Annex XVI Annex XVI Hidden and Untapped Hydropower Hidden and Untapped Hydropower Opportunities on existing infrastructures Opportunities on existing infrastructures Main objective : support the development of Hidden Hydro projects by Main objective : support the development of Hidden Hydro projects by Understanding the potential for sustainable Hidden Hydro that has not been addressed through traditional approaches to hydropower development planning. Identifying processes to prepare inventories of the potential for sustainable Hidden Hydro . Studying approaches to identify Hidden Hydro opportunities through improvements in data gathering, technology innovations, changes in regulation policies and deployment measures. Formulating needs for further technology development to maximize the future use of the potential of sustainable hidden hydropower and develop a research and innovation agenda. 28./02/2022 IEA - Annex XVI - Workshop - Introduction 3
Annex XVI Annex XVI Hidden and Untapped Hydropower Hidden and Untapped Hydropower Opportunities on existing infrastructures Opportunities on existing infrastructures Main tasks Main tasks Task 4 Task 3 Task 1 Task 2 Hydropower Technology Research and Innovation in the context of Hidden Hydropower opportunities Adding Power to Non- power Dams and Water Management Facilities Updating Hydropower Inventories Improving Performance from Existing Hydropower Coordination: Switzerland Coordination: Japan Coordination: USA Coordination: EU Review and identify the processes to update existing hydropower inventories to identify additional opportunities. Evaluate existing, older hydropower plants for opportunities to improve performance, reduce losses and add power. Identify and evaluate the opportunities of the many existing dams, built for water supply, irrigation, flood control etc., which have potential to add hydropower to their discharge or diversion facilities. Summarize and evaluate innovative research and development initiatives that are contributing to the action areas defined in tasks 1 to 3 and develop a future oriented research and innovation agenda. 28./02/2022 IEA - Annex XVI - Workshop - Introduction 4
