Session 20: Panel DiscussionPlanning and Operation of Pumped-storageLed by: Dr. Gaudenz Koeppel, Alpiq, Switzerland and Bruno Trouille, MWH, USAassisted by experts from UK, Portugal, Spain, and GermanyForecasting the operational dispatch and value of pumped storage has become an increasinglydifficult task because of the many uncertainties related to future commodity prices, marketstructures as well as penetration and real-time dispatch of Renewable Energies (wind, solar, etc).Experts from the USA and Europe will discuss their experience and today's challenges inoptimizing the planning and operation of pumped-storage projects.A set of relevant questions will be put to the panellists. For each question, the panellists will makesome introductory remarks, followed by an open forum with the audience. Comments on theexpected technical performance and revenues associated with various modes of operation(energy arbitrage, ancillary services, capacity markets, etc) will be strongly encouraged.This is a continuation of last year’s panel discussion where input from utilities, private developers,equipment suppliers, lenders and others involved in pumped-storage development and operationresulted in a valuable discussion.Session 21: Panel DiscussionCapacity Building - Challenges and Solutions for AfricaChairman: A. Nombre, Chairman, ICOLD Committee on Capacity BuildingOnly 20 per cent of people on the African continent have access to modern forms of electricity,compared with 50 per cent in Asia, and 80 per cent in Latin America. The link between electricitysupply and socio-economic development/poverty alleviation is clear. Meanwhile, the untappedhydro potential of Africa is vast, major projects have been identified, and efforts in many countriesto improve the framework and climate for investment are beginning to show good results.But many challenges remain, in terms of developing the necessary capacity to plan, develop andaccelerate much needed water and energy schemes. This interactive panel discussion betweenAfrican utilities, international financiers, consultants and others, will explore what can be done tosupport the development of the capacity needed to advance hydropower development in the lessdeveloped countries of Africa. Panellists will include representatives of Ethiopia, Burkina Faso,Uganda, DRC and others.Session 22: Panel DiscussionTaking Care of our Cultural HeritageChair: Karin Seelos, Statkraft, Norway• Having provided reliable service for decades, many original hydraulic installations are reachingthe end of their useful life. A decision has to be made about which parts to conserve, which parts tomodernize and which parts to remove. What are the owner’s policies and criteria for preservationand what guidelines are provided by authorities (national and UNESCO)? If the originalpowerhouses are declared industrial patrimony or world heritage sites, what are the models forsustainable cost management (good practice examples – for example public-private partnership)?• After more than a century of continuous activities, the hydropower community has enteredinto a historical momentum where its early endeavours and milestones have to be conserved forfuture generations. What initiatives have been taken so far? What is underway in differentcountries? What has worked well and what could be improved in the future?The preservation of industrial patrimony is often considered an additional burden to owners andoperators. But conservation activities provide an excellent opportunity to raise awareness outsidethe hydropower community about the positive contributions our industry makes to sustain highliving standards of a modern civilisation.This session aims to identify ways on how situations which are beneficial to all may be created bypreserving important parts of our industry’s value creation for future generations withoutimposing further restrictions to renewable power generation.WEDNESDAY 19 OCTOBER ~ MORNINGSession 23: Tunnels, Penstocks and GateworksChairman: (To be confirmed)❚❘ Headrace tunnel of the Tapovan Vishnugad project task and challenges – G.
