HPP-HPSPP POWER COMPLEX Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC F03B13/00 E02B9/00 

FIELD: power industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention can be used at construction of hydroelectric and hydroelectric pumped storage power plants (HPP and HPSPP). An HPP-HPSPP power complex consists of HPP and HPSPP with turbine hydroelectric units 5 and reversible hydroelectric units arranged in one building, upper and lower reservoirs 1 and 7 and pressure water conduits 3. The complex has individual lower reservoir of HPSPP 8 that is hydraulically not connected to natural river bed, and the corresponding water intake. Reservoirs 7 and 8 are located at different levels. Water conduits 3 of reservoir 1 are connected to turbine hydroelectric units 5 and the reversible hydroelectric units. Hydroelectric units 5 are made in the form of hydraulic turbines with generators. The reversible hydroelectric units are made in the form of reversible hydraulic machines with generators/motors. Water conduits of the lower HPSPP reservoir are routed under or above the lower HPP reservoir HPP reservoir for hydraulic connection of the lower HPSPP reservoir to the reversible hydroelectric units supplying water to reservoir 1.

EFFECT: increasing capacity of a power complex and efficiency of its operation in a power system and minimising construction and installation activities by providing a possibility of burial of turbine and reversible hydroelectric units at different levels at use of their single-type layout.
