VASO 2 - Huvudrapport (engelsk version)

| 1995:2V | Malte Cedereström
Most of the development of hydropower and construction of large dams in Sweden took place after World War II, reaching a peak during the 50’s and 60’s. The principles for the design and construction of dams during this period of intensive building are still largely valid.
\u003Cp\u003EAs in many other countries, in Sweden we have re-evaluated the methods previously used for determining the design flows of dam facilities. The power industry and SMHI have, via the guidelines from the Committee for Design Flood Determination, agreed on new guidelines for this purpose, which in some respects has resulted in a new approach. The new guidelines mean that higher runoffs will have to be coped with that was previously the case, and consequently in several cases various kinds of improvements will need to be made to the dams.\u003C/p\u003E

    Impact of Climate Change on Dam Safety

    Knowledge about the climate and its changes is in strong development and the effects of a changing climate are relevant from a dam safety perspective, with discharge capacity and discharge safety in particular focus. In this project, current and relevant information has been compiled to lay a foundation for strategic climate adaptation work regarding dams.

    Distributed Acoustic Sensing for Detection of Defects 2022-874

    Optiska fibrer finns i flertalet fyllningsdammar i Sverige och är numera så gott som standard vid ombyggnad och nybyggnad. Fibrerna användas vanligen för detektion av vattenströmning och rörelser, men kan i många fall även användas för distribuerad akustisk mätning (Distributed Acoustic Sensing).

    Simulator, River Flood and Accident Simulator 1998-25

    De senaste åren har det blivit en ökad uppmärksamhet på säkerheten längs våra vattendrag och kraftbolagen och andra regulanter i vattendragen håller kontinuerliga övningar där det tränas beredskap vid högflödes- och olyckssituationer knutna till regleringsanläggningen.
