As a result of the massive deforestation and windfalling in Romania last year, catastrophic
floods frequently occur with historic high-water marks only to be registered every 500 or …

This study provides a portrait of the state of impact assessment (IA) research for four types of
low carbon power production (wind, solar, small-scale hydro and small modular nuclear …

The geographical position of the Bistrita River favours a rich liquid run-off and great
hydrotechnical potential. The Bistrita drainage basin is strongly developed from the …

The water of the Bistrita River and of its main tributaries has been used to the following ends:
drinking water supply, industrial needs, household needs, agriculture, fish culture needs …

The paper presents a general approach to the steady-state efficiency analysis of one degree
of freedom (1-DOF) speed increasers with one or two inputs, and one or two outputs …

Renewable energy sources are an extremely important component of human life on today's
globe. In Ethiopia, 80 percent of the population lives in rural areas with limited access to …

A specific topical issue both for small hydropower plants and wind turbines refers to the
discrepancy between the relatively low speed of the water turbine/wind rotor and relatively …

The greatest floods on Romanian territory occurred in the past 20 years (1990–2010), and in
2005 the highest peak discharge (4,650 m 3 s− 1, exceedance probability 0.5%) was …

In Romania, the small hydro power scheme (mini-, micro-and pico-hydro power) represents
a potential renewable energy source for electrical energy. Nevertheless, this small hydro …

The paper presents a comparative study of the efficiency of a planetary speed increaser with
spur gears used in wind turbines with one rotor and a counter-rotating electric generator …
