1、Smart hydropowerTechnology and Market Outlook PaperWe support the Sustainable Development Goals3Executive summaryThe intensifying global warming and energy crisis are speeding transformation of the worlds power systems and energy structures toward low-carbon goals.However,severe challenges will cert

2、ainly arise due to access of massive amounts of variable and renewable energy into power systems.Establishing a zero-carbon power system is essential to promote sustainable development and to achieve carbon neutrality.But that systematic process will be complicated.It is necessary for system designe

3、rs to deliberate and balance a safe and steady power supply,acknowledging the rising proportion of new types of energy and keeping a reasonable cost for the entire power system.As an integral part of a zero-carbon power system,hydropower will serve as a technically mature,widely applied,economical a

4、nd flexibly regulated power source.Due to different levels of economic development and hydropower resources,countries around the world exhibit different trends in hydropower development.In developed regions like Europe and North America with their huge hydropower stocks,upgrading their systems is an

5、 urgent task.Developing countries in Latin America,Southeast Asia and Africa,meanwhile,are in an earlier stage of rapid development of hydropower.With the global pursuit of carbon neutrality,a zero-carbon power system will have hydropower requirements for greater flexibility,reliability and safety.H

6、ydropower is also facing new challenges brought by climate change,energy market changes and disaster risk on a global scale.Looking to the future,global hydropower will become smarter.The development of technology,connectivity,and the integration of hydropower and advanced information technology hav
