水电对于欧洲内部的电力供应安全以及拥有水资源的地区（主要是周边地区）的经济非常重要。然而，它的未来可能会受到几个因素的威胁：气候变化，新的可再生能源的开发，超级和微型电网的建立，以及电力存储技术的进步。能源和气候政策以及电力市场的设计和动态发挥着关键作用。本文对所有这些因素进行了综合分析，并讨论了水电的未来。本讨论是在概述目前情况和未来驱动因素之后进行的。技术，环境，经济和政治方面的问题进行了分析与跨学科的方法。结论是，水电有一个充满希望的未来，特别是考虑到新兴的可持续能源政策，但风险不应被忽视。学术界将在本文中找到对水电的全面跨学科分析，而公共机构，社区和水电公司可以确定在决策过程中应该考虑的战略变量。还要求终止水特许权或授权。(C)2013爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
Hydropower is very important for electricity supply security in the European inter-connexion as well as for the economy of regions (primarily peripheral) that possess water resources. Its future may however be jeopardized by several factors: climate change, the development of new renewable energy, the creation of super and micro-grids, and progress in power storage technology. Energy and climate policy, as well as electricity market design and dynamics play a pivotal role.This article carries out a comprehensive analysis of all these factors and discusses the future of hydropower. This discussion follows an overview of the present situation and of future drivers. The technical, environmental, economic and political aspects of the problem are analyzed with an interdisciplinary approach. The stakes as well as the uncertainties are highlighted.The conclusion is that hydropower has a promising future, particularly in light of emerging sustainable energy policy, but that the risks should not be overlooked. Academics will find a comprehensive interdisciplinary analysis of hydropower in this article, whereas public bodies, communities and hydropower companies can identify the strategic variables that should be taken into consideration in the decision making process. The end of water concessions or authorizations is also evoked. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
