Introduction

Turbine operations: Without modification of the water intake, the shutdown of conventional turbines is the only solution to avoid turbine passage and the corresponding fish mortality rates. This solution can in principle be effective, but can become very costly for the hydroelectric operator if the shutdowns are not targeted. The challenge is not only to target, but also to anticipate the events of downstream migration.
