Flexible Composite Diversion Water Conduits of Small HPPs for Recreational Facilities in the Republic of North Ossetia

摘要

This article is devoted to the substantiation of the application of flexible diversion multi-shell water channels from composite materials for mobile micro-and small hydropower plants for the recreational zones of the Republic of North Ossetia (Alania). A comparison is made of steel, polyethylene, and fiberglass pipelines of various diameters currently used to manufacture diversion conduits according to weight, cost, and strength characteristics and hydraulic conditions of work and empirical dependencies used later to assess the effectiveness of their use in various sections of the designed conduit are defined. New technical solutions for creating flexible pipelines for the implementation of the derivation are proposed. A comparative analysis of existing technical solutions of shell structures from flexible composite materials as well as calculated positions for determining their optimal parameters while ensuring operational reliability is given. New technical solutions for the flexible diversion water conduit, its advantages, as well as the issues of construction and ensuring reliability in construction under conditions of geological phenomena, were reviewed.
