Mitigation of Hydropeaking in a Complex Riverine System: A State-of-the-Art Modelling Approach: A quantitative study with HEC-RAS modelling on hydropeaking by means of a case study in the Kalajoki basin (northern Finland)

Hydropeaking is a widely applied management practice in the generation of hydropower. When the demand in electricity is high, the operator of a hydropower plant rapidly increases released discharges to meet this demand. Vice versa, when the demand is low, no or less water is released. However, while river regulation practices offer valuable...
