It is not possible solely due to demographic pressure, but also due to expansion of living standards within the less developed countries. Hydropower has reached high levels of technical sophistication in power generation as compared with other renewable energy sources. The paper discusses recent hydropower optimization research and development activities using metaheuristic approach. The article discusses emerging attempts to promote the optimization of hydropower. It provides a comprehensive analysis of recent attempts to extend the operating policies of hydraulic structures to reach extraordinary degrees of versatility, a subject of many recent research projects using metaheuristic algorithms. In addition, groundbreaking technologies for hydroelectric energy production are also discussed with the study based on reservoir operation and scheduling of flow and energy. © 2020 The Authors date: 2020 publisher: Elsevier Ltd official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85089671019&doi=10.1016%2fj.egyr.2020.08.009&partnerID=40&md5=f741386c65d468aa9eb84d1d74e0a645 id_number: 10.1016/j.egyr.2020.08.009 full_text_status: none publication: Energy Reports volume: 6 pagerange: 2230-2248 refereed: TRUE issn: 23524847 citation: Azad, A.S. and A.
