CLIMPACT4VERBUND

The project will attempt to answer the following questions from a scientific perspective: - How will meteorological variables such as temperature, humidity, wind speed and precipitation change under climate change conditions and how will their spatial and temporal patterns behave in Austria and at the other VERBUND sites in Europe? - How will the change in meteorological variables and their direct impact on hydrology (runoff, snow and glacier melt as well as extreme events such as floods and low water) change the conditions and potential for storage and run-of-river power in the future? What impact will changes in meteorological variables have on photovoltaics, wind energy and battery storage in Austria and other VERBUND AG sites? - How will climate change affect various meteorological, hydrological and geomorphological natural hazards (landslides, mudslides, avalanches, floods, tornadoes, droughts, etc.) on the site security of Austrian energy generation? - How will sediment deposits/bedload transport and water temperature change in the course of climate change? Will weir dimensions have to be adjusted? Is sufficient water availability guaranteed at the sites with hydrogen production?
