Hydraulic structures and schemes
Hydraulic structures and schemes are vital for ensuring supply of clean and renewable energy as well as water in enough quantity and sufficient good quality in order to fight against famine, poverty and deceases in the world.
Hydropower schemes and pumped-storage
The course deals with the conception and design of hydraulic structures used for production and/or storage of electric energy, including pumped hydro energy storage (PHES). We discuss their technical/social/economical/environmental feasibility in the Swiss/European/Global energy transition.
