Energy crisis in Brazil: Impact of hydropower reservoir level on the river flow

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors show that in humid regions, such as in Brazil, the hydropower storage reservoirs contribute to increase the flow of the river and propose strategies to allow the reservoirs to fill up and to maintain the reservoirs filled in the future.
Journal ArticleDOI

Electric Truck Hydropower, a flexible solution to hydropower in mountainous regions

TL;DR: In this article , the authors proposed an innovative solution that consists of catching water from streams at high altitudes to fill storage containers and transport them down a mountain, converting the potential energy of water into electricity with the regenerative braking systems of electric trucks and storing it in the truck's battery.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hydrogen Deep Ocean Link: a global sustainable interconnected energy grid

TL;DR: In this article , an innovative proposal for the creation of hydrogen ocean links is presented, which is performed by replacing seawater with pressurized hydrogen and maintaining the pressure in the pipes similar to the outside pressure.

Seawater air-conditioning and ammonia district cooling: A solution for warm coastal regions

TL;DR: Ammonia district cooling could be the missing piece for implementing seawater air-conditioning due to its potential to increase the cooling load of district cooling systems as mentioned in this paper . But the main challenge for this technology is to distribute the cooling service.
