The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s Water Power Technologies Office has a new article out explaining the options for and benefits of modernizing hydropower facilities, and Natel is featured in it! Many of the world's hydropower facilities are aging—In Europe, the average hydropower plant is 45 years old. In North America, it's 50 years. And in the United States alone, the average age of the conventional hydropower fleet is over 60 years. 🌟 This means that we have a great opportunity to make upgrades that not only replace aging components but also enhance efficiency and sustainability in hydropower production. Repowering with FishSafe™ turbines is one such upgrade! But don't take it from us—read the article from the WPTO, which features a photo of Research Engineer Simone Lassar with a Natel's scale-model test turbine and links to a summary of one of our fish passage tests. The piece also discusses modernizing manufacturing processes, using powering non-powered dams, and cybersecurity for hydropower: https://lnkd.in/gbFdiXSq #hydropower #modernization #renewableenergy #innovation #technology #waterpower #fishsafe #withhydropower
Modernizing Hydropower: A #Sustainable Approach to Energy #Production #Hydropower has long been recognized as a valuable source of #renewable #energy, harnessing the kinetic energy of flowing water to generate #electricity. However, as the world faces increasing energy demands and growing concerns about environmental #sustainability, the need to modernize existing hydropower facilities has become increasingly urgent.

𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐇𝐲𝐝𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐎𝐮𝐭𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐛𝐲 𝟐𝟎𝟓𝟎 In these diagrams we can highlight the distribution of installed and installable power (with some projects already in the pipeline) up to 2050, according to the International Hydropower Association (IHA). It can be seen that for some areas of the world hydroelectric technology is already quite mature, while for others the potential remains high. #Hydropower #Hydroelectric #World #Capacity
