Meeting Demands for
a Changing World
International Conference and Exhibition
Lisbon, Portugal ~ 27-29 September 2010
Organized by:
with
In the wake of a global financial crisis, with the additional concerns of environmental protection
and anticipated effects of climate change, and power shortages hampering socio-economic
development in some parts of the world, hydropower development has many solutions to
offer. The hydro profession is responding to the needs of a changing world,with innovations in
planning methods, environmental assessments, technological innovation, approaches to
financing strategies, and optimized use of existing assets.
HYDRO 2010 will review progress and achievements, as well as needs and future challenges.
As usual, the Conference will focus strongly on the needs, priorities and plans of the developing
countries of Africa, Asia and Latin America, and discussions will cover technical, economic,
commercial and environmental/social aspects.
A major Technical Exhibition will run alongside the Conference and a full social programme will
offer extra networking opportunities.
SUPPORTING ORGANIZATIONS INCLUDE:
HYDRO 2010 VENUE
PORTUGAL AND HYDROPOWER
The development of new hydro schemes and project
upgrades are major priorities for the Portuguese power
sector. Portugal’s most important electricity producer, EDP,
our co-host for HYDRO 2010, has an existing portfolio of 74
hydro plants, totalling more than 4700 MW. The company
plans to commission at least 22 new hydro generating units
by 2018. This will increase capacity by about 3000 MW.

Portugal will therefore have much to show, and to discuss,
during HYDRO 2010, as the programme on the following
pages shows. Study tours will visit some of the multipurpose hydro and pumped-storage schemes in
various parts of the country.
Porto
SPAIN
The capital of Portugal since its conquest from the Moors in
1147, Lisbon is a legendary city with more than 20 centuries
MOROCCO
of history. In its golden age, the city gained a reputation as
the eighth wonder of the world. As one of the greatest maritime centres in history, the Portuguese capital imported exotic wares from the distant parts of its empire,
marking a new era in world trade. Lisbon offers a mix of traditional and modern architecture: Many medieval façades and old palaces have been restored,
19th-century Art Nouveau buildings can still be found and there are also modern museums and galleries. The majestic Vasco de Gama Bridge across the Tagus is
an outstanding landmark. The Congress Centre is on the bank of the Tagus, close to the charming old quarter, Belem.
Lisbon Portela airport is just 7 km north of the city, and connects with 84 international cities.
AQUA-MEDIA AND THE HYDRO CONFERENCES
Aqua-Media has been recognized during 2009 for the contribution the company makes to sustainable hydropower development. The company received the
Turkish Prime Minister’s Water Prize (during the World Water Forum in Istanbul) and two India Power awards (during the Green Power VI conference in New
Delhi). The annual Hydro Conferences represent an important part of Aqua-Media’s role in promoting the benefits of well conceived hydro schemes.
HYDRO 2010 will be the 17th event in this annual series. The events, supported by international professional associations such as ICOLD, IEA, IWRA and ESHA,
have steadily increased in size, scope and format. HYDRO 2009 in Lyon attracted 1750 delegates from a record 94 countries, making it the most international
large-scale conference specifically devoted to hydropower. A similar gathering is expected in Lisbon.
HYDRO 2010 MISSION
As hydropower development begins a new wave of development, with greater universal recognition of its multiple benefits and its vital role in sustainable development,
there are still many parts of the world with vast hydropower potential, where large proportions of the population still lack a reliable electricity supply.
Our regional sessions in Lisbon will focus on Africa, Asia and Latin America. There will also be a session on current schemes in Europe, with a particular focus on
repowering schemes in Portugal. The format of 2010 will comprise not only valuable technical presentations on a wide range of current topics, but also high-level
panel debates and inter-active workshops. Some special topics will be:
• Lessons learned from the accident at Sayano Shushensk in Russia, with a panel
debate to follow about powerplant safety
• A debate on various models and approaches to water rights and hydropower
concessions
• A workshop on current research on carbon emissions from reservoirs
• A discussion on dam safety
• A workshop on flow measurement
The programme aims to address practical issues, and to help turn
positive policies into concrete actions.

Session 18 – Workshop on Carbon Emissions
Led by: Dr Albert C. Geber de Melo, CEPEL, Brazil
Discussions on the potential impact of freshwater reservoirs on the environment continue. Measurements, analysis and research have been carried out
by different groups around the world on reservoir emissions in temperate
and tropical regions. However, to date, there is no consensus on protocols
that will deliver consistent, credible and acceptable results.
The IEA Hydropower Implementing Agreement (IEA Hydro), representing its
member countries, has started a new Annex on “Managing the Carbon Balance in Freshwater Reservoirs”, to be managed CEPEL, Brazil.
The objectives of the Annex will be achieved through a comprehensive
work programme to:
• increase knowledge of the reservoir emission processes,
• establish guidelines for planning studies on the carbon balance in reservoirs,
• standardize GHG flux evaluation methods, and
• develop an accepted methodology to measure and manage the carbon
balance in reservoirs

2010, with a chance to catch up with old friends, and make
new contacts, in the international hydropower community.
Originally regarded as one of the largest and richest of
Lisbon’s convents, Convento do Beato was built in the XV
century in a place where there was once was a small chapel
devoted to São Bento. Its history dates back to 1455, when
Queen D. Isabel, wife of D. Afonso V, got permission from the
abott of the Monastery of Alcobaça to build a hospice for the
‘Bons Homens de Vilar’ (Good Men of Vilar). When the Queen
died, a legacy of 8000 golden crowns was left to pay for the
completion of the work. The building later became a convent.
Thanks to its solid structure, it withstood the great earthquake
of 1755.
The buidling was later partly destroyed in a major
PRE-CONFERENCE EXCURSION IN LISBON
Sunday 26 September - Half day with lunch
An optional local excursion will be available for all HYDRO
2010 participants on the afternoon of Sunday 26 September,
which will provide the opportunity to see some of the main

A highlight of the excursion will then be a visit to EDP’s Electricity Museum (see photo right). This Museum is located inside the old Tejo thermal power station), an architectural
landmark with a facade of red brick, iron, and glass. The
plant dates to 1908, when a small power station was built to
supply Lisbon with electricity and to power gaslights. It was
enlarged in 1919, when two generators and six low-pressure
boilers were installed. The Tejo plant remained fully operational until 1954, and eventually closed down in 1975 and
reopened in 1991 as the Electricity Museum. Exhibits today
are devoted to the history of energy development in Portugal,
and highlight the current and future role of renewable energy sources The main part of the permanent exhibition is
the old power station, which still contains all its generating
equipment (a high-pressure boiler made by the Babcock &
Wilcox Company of Britain) and groups of turbo-alternators.
sada are on a hill top overlooking the city and the Tagus river,
and after lunch there will be an opportunity to walk around,
and to make a short visit to the castle. The castle’s strongly
fortified citadel dates from medieval times in its present form.
Historical research has shown that the site has been occupied
by humans since the sixth century BC. From the 14th to 16th
century, the castle served as a royal palace, and was the setting for the reception of the navigator Vasco da Gama, when
he returned after discorvering a maritime route to India.

make your reservation at the nearest available alternative.
Disclaimer
All best endeavours will be made to present the programme as printed.
The HYDRO 2010 organizers and their agents reserve the right to alter or
cancel, without prior notice, any arrangements, timetable, plans or other
items relating directly or indirectly to HYDRO 2010 for any cause beyond
