Abstract: Abstract Fluctuation in hydro-electricity production is primarily attributed to natural and human-induced flow variations. Reduced electricity generation because of unavailability of flow inflicts significant upward pressure on the sources and prices. Despite studies on the impact of externalities on river flow variation, there is a distinct research gap on the responsiveness of hydropower plants to change in flow. This study has introduced a novel concept of flow elasticity of power ( e ) to assess the resilience of hydropower projects to flow...
