- This paper investigates the transient safety levels of HSGs, contributing novel components to state-of-the-art dynamic safety assessment methods. Using results of quantitative risk assessments, risk mitigation and maintenance improvement suggestions are made to enhance HGS safety of operation, reduce likelihood of losses in power production and optimize maintenance schedules for efficient resource use. It was supported by NSFC and EC JRC ISPRA, feeding directly into their recent publication “Analysis of emerging technologies in the hydropower sector” and their forthcoming “Retrofitting of existing hydropower plants with focus on the European context: trends, guidelines and challenges” which directly references this work.
