Overview

Randomized trial reveals integrated benefits of small hydropower refurbishment in rural China, indicating improvement in local energy and food stability.

Key Points

  • This research aims to evaluate the integrated benefits of refurbishing small hydropower systems in rural China.
  • Integrated qualitative Gioia method and game-theory-based weighted DEMATEL model.
  • Developed a benefit evaluation framework using multi-attribute decision-making based on Gray Pythagorean Fuzzy Hesitant Fuzzy Sets.
  • Evaluated refurbishment benefits across five regionally representative plants.
  • Refurbishment creates a water-energy-food integrated benefit structure, with water as the nexus and energy as the medium.
  • Identified key driver benefits include management capacity improvement and ecological flow regulation.
  • Geographical context and community infrastructure significantly influence refurbishment benefits.
