ETIP HYDROPOWER

欧洲雄心勃勃的能源转型计划现在寻求以安全和具有成本效益的方式实现低碳气候适应型未来，为全球树立榜样。在许多欧洲国家，已经开始逐步淘汰核能和煤炭发电，转而使用新的可再生能源，主要包括太阳能和风能发电。然而，太阳能和风能是可变的能源，很难与需求保持一致。水电在上个世纪为工业发展和福利做出了巨大贡献，它提供了确保能源安全所需的高灵活性和存储服务，并将更多的太阳能和风能输送到电网中。水电具备作为成功实现能源转型的优秀催化剂的所有特征。基于这一广泛的咨询计划，欧洲水电论坛（https://hydropower-europe.eu/）制定了2018年至2022年的研究与创新议程（RIA）以及战略行业路线图（SIR）。该联盟特别积极(1)将其RIA和SIR整合到战略能源技术（SET）计划路线图中，建立与国家当局的联系；(2)将其强大的网络整合成一个可持续的协会，不仅服务于水电行业，而且服务于整个可再生能源行业，为欧洲绿色协议做出贡献。ETIP水电将进一步调整和协调行业RIA和SIR战略，为SET计划提供基于共识的战略建议，包括市场机会分析、研发资金需求、生物多样性保护和生态连续性。另一个目标是，与欧洲和最新的欧盟气候和能源相关政策一致，加深对创新障碍和研究成果利用的理解

The ambitious plan for an energy transition in Europe now seeks to achieve a low-carbon climate-resilient future in a safe and costeffective way, serving as an example worldwide. In many European countries, the phase out of nuclear and coal generation has startedwith a transition to new renewable sources comprising mainly of solar and wind for electricity generation. However, solar and wind arevariable energy sources and difficult to align with demand. Hydropower which strongly contributed during the last century to industrialdevelopment and welfare, provides high flexibility and storage services required for ensuring energy security and delivering moresolar and wind power onto the grid. Hydropower has all the characteristics to serve as an excellent catalyst for a successful energytransition. Building from this extensive programme of consultation, the Hydropower Europe Forum (https://hydropower-europe.eu/) hasdeveloped from 2018 to 2022 a Research and Innovation Agenda (RIA) as well as a Strategic Industry Roadmap (SIR). The Consortium isparticularly motivated (1) to integrate its RIA and SIR into the Strategic Energy Technology (SET) Plan roadmap establishing links withnational authorities and (2) to consolidate its strong networks into a sustainable association serving not only the hydropower sector but thewhole renewable energy sector contributing towards the European Green Deal. Built on the more than 600 stakeholders representing allsectors, who actively participated through the Hydropower Europe Forum, ETIP HYDROPOWER will further align and coordinate theindustry RIA and SIR strategies to provide consensus-based strategic advice to the SET Plan covering analysis of market opportunitiesand R&I funding needs, biodiversity protection and ecological continuity. Another goal is, in one with Europe and the latest EU climateand energy related policies, deepening the understanding of innovation barriers and exploitation of research results
