New Methods of Application of Micro-Hydroelectric Power Plants at Existing Hydraulic Structures: Schemes, Parameters, Efficiency

The structure of hydraulic structures power and water management systems includes gates for various purposes, which allow you to regulate distribute the flow in channels waterworks. Existing gate designs do not provide possibility generating electricity from energy stream passing through them. In order convert into electrical a new patented design is proposed allows using micro-hydroelectric plants with Banki turbine make more rational use hydro resources systems. solves problem expanding functionality increasing efficiency reduction its cost. Areas application combined at hydroelectric are also proposed. technique determining technical economic parameters installed on flat given, theoretical calculations performed, showed that higher capacity plants, shorter payback period.
