Development of a Semi-distributed Hydrological Model for Glaciated Punatshangchu Basin in Bhutan

Giovanni De Cesare, Pedro Filipe De Almeida Manso, Jessica Zordan

Hydropower plays a pivotal role in the socio-economic development of Bhutan where water resource is abundantly available and therefore several hydropower plants are being planned and a few under construction. However, with the presence of several potential ...

Hydraulic transients in straight and coil pipe rigs

Anton Schleiss, Pedro Filipe De Almeida Manso, David Ferràs Segura

Transient pressure waves in real pipe systems are affected by several phenomena not accounted for in the classic waterhammer theory. Damping mechanisms are differently manifested according to the material, configuration and existing features of pipe system ...

Effects of flow guide walls on sediment flushing in peaking hydropower reservoirs

Giovanni De Cesare, Pedro Filipe De Almeida Manso, Romain Nathan Hippolyte Merlin Van Mol

Reservoir sedimentation is known to be a key issue worldwide. One operational measure to deal with sediment accumulations is flushing; however, efficiency is often lacking. The goal of this study is thus to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of flush ...

Stress intensity factors for axial semi-elliptical surface cracks and embedded elliptical cracks at longitudinal butt welded joints of steel-lined pressure tunnels and shafts considering weld shape

Anton Schleiss, Pedro Filipe De Almeida Manso, Alexandre Jean Pachoud

When for steel liners of pressure tunnels and shafts high-strength steels are used, welded joints are subject to the risk of hydrogen induced cold-cracking in the base material. Longitudinal butt welded joints are critical regions as they are loaded transv ...

Innovative methods to release fine sediments from reservoirs developed at EPFL, Switzerland

Anton Schleiss, Giovanni De Cesare, Pedro Filipe De Almeida Manso, Azin Amini, Sabine Chamoun

Electricity generation, water supply, flood protection, flow regulation and navigation are amongst the main services provided by reservoirs. Sedimentation affects the sustainability of reservoirs, by reducing their storage capacity, and increases the negat ...

Hydropeaking mitigation measures in the Swiss Upper-Rhône basin

Pedro Filipe De Almeida Manso, Sabine Chamoun

Hydropower operations can cause hydropeaking particularly in the case of pumped storage systems located in mountainous regions. Due to the rapidly varying discharge conditions, hydropeaking leads to several problems such as stranding of fishes and inverteb ...

Impacts du changement climatique sur la production hydroélectrique alpine : comment une nouvelle retenue à Oberaletsch pourrait garantir la gestion durable des installations existantes

Anton Schleiss, Pedro Filipe De Almeida Manso, Fränz Zeimetz

Suite à décision du Conseil Fédéral de sortir du nucléaire, l’hydroélectricité suisse jouera un rôle central pour réussir la transition énergétique. Cependant, le changement climatique semble avoir un impact négatif sur la production hydraulique à long ter ...

Synergies entre la production hydroélectrique et la protection contre les crues : cas d'étude de la Sihl en Suisse

Anton Schleiss, Pedro Filipe De Almeida Manso, Frédéric Jordan, Fränz Zeimetz

Située à la confluence de deux cours d'eau – la Limmat et la Sihl – la ville de Zurich a toujours dû faire face aux crues. Suite aux crues de 2005, un projet de dérivation de la Sihl vers le lac de Zurich en amont de la ville a été lancé. En alternative à ...

Advanced models for stress evaluation and safety assessment in steel-lined pressure tunnels

Anton Schleiss, Pedro Filipe De Almeida Manso, Alexandre Jean Pachoud

An accurate estimation of the stress in a steel liner is required for the design of steel-lined pressure shafts, both with regard to safety assessment of ageing steel-lined waterways of hydropower plants built in the 20th century, and for new projects whic ...
