to itæs ... -
Analysis and modelling of recent large floods on the river Gaula
(Master thesis, 2015)In order to study the flood from 2009, 2010 and 2011 that have been impacting the Gaula waterway, a hydrological and operational model have been built. A brief description of the study is given as an introduction, followed ... -
Assessment of Sediment Handling Strategies in the Regulation Pond of El Canadá Hydropower Plant, Guatemala - Processing and analyzing sediment information collected in situ
(Master thesis, 2018)El Canadá HPP is a 47 MW run-of-river hydropower plant located in Guatemala. The power plant is highly affected by sediments, especially its off-stream regulation pond. Some sediment handling strategies have been implemented ... -
Climate change impact on wastewater networks
(Master thesis, 2016)The main findings of this thesis are summarized below : The extrapolations from precipitation analysis are too large for long term planning to be use in design drainage system. The 10 years periods of time are too short ... -
Climate change impacts Norwegian hydropower systems
(Master thesis, 2016)Climate change impacts hydropower sytems in Norway -
Comparison of the hydraulic capacity of different culvert inlet designs under sediment transport conditions
(Master thesis, 2015)Abstract Culverts are important hydraulic structures whose main purpose is to safely convey water through infrastructures crossing streams (e.g. roads). Several design guidelines exist for clear water conditions, but none ... -
Concrete Dams Constructed on Soil Materials
(Master thesis, 2015)Rock may not always be encountered at economical depth to have foundation dam on it. It is a typical situation in Nepal where several meters deep alluvium is expected before reaching competent rock. Several dams have been ... -
Direct Simulation of Surge Tank Stability
(Master thesis, 2018)This thesis deals with the issue of surge tank stability in hydropower plants, investigating methods used to design the surge tank area required to guarantee stability. Currently, Thoma equation (1910) is widely accepted ... -
Evaluating Sediment handling strategies for Banja Reservoir using the RESCON2 model - A comprehensive study of the rapid assessment tool for sustainable sediment management
(Master thesis, 2017)Banja Reservoir along Devoll River basin, Albania is in threat of loss in storage due to sedimentation. Catchment of Devoll river draining into Banja reservoir has prominent sheet erosion and mass wasting due to intense ... -
Evaluation and upgrade of the Telemark flood model
(Master thesis, 2016)Flood forecasting models are important tools that could be used to find the optimum way to operate hydropower reservoirs in order to reduce flood disasters of especially human settles close to these reservoirs. The flood ... -
Evaluation of bypass valves at small hydro power plants
(Master thesis, 2017)Hydropeaking has adverse effects on river ecosystems which are likely to increase as hydropeaking increases. Bypass valves are extensively used in Norway to mitigate the sudden changes in water discharge, and this thesis ... -
Evaluation of snow simulations in SHyFT
(Master thesis, 2018)The main objective of this paper is to evaluate the SHyFT snow routine performance against observed snow data obtained from snow measurements in the field. SHyFT (Statkraft Hydrological Forecasting Toolbox) is an open ... -
Evaluation of snow simulations in SHyFT
(Master thesis, 2017)Snow is a very important component in the hydrological cycle in Norway and crucial for determining reservoir operation during the spring flood to ensure full reservoir and as little flood spill as possible. The Statkraft ... -
Flood dampening in hydropower systems
(Master thesis, 2018)The influence of the hydropower system on floods in the river Orkla was investigated by simulating flood events in regulated and unregulated conditions. A discharge time series was simulated using an HBV model with temperature ... -
Flood Frequency analysis using ENKI simulated discharges
(Master thesis, 2017)As climate change topics get heated and more related researches have been undertaken, the facts have been observed and revealed that more and more natural disasters and extremelitie are influencing people s way of life ... -
Gravity Dams on Karst foundation
(Master thesis, 2018)Foundations with dissolvable limestone possess difficult situation for the dams. Several dams around the world are either abandoned and never used such as Anchor Dam (USA) or requires continuous maintenance e.g Mosal dam ... -
Greenhouse gas emissions from fresh water reservoirs
(Master thesis, 2018)Different sources has been used for the production of energy and each of them have their own carbon footprint. Hydropower is a renewable source of energy, the hydropower reservoirs are therefore expected to have lower net ... -
Hydrodynamic modelling of physical habitat conditions for fish in the Ekso river near Flatekval
(Master thesis, 2018)In this study, a 2D hydrodynamic model HEC-RAS is used to simulate the flood inundation, water depths and flow velocities of the river reach in the Eksingedal watercourse near Flatekval in western Norway. The objectives ... -
