The cognitive ability of neuro-genetic modeling is applied to minimize CVI so that the conditions required to reduce the effect of climate change on HPP can be identified. The results from the study are found to be encouraging. The scarcity and pollution potential of conventional sources of energy has enforced scientists worldwide to look for efficient, flexible, cost effective but reliable alternative energy resources. Among many available options the energy extracted from water was found to be the least expensive, most flexible and moderately reliable renewable energy source which has the potential to replace the dependency on conventional fuels.SpringerBriefs in Energy,2191-5539Renewable energy sourcesClimatologyElectric power productionEconomic developmentWaterHydrologyRenewable EnergyClimate SciencesElectrical Power EngineeringMechanical Power EngineeringEconomic GrowthWaterRenewable energy sources.Climatology.Electric power production.Economic development.Water.Hydrology.Renewable Energy.Climate Sciences.Electrical Power Engineering.Mechanical Power Engineering.Economic Growth.Water.621.312134Majumder Mrinmoyauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut875357MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910253986203321Minimization of Climatic Vulnerabilities on Mini-hydro Power Plants1954348UNINA
