Hydropower potential in the upper Indus basin under historical hydro-climatology

Updated Date: 1/5/2024 10:52:23 AM

The hydropower potential in the upper Indus basin under historical hydro-climatology was prepared using the Hydropower Potential Exploration (HyPE) model. Under historical hydro-climatology, the HyPE model was run to explore theoretical potential followed by technical, financial and sustainable potential under two types of hydropower development policy scenarios. The energy focus scenarios (Large/Medium/Mixed) explored the impact of different scales of hydropower development. Additionally, for sustainable potential, the geo-hazard risk representation scenarios (Risk-averse/Cost-based/Multi-hazard) evaluated three ways to represent geo-hazard risk in hydropower development policies. Furthermore, historical analysis quantified technical, financial and sustainable potential under full and remaining cases. This dataset was produced under WorkPackage 2 of the SustainIndus project.

Hydropower potential in the upper Indus basin under historical hydro-climatology
Schema iso19139
Purpose The dataset shows the change in hydropower potential available for exploitation under changes in physical, technical, financial, environmental and sustainability policy constraints. The scenario outputs provide basis for formulating hydropower development policies that promote sustainable hydropower.
