METHOD OF HYDROTURBINE UNIT OPERATION FOR CONTROLLING HYDROELECTRIC STATION DOWNSTREAM POOL WATER LEVEL AND FREE-JET HYDRO TURBINE UNIT TO THIS END

摘要

FIELD: machine building.;SUBSTANCE: invention relates to power engineering and can be used to control water level in downstream pools of operating hydro system. The proposed method consists in that the flow friction is created in the downstream pool by mounting several free-jet hydro turbine units at the riverbed with the help of piles to allow their removal and replacement in operation. The invention comprises the aforesaid free-jet hydro turbine unit to be used in the said method.;EFFECT: higher profitability, lower operating costs, higher output of electric power.;3 cl, 2 dwg
