The Thematic Areas
The project broadly has three thematic areas:
1. Effective Production of hydroelectricity
2. Effective Transmission of hydroelectricity
3. Effective End-use of hydroelectricity.
Under these thematic areas, the project is divided into four academic Work Packages (WP):
- WP-1 Fundamental Research on Sediment Erosion: WHU (Production)
- WP-2 Sediment Resistant Turbines: NTNU (Production)
- WP-3 Green Hydrogen: KU (End-use)
- WP-4 Power Systems Operation: USN (Transmission)
Similarly, for the effective administration, communication, and functioning of the project, the following two non-academic Work Packages (WP) provide support:
- WP-5 Communication and Dissemination: ICIMOD-HUC
- WP-6 Project Management: KU
