HPP BUILDING WITH STAGGERED LOCATION OF UNITS Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC E02B9/00 

FIELD: construction.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to hydraulic engineering and may be used in construction of hydraulic power plants in restricted conditions. The proposed task is solved by the fact that the proposed design of the hydraulic power plant building may locate a large number of units arranged in the horizontal plane at one elevation. The hydraulic power plant includes a turbine hall 1 and hydraulic units 2 arranged in rows. Hydraulic units 2 are arranged in one horizontal plane so that hydraulic units of the next row are placed in the gaps between hydraulic units of the previous row. Arrangement of hydraulic units in two rows, spiral chambers of which are displaced relative to each other, makes it possible to approach axes of the units towards to each other, and thus to reduce length of the HPP turbine hall. Arrangement of the hydraulic power plant building may be across the river bed or at the angle to the river bed.

EFFECT: reduced length of an HPP building results in reduction of capital intensity of the entire hydraulic engineering facility.
