HYDROELECTRIC STATION Russian patent published in 2016 - IPC F03B17/00 

FIELD: mechanics.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to applied mechanics, namely to production of mechanical energy and its conversion into electric energy. Hydroelectric plant includes foundations, on which machine room building is constructed, electric generator with hydraulic turbines, closed annular chamber, water tank, automatic control device, auxiliary equipment, high-voltage distributing device, compressed air generator and pneumatic and hydraulic accumulator are installed and fixed. Wherein closed circular chamber consists of turbine chamber, in which hydraulic turbine is placed, and ring pipe, to which acceleration armored chambers with accelerating pipes, vacuum-generating machines, pneumatic and hydraulic accumulator, compressed air generator, dampers, water tank and instrumentation tools are attached. Interrelation and interaction of plant design allows to fill circular chamber with water and air once, speeding this mixture in circle, formation of working medium and long time (years) rotation of hydraulic turbine and generation of electric energy.

EFFECT: aim of invention is expansion of range of hydropower application.
