Hydropower Integration into Renewable Energy Systems: Technological Advances and Economic Considerations
Main Article Content
Abstract
Hydropower integration into renewable energy systems represents a pivotal strategy in transitioning towards sustainable energy landscapes. This paper explores the technological advances and economic considerations associated with the integration of hydropower within broader renewable energy frameworks. Technological advancements in turbine efficiency, grid integration, and energy storage technologies have enhanced the flexibility and reliability of hydropower as a renewable energy source. Economic considerations encompass cost competitiveness, revenue streams from ancillary services, and socio-economic impacts on local communities. Through a comprehensive review of current literature and case studies, this paper elucidates the evolving role of hydropower in renewable energy portfolios and underscores the importance of strategic planning and policy frameworks to optimize its contributions to global energy transitions.
