HYDROELECTRIC POWER STATION BUILDING Russian patent published in 1995 - IPC

FIELD: electric engineering; building construction. SUBSTANCE: hydroelectric power station building is positioned in the river bed along the stream direction in narrow gorges of mountain rivers. The building has engine room 4, hydraulic turbine-driven generator units 5 with spiral cases 6 and draught tubes 7, feeding and discharging water lines 8 and 9, respectively, spillway 11. The hydroelectric power station building is build in thrusting both of the gorge slopes making the river bank.
