Norwegian hydropower considers itself strong on sustainability, but a study from the research center HydroCen shows significant variation in how the hydropower industry handles challenges related to environmental measures.
Researchers in the centre RenewHydro will collaborate to develop smart solutions. The goal is more environmentally friendly hydropower, to provide reliable power supply and to benefit society and life in the rivers.
Researchers seek to use turbulent eddies in the river to safely guide salmon and eels past hydropower plants.
