Navigating Energy-Environment Tradeoffs: A Deep Dive into the New Flexibility Assessment Tool

Come learn about the Energy Flexibility-Environment Tradeoff Tool, a practical software toolkit designed to evaluate the trade-offs between hydropower energy production and environmental outcomes. This tool links hydropower flow decisions to both power system metrics and ecological impacts, enabling users to simultaneously assess how operational changes affect fish habitats and generation revenues.

• Comprehensive Analysis: Links hydropower flow decisions to both power system metrics and ecological impacts.
• Impact Assessment: Enables users to assess how operational changes affect fish habitats and generation revenues.
• Advanced Modeling: Incorporates flow velocity and depth preference data for fish, allowing for detailed environmental flow analysis.
• Decision Support: Aids in informed decision-making within hydropower regulatory processes.

Join us to learn how this resource can enhance your understanding of sustainable hydropower management while promoting a balanced approach to energy decisions and environmental stewardship.
