De bibliotheek van KWR

"Hydrological forecasts have significantly improved in skill over recent years, encouraging their systematic exploitation in multipurpose reservoir operations to improve reliability and resilience to extreme events. Despite the growing availability of multi‐timescale forecasts, there is still a lack of transparent and integrated methods for selecting the most suitable forecast products, variables, and lead times for specific operational challeng…

GENEVA – Climate changes, with stronger winds, prolonged rains or increased solar radiation, can be used in the planning and management of renewable energies, raised a report released by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). Seasonal weather forecasts “allow interested parties to anticipate fluctuations in supply and demand [...] This article Energy transition can benefit from climate change was originally published in IPS News Agency

The transition to renewable energy sources is increasingly relying on meteorological information. This is a way to take advantage of extreme weather conditions to generate electricity. In this sense, a drier climate can generate more solar energy, impacts from the El Niño phenomenon can boost wind energy and exceptional patterns […]

The Office of the Attorney General issued a circular with the aim of promoting an energy sector that balances energy sovereignty with the environmental, social and economic sustainability of projects in the country. The guideline establishes guidelines to strengthen the implementation of the energy transition and ensure that the development of the sector respects the rights of communities and the environment. The document urges public entities i…
