FIELD: power engineering.

SUBSTANCE: riverbed hydraulic power plant comprises an impeller installed on vertical stands 1 of a base 2 and comprising a shaft 3 with radial drivers 6 and rectangular blades 8, a multiplier with a shaft and a generator. The upper part of rectangular blades 8 is installed hingedly on fluoroplastic bushings at the ends of drives 6. In the side ends of the lower part of the blades 8 there are rollers 9 that roll in guides of -shaped form of fixed sides 10 that are bean-shaped. Guides in the front part have a break or are made as closed with a transition section from the horizontal position of the blades 8 into the vertical one. Blades 8 are made of polymer material. The multiplier's shaft is made vertical.

EFFECT: simplified design of the riverbed hydraulic power plant with higher reliability of operation and increased capacity due to serial connection of hydraulic power units.
