The widespread adoption of both commercial and residential non-dispatchable renewable energy facilities, such as solar and wind, further taxes the stability of the electrical grid, often causing traditional fossil fuel power plants to operate at lower efficiency, and with increased carbon emissions. Hydropower, as a proven renewable energy technology, has a significant part to play in the future global electrical power market, especially as increasing demand for electric vehicles will further amplify the need for dispatchable energy sources during peak charging times. Even with more than a century of proven experience, significant opportunities still exist to expand the worldwide hydropower resources and more efficiently utilize existing hydropower installations. Given this context, this Special Issue of Energies intended to present recent developments and advancements in hydropower design and operation. This Special Issue includes five articles, authored by international research teams from Japan, Pakistan, Sweden, Norway, the United States, and China. The authors bring the collective expertise of government research laboratories, university professors, industry research engineers, computer scientists, and economists. The articles explore advancements in hydroturbine and pump-turbine design, power plant operation, auxiliary equipment design to mitigate environmental damage, and an exploration of community-owned small hydropower facilities. 606 $aTechnology: general issues$2bicssc 606 $aHistory of engineering & technology$2bicssc 610 $acommunity development 610 $acommunity ownership 610 $asmall hydropower 610 $aSHP 610 $arenewable energy 610 $acrowdfunding 610 $aFIT 610 $acommunity-based business 610 $aagricultural cooperative 610 $ahydropower 610 $apumped hydro storage 610 $alow-head 610 $acounter-rotating 610 $apump-turbine 610 $atransient sequences 610 $ashutdown 610 $astartup 610 $aOpenFOAM 610 $aCFD 610 $asand trap 610 $asediment transport 610 $aparticle 610 $amultiphase 610 $ahybrid power 610 $aneural networks 610 $apumped-storage hydro 610 $asolar 610 $aphotovoltaic 610 $apump turbine 610 $apump mode 610 $aslight opening 610 $aflow deflection 610 $adynamic meshing technique 615 7$aTechnology: general issues 615 7$aHistory of engineering & technology 700 $aCimbala$b John M$4edt$0306040 702 $aLewis$b Bryan J$4edt 702 $aCimbala$b John M$4oth 702 $aLewis$b Bryan J$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910576880603321 996 $aAdvancements in Hydropower Design and Operation for Present and Future Electrical Demand$93037561 997 $aUNINA
