IHE Delft 💧 Low-land hydropower: theory and practice seminar
Channel: IHE Delft Institute for Water Education
Date: 2018-09-27

Generating renewable energy from water is often considered unfeasible in flat, low-land regions. However, there are plenty of opportunities to tap into the power produced by rivers, waves and tides. 

On September 20th, IHE Delft, the Netherlands Center for Rivers Studies and the Netherlands Centre for Coastal Research brought together the practical and the academic world in the field of water and energy generation.

Speakers:
02:50 - Miroslav Marence (IHE Delft): Introduction in low-head hydropower and applications
35:09 - Dennis de Ruiter (EQA Projects): Example kinetic hydropower - EQA-River
55:14 - Herman Mondeel (Witteveen+Bos): Identification and assessment of hydropower potential in Sierra Leone
1:20:31 - Jorn Baayen (KISTERS and Deltares): Flexible operation of low-land hydropower
1:37:29 - Peter Scheijgrond (Dutch Marine Energy): Wave and tide hydropower: frontiers and knowledge gaps (pdf not yet available) 
2:20:35 - Maximo Peviani (RSE –Ricerca sul Sistema Energetico): WaveSAX, an innovative wave energy generator
2:46:55 - Merel Verbeek (TU Delft): Learning from the first deployments of tidal stream turbines
