DEVELOPMENT OF MICROHYDROPOWER PLANTS FOR SMALL RIVERS IN THE CHELYABINSK REGION MINING ZONE

Small hydroelectric power generation is attractive from both an environmental and economic point of view. Technological innovations mitigation measures are making small plants inexpensive viable source renewable energy which can be generated independently. They contribute not only to protection, but also reduce human dependence on fossil fuels. This study dedicated finding solutions based technologies using the example Chelyabinsk region. The experimental model a micro-hydroelectric station water wheel presented in this article, studies carried out basis were used carry preliminary calculations. As result, we found that such capable generating about 9–13 kW∙h, 170–266 kW∙h/day 63 99 MW∙h/year.
