HYDROELECTRIC POWER PLANT Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC E02B9/00 

FIELD: hydraulic equipment.

SUBSTANCE: hydraulic power plant consists of low-pressure dam and series of hydro generators. On the upstream side the dam is protected by reinforced concrete wall in the form of arches. On the sites of adjacent arches hollow chambers for hydro generators are mounted. To drive the hydro generators high-speed propeller turbines with vertical shaft are used. Water supply to the turbines is performed by giant funnels, which are formed by adjacent arched walls and elliptical cross-section water supply channels. Dam frame is made of monolithic reinforced concrete walls and partitions with the subsequent backfilling with soil, which allows to create solid and stable structure, which is able to withstand the elements and hostile actions. To ensure navigation and activities for environmental requirements in the dam body a sluice was made.

EFFECT: enabling increase in the river water stream energy into the electrical energy conversion efficiency.
