Abstract

Proizvodnja električne energije iz hidroelektrana važan je i nezaobilazan izvor električne energije u svijetu. Hidroelektrane su tokom povijesti imale svojih uspona i padova, od naglog porasta kapaciteta sredinom prošlog stoljeća, do stagnacije zbog sve veće zabrinutosti vezane uz štetne posljedice na okoliš i društvo potkraj stoljeća. Hidroelektrane imaju sposobnost pohrane dijela energije i uključivanja u mrežu u vrlo kratkom roku čime doprinose efikasnosti drugih obnovljivih izvora energije i stabilnosti cjelokupnog elektroenergetskog sustava. U Hrvatskoj je udio hidroelektrana u ukupnim instaliranim kapacitetima veći od 50%, tako da proizvodnja električne energije na području RH uvelike ovisi o hidrološkim prilikama. Kada je riječ o preostalom hidropotencijalu, razvijene zemlje su iskoristile većinu najpogodnijih mjesta za izgradnju, dok se u nerazvijenim zemljama porast instaliranih kapaciteta može vidjeti iz godine u godinu. Cilj izrade ovog rada je dobiti uvid u kojoj mjeri i na koji način hidroelektrane doprinose fleksibilnosti elektroenergetskog sustava sa sve većim udjelom obnovljivih izvora, a posebice vjetroelektrana.

Abstract (english)

The production of electricity by hydropower plants is an important and essential source of electricity in the world. Hydropower plants have historically had their ups and downs, from a sharp increase in capacity in the middle of the last century, to stagnation due to growing concerns about the harmful effects on the environment and society at the turn of the century. Hydropower plants have the ability to store part of the energy and connect to the grid in a very short time, thus contributing to the efficiency of other renewable energy sources and the stability of the entire power system. In Croatia, the share of hydropower plants in the total installed capacity is higher than 50%, and the production of electricity in the territory of the Republic of Croatia largely depends on hydrological conditions. When it comes to the remaining hydro potential, developed countries have used large part of the most suitable places for construction, while in underdeveloped countries, an increase in installed capacity can be seen every year. The aim of this paper is to gain insight into the extent to which hydropower plants contribute to the flexibility of the power system with increasing shares of renewable sources, especially wind farms.
