Innovative modelling for Californian high hydro
California’s high elevation hydropower system with more than 150 power plants provides 74% of the US state’s hydropower. Given that studying such a large system with conventional hydropower modelling methods would be tedious and costly, Kaveh Madani and Jay Lund have developed a new model (EBHOM) that can be used for large-scale hydropower planning studies in California with reasonable computational effort and time.
