Description: | Click here to connect to the live eventCONTEXTThe HydroES 2021 conference is part of a conference series organized by the SHF over the past ten years with many French and European partners and sponsors. This 7th session will be devoted to "Hydropower, a catalyst for the energy transition in Europe" in partnership with the Hydropower Europe Forum and France Hydro Electricité (FHE). A full day, on September 22, is dedicated to the dissemination of the results of the Research and Innovation Agenda and the Strategic Industry Roadmap, prepared for Europe, by the HYDROPOWER EUROPE forum. In the field of energy production, hydroelectricity remains an excellent tool to support the energy transition and the fight against global warming. Hydropower alone produces three quarters of renewable electricity in the world and still has strong development potential. The hydropower sector should contribute in a major way towards decarbonizing electricity generation systems and should continue to play an important role in economic development. However, it is clear that the deployment of hydroelectricity encounters a number of obstacles and resistance linked, in particular, to better consideration of environmental and societal issues. OBJECTIVESThe objective of this conference is to present technical, scientific and innovation progress in this sector, for consideration when addressing these obstacles. It is about highlighting the role and advantages of hydroelectricity in an energy system that is undergoing significant change. This conference will attempt to shed new light on the following questions: Faced with the increase in power supply from intermittent renewable energy sources (wind, solar, etc.), the flexibility of hydropower means that hydroelectricity can play a significant role in regulating the electricity network?
PROGRAMME AND TOPICSThe event runs from 22-24th September 2021 comprising: 22nd September 2021A special one-day session will be allocated to the presentation of the work of the HYDROPOWER EUROPE Forum set up by the European Union’s HORIZON 2020 Research and Innovation Programme.
