Responses of hydroelectricity generation to streamflow drought under climate change

Hydropower is a key renewable energy source. It is widely developed worldwide to reduce carbon emissions and mitigate climate change. Hydroelectric generation (HG) is highly susceptible to streamflow and is negatively affected by streamflow droughts. However, there is a lack of studies on the impact of streamflow drought on HG in the coming future period under climate change. Therefore, to address the above challenge, an HG model is constructed …
