We then fed these climate-informed time series into Nexus-e, an electricity system modelling framework. We noticed that electricity prices respond differently depending on policy assumptions, with the strongest variation perceived in winter.

We successfully modelled generation from 600+ run-of-river plants across Switzerland (1991–2022).
At first glance, generation seems to increase, but that’s mostly due to capacity expansion.
When we isolated the hydro-climatic effects, the trend is actually slightly declining, especially in summer.

We looked at how climate change is already affecting run-of-river hydropower in Switzerland—and what that means for electricity system planning.

I was just watching the recording of the Deep Learning for Climate and Weather session @agu.org, and I could not believe the level of condescendence of some of the speakers (see screenshot). AI/ML research needs more humility and respect, we should be working hand in hand, not one against the other.
