Optimizing Reservoir Water Management in a Changing Climate
Beça, Pedro; Rodrigues, António C.; Nunes, João Pedro; Diogo, Paulo; Mujtaba, BabarOne of the UN agenda 2030 Sustainable Development goals is associated with water availability and its sustainable management. The present study intends to improve multipurpose reservoir management under climate change scenarios in water scarce regions such as the Mediterranean. Implemented methods include the sequential use of climate model results, hydrological modelling, and reservoir water balance simulation...

Simulated hydropower production under climate change scenarios at Torrão reserv...
Diogo, Paulo; Mujtaba, Babar; Beça, Pedro; Simoes, Sofia; Fortes, Patricia; Amorim, FilipaABSTRACT: Climate conditions have a significant impact on energy demand and production. The project CLIM2POWER, completed in 2021, aimed to develop a climate service at European scale for the planning of the power infrastructures operations using seasonal forecasts and long-term climate projections. This work presents part of the project, and focus on assessing the climate change impacts on hydropower productio...
How sensitive is a carbon-neutral power sector to climate change? The interplay...
Fortes, Patricia; Simoes, Sofia; Amorim, Filipa; Siggini, Gildas; Sessa, Valentina; Saint-Drenan, Yves-Marie; Carvalho, Silvia; Mujtaba, BabarABSTRACT: Climate change will impact renewable resources and electricity demand, usually not jointly considered when designing future decarbonized power systems. This paper assesses how sensitive the Portuguese carbon-neutral power sector is to climate change by 2050 and what are the implications for the formally approved Portuguese Carbon Neutrality Roadmap. The future capacity factors for wind, solar and hydr...

Seasonal Forecast Climate Data and Hydropower Production in the Douro Basin, in...
Diogo, Paulo; Beça, Pedro; Simoes, Sofia; Amorim, Filipa; Mujtaba, BabarABSTRACT: The project CLIM2POWER aims at developing a climate service including state-of-the art seasonal climate forecasts in the planning of the operation of the power systems. This work presents part of the project, addressing the forecasting of the hydropower generation in a case study area, the Portuguese part of the transboundary Douro River basin. Rainfall-runoff modelling was performed on a daily scale ...
Impacts of climate change on reservoir water availability, quality and irrigati...
Rocha, João; Carvalho-Santos, Cláudia; Diogo, Paulo; Beça, Pedro; Keizer, Jan Jacob; Nunes, João PedroFuture climate for the Mediterranean climatic region is expected to bring an increase in temperatures, decrease in the precipitation quantity and shifts in the seasonal precipitation pattern. Although the impacts of climate change on water resources have been relatively well explored for the Mediterranean climatic region, the specific consequences for reservoirs and, in particular, water availability and irriga...
