Potential increase in energy storage capacity in the Swiss Alps to support the massive development of renewables: Case study of the Grande Dixence hydropower scheme

Anton Schleiss, Pedro Filipe De Almeida Manso, Blaise Monay, Jérôme François Sylvain Dujardin

Only 42 % of the mean annual production of large hydropower plants in the Swiss Alps is stored in their reservoirs. Once the reservoirs are full at the end of the summer semester, plants are operated as run-on-the-river in order to avoid spilling. A signif ...

Structures that adapt to loads through large shape changes: design and optimization

Ian Smith, Arka Prabhata Reksowardojo, Gennaro Senatore

The construction industry is a major contributor to the consumption of mined material resources and to the global energy demand. It is thus important to consider energy and material efficiency criteria for the design of civil structures. Through sensing an ...

Blockage of driftwood and resulting head increase upstream of an ogee spillway with piers

Anton Schleiss, José Pedro Gamito de Saldanha Calado Matos, Michael Pfister, Paloma Furlan

Accumulations of floating debris in reservoirs can have negative impacts on the safe operation of a dam. Thus, adequate spillway design in view of driftwood is of paramount importance. Herein, investigation of driftwood blockage with a reservoir flow appro ...

Hydraulic-morphological habitat assessment in rivers considering residual flow, sediment replenishment and artificial flood events

Severin Stähly

Dams store water and trap sediment in their reservoirs. Downstream river segments, hence, are affected by a limited sediment dynamics. This becomes obvious by river bed incision, limited geomorphological variability and depletion of hydraulic habitats for ...

Kariba plunge pool rehabilitation

Giovanni De Cesare, Anton Schleiss, Azin Amini, Claudia Ylla Arbos, Ivan Stojnic

The Kariba Dam is a 128 m high arch dam located on the Zambezi River, between Zambia and Zimbabwe. It forms the Kariba lake, with a surface of 5400 km2 and a capacity of 185 km3. In the 20 years following dam construction, heavy rainfalls required frequent ...

Influence of density of large stems on the blocking probability at spillways

Anton Schleiss, José Pedro Gamito de Saldanha Calado Matos, Michael Pfister, Paloma Furlan

Dam safety is strongly linked to the probability of occurrence of large floods. Floods can transport large wood (LW) into reservoirs and towards water release structures as spillways. Due to blocking and clogging, LW may significantly influence the dischar ...

Rebounds of deformed cavitation bubbles

Mohamed Farhat, Danail Obreschkow, Outi Supponen

Presented here are experiments clarifying how the deformation of cavitation bubbles affects their rebound. Rebound bubbles carry the remaining energy of a bubble following its initial collapse, which dissipates energy mainly through shock waves, jets, and ...

Improvement of EIA methods for large reservoirs by using network thinking analysis approach: a case study of Azad dam, Iran

Anton Schleiss, Azin Amini, Nicolas Schmid, Yannick Fessler

Dam construction and large reservoir projects are essential for sustainable economic developments especially in developing countries like Iran. Such big projects, could have major social and environmental impacts. At this point, Environmental Impact Assess ...
