Hydropower is the most important energy source in Norway. The majority of the hydropower productions comes from the largest hydropower plants, with the largest dams. However, a considerable portion also comes from so-called small-scale power plants. These often have small or no dams, produce less electricity than the large plants, but also leave a smaller footprint on nature.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this project, we work together with Sm\u00e5kraft, Norway\u2019s largest producer of hydropower from small-scale plants. We develop models for producing reliable predictions of both historical and future water flow in small river catchments, with few or no historical streamflow observations. This can result in better estimates of the hydropower potential for an ungauged river catchment, and improved predictions of how much hydropower will be produced in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
