1 1 Centre for environmental design of renewable energy CEDREN

2 2 The main objective of CEDREN is to develop and communicate design solutions for renewable energy production that t address environmental and societal challenges at local, l regional, national and global l levels. l

3 3 Hydro storage a renewable battery

4 Balancing power for Europe and supporting offshore wind? 4

5 5 Technology development for the future hydro system Hydropower development Increased power and salmon production Environmental impacts of flow fluctuations methods and tools

6 Environmental design 6 Power transmission: Impacts on wildlife Policy and society: How to reconcile energy and the environment? Birds and wind turbines

7 Environmental impacts of hydropeaking Environmental design of hydropower 7 Technical hydropower development Tools for planning and operation of hydropower political, institutional and societal factors Laboratories, field sites, numerical and graphical lab, dissemination, management Mammals Environmental impacts of power transmission Environmental impacts and design of wind power

8 HYDROPEAK Some important projects (with PhD s) 8 Scenarios for load/demand in Europe Improved hydrology/better operation Improved models for the power system Pumped storage/load governing Effects of increased flow variability Effects on ice and rivers Climate change

9 9 Scenariebygging Scenarier er mulige utviklingsveier for fremtiden, beskrevet som historier Noen hendelser er sannsynlige - andre er mindre sannsynlige Scenarier skal gi konsistente, systematiske og tenkelige beskrivelser av mulige fremtider Fokus på det tenkelige, ikke det sannsynlige Scenarier skal avdekke muligheter, begrensinger og utfordringer Scenarier er ikke fremskrivning / prognosering (skal ikke spå om fremtiden)

11 Environmental impacts of hydropeaking The main objective is to assess environmental impacts of hydropeaking and to describe how, when and where hydropeaking may be done with acceptable impacts on the ecosystem. Mitigation strategies will also be addressed. 11 Erosion and sediment transport Temperature and ice Benthos Fish Freshwater mussel Mammals Birds Also including: Model development Catalogue of measures and mitigation Categorizing hydropower plants

12 12 EnviPEAK will Determine when, where and how hydro-peaking can be done with acceptable ecosystem impacts Perform detailed studies in selected river systems Develop generalised methods and tools Categorise hydro-power plants/river systems Propose mitigating measures ( look for opportunities! ) Disseminate results

13 13 EnviDORR Increased power and salmon production with Environmentally Designed Operation of Regulated Rivers D t t Demonstrate in demo rivers

14 Tools Improved hydrological models Finer time scale better resolution Including ungauged catchments Water transport Uncertainty Improved hydro scheduling tools Improved temporal resolution Integrating various constraints Inflow dependent constraints Showing environmental impacts of hydro operations Uncertainty 14

15 BirdWind research at Smøla 15

16 OPTIPOL power line rights of way; wildlife; biotopes 16 Develop planning tools for optimal choice of power line rights of way Develop planning tools for optimal choice of power line rights of way Find solutions to reduce conflicts between transmission lines and wildlife

17 GOVREP GOVernance for Renewable Electricity Production 17 How to reconcile environmental- and energy policy concerns? Enabling a more effective realization of both energy- and environmental objectives as agreed upon by the Parliament

18 GOVREP WP3: Renewable energy production and environmental protection measures 18 Case studies from large- and small-scale hydropower and wind power Environmental Impact Assessment studies and keydecision making factors Coordination of laws and rules Influence from stakeholders and others for decision-making

19 More environmentally sound electricity production will be promoted due to: 19 National renewable electricity targets A proposed Green certificate market from 2012 Implementation of the EU directive on renewables (RES) from 2011: The RES Directive aims at achieving 20 % RES of total net energy consumption in the EU by 2020, as well as 10 % for the transport sector. Binding national targets. t Sweden has 49%. Norway s target t not yet decided! d! National action plans to be published before 30 June Norway intends to follow this schedule.

20 and the environment must be protected 20 Electricity from renewable sources will be promoted to combat climate change, but other environmental policy challenges are still prevailing The EU Water Framework Directive: Requires a more coherent management of watercourses Including new environmental quality standards that may influence revisions of hydro power concessions. Need to identify appropriate and effective measures to reconcile environmentaland energy policy concerns!

21 In situ study Laboratory Model simulation 21 Demon nstratio on

22 22 Information and dissemination Scientific production quality and relevance Society interactions enhance result implementation improve communication between a diversity of stakeholders a major access point for solutions of environmental problems Activities: A combination of one-way information, and active two-way way communication or dialogue activities Targets: End-users including the industry, decision makers and authorities, the wider public, media and the scientific community
