Background: A large number of the world’s large dams and reservoirs are built for other types of use than hydropower production, in particular in Asia and Africa, but also in Europe a large number of dams have been built without hydroelectricity as one of the functions.
Figure 1: The figure shows the large single purpose dams, as given in ICOLD database. Also smaller dams and multi-purpose dams without hydropower will be investigated in the project.
This project aims at analyzing the possibility of retrofitting some of the dams/reservoirs for hydropower production in Romania:
• the hydropower potential from non-hydropowered dams in RomaniaRomania
• which technology that can be feasible to use on these non-hydropower dams/reservoirs
• the possible impacts (if any) could on the existing use of the dams/reservoirs
• identify potential barrier for deployment of the idea (of retrofitting)
• estimate the national potential for hydropower production non-hydropower dams/reservoirs
