HYDROELECTRIC PLANT Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC F03B17/06 

FIELD: power industry.

SUBSTANCE: hydroelectric plant includes vessel made in the form of twin-hull boat. Between housings of twin-hull boat there formed is working channel in which horizontal shaft with floats and electric generators, straight-flow horizontal hydraulic turbines and vertical hydraulic turbines with electric generators are arranged. Housings are connected to each other by means of upper platforms and lower beams on the last one of which there installed are hydraulic turbines with vertical rotation axes equipped with electric generators fixed on rear transient platform. On inner ends of housings there installed are electric generators connected to each other by means of horizontal shaft on which floats with shields, which consist of upper and lower semi-spheres connected to each other, are fixed row-by-row by means of brackets. Electric generators are installed inside floats and consist of fixed stator and movable rotor contacting the stock in the middle part, which is fixed vertically in semi-spheres with both ends enclosed with elastic elements. Pipes are arranged horizontally in housings, and straight-flow hydraulic turbines are fixed in their middle parts.

EFFECT: increasing efficiency and power, and improving operating reliability.
