Total Dissolved Gas Supersaturation as a System-Level Constraint on Flexible Hydropower Dispatch: An Engineering Assessment Within the Water–Energy–Environment Nexus
The increasing contribution of non-dispatchable renewable energy sources has changed the operating patterns of hydropower plants, especially in run-of-river schemes with limited storage capacity. Under intermittent dispatch, turbine shutdowns may occur while environmental-flow requirements must still be maintained. In...
