The Research Center for Sustainable Hydropower is a scientific institution dedicated to advancing the green transition and high-quality development of the hydropower industry. Comprising three core departments—the Strategic Planning Research Office, the Policy and Standards Research Office, and the Ecological Protection Research Office. It focuses on three key domains: theoretical frameworks for sustainable hydropower evaluation, policy and regulatory system development, and ecological conservation technologies. The research scope covers strategic planning for sustainable hydropower, integrated water-wind-solar systems, ecological photovoltaic, environmental impact assessments, ecological restoration techniques (e.g., migratory fish protection, reservoir drawdown zone management), greenhouse gas monitoring and mitigation, as well as digital simulation and AI applications. Through multidisciplinary integration and industry-academia-research collaboration, the center develops systematic solutions for ecological, low-carbon, and intelligent hydropower development, effectively supporting the national "Dual Carbon" strategy and ecological civilization goals.
