The efficiency paradox of discharge masking head loss in run-of-river hydropower generation

Abstract While climate impacts on hydropower output are well-documented, plant efficiency, the critical ratio of electrical energy generated to hydraulic energy input, remains an underexplored metric, particularly in data-limited regions. This study analyzes the efficiency dynamics of the Ruzizi I p...
