Hydropower’s flexibility is central to enhancing all these contributions. Through the three Topic Areas identified below, this FOA will develop a suite of advancements that improve hydropower flexibility at multiple scales: improved components within the plant, improved hybridized capabilities at the plant interconnection, and improved operations across the fleet. 1. Hydropower Hybrids Demonstration 2. Technologies to Increase Flexibility 3.
