The paper presents the analysis of different types of impact the hydroelectric power plants’ reservoirs could make on the environment. Hydroelectric power plants (HPP) produce ecologically safe energy and correspond to the modern striving for sustainability because they are operated on renewable energy sources. At the same time they can provoke various potential dangers for the environment. The objective of the investigation is to demonstrate the interrelation between the type and structure of a hydroelectric power plant and the way its reservoir may impact on the nature surrounding the plant. These effects may be direct and indirect, positive and negative and vary from insignificant that can be easily fixed to those that are irreversible and catastrophic. The latter should be taken into account during the design of HPP.

This paper is dedicated to comparative analysis and description of a micro hydroelectric power plant with bi-rotor hydro generator. Based on the characteristics analysis, this paper describes a renewable energy source for a small watercourse; the feasibility of micro hydroelectric power plants with bi-rotor hydro generator is demonstrated. The features of their operation require in-depth research to substantiate parameters of such installations. This paper presents the analysis of the usage of micro hydroelectric solutions with bi-rotor hydro generator. The lattice theory problem was solved, which made it possible to determine the shape of the profile according to a given law of velocity distribution (pressure) on the contour. The experimental stand was developed, and the experiments were conducted to identify the dependence of the frequency of rotation from the flow and the dependence of the rotational frequencies of hydro turbines from various loads. Based on the results obtained, the optimum values of the rotational speed were identified. Presented results of experimental research are of significance and can be applied practically in design of micro hydroelectric power plants with bi-rotor hydro generator. Keywords: Bi-Rotor Hydro Generator; Differential Equation; Rotational Flows; Function; Hydraulic Models; Kinetic Energy; Renewable Energy Sources; Velocity Measurements.                                                                                                                     This paper is dedicated to comparative analysis and description of a micro hydroelectric power plant with bi-rotor hydro generator.

Energy is increasingly becoming more important in today’s world, whereas energy sources are drastically decreasing. One of the most valuable energy sources is hydro energy. Because of limited energy sources and excessive energy usage, cost of energy is rising. Among the electricity generation units, hydroelectric power plants are very important, since they are renewable energy sources and they have no fuel cost. To decide whether a hydroelectric power plant investment is feasible or not, project cost and amount of electricity generation of the investment should be precisely estimated. In this paper, fifty four hydroelectric power plant projects are analysed by using multiple regression and artificial neural network tools. As a result, two cost estimation models have been developed to estimate the hydroelectric power plant project cost in early stages of the project.

The article examines the main trends in the use of renewable energy sources in the world. The article examines the main trends in the use of renewable energy sources in the world. The use of renewable sources is associated with the depletion of reserves of carbonaceous minerals and a decrease in greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere. The article presents the main, according to the authors, reasons for the incorrect determination of the potential of small hydro resources in the Republic of Tajikistan. In recent years, many small hydroelectric power plants have been built, which are ineffective. For this, the authors propose a more detailed study of the watercourse regime and the determination of its potential for the minimum and maximum tributaries and the possibility of its use, the influence of hydrological, socio-economic factors on the determination of the potential of small rivers during the construction of small hydroelectric power plants. Zoning of small watercourses is proposed for a more detailed determination of the watercourse capacity and the possibility of constructing small hydroelectric power stations on them. The influence of altitude above sea level on the output of the rated power of installations of renewable energy sources is considered. As it shows, the experience of operation and the above statistical analysis at the existing small hydroelectric power plants with an altitude of SHPPs above sea level, their nominal capacity will decrease. The decrease in the nominal output power of small hydroelectric power plants with an air-cooling system is associated with the rarefaction of atmospheric air.

The article describes run-of-the-river hydroelectric power plants. The authors specify the importance of performing technical and economic calculations in justifying the large-sized units of the water-supplying channel of a run-of-the-river hydroelectric power plant: turbine pits and suction (discharge) pipes. The study shows that the amount of construction work and the total cost of building a hydroelectric power plant depend on the size of these water supply units. The research objective is to analyze the validity of establishing the main dimensions of the suction pipes for modern technical and economic conditions. The researchers use the discounted income method. The calculations are performed for a hydroelectric power plant with an elbow suction pipe. The analysis of how the operating conditions of a hydroelectric power plant influence the savings of construction resources is carried out. The analysis shows that saving construction resources by reducing the length of the suction pipe is justified if the hydroelectric power plamt is designed to work only at peak power loads. For hydroelectric power plants operating at semi-peak or base power loads, the additional construction costs would be appropriate if leading to the decrease in pressure loss and to the increase in electricity generation.

Abstract The electricity sector in Europe and in the world is undergoing rapid and profound changes. There is a sharp increase in the capacity of renewable energy sources, coal and nuclear power plants are being closed and new technologies are being introduced. Especially rapid changes are taking place in the energy systems of the Baltic States. Under these conditions, there is an emerging need for new planning tools particularly for the analysis of the power system properties in a long-term perspective. The main contribution of this article lies in the formulation and solution of optimization problems that arise when planning the development of power systems in the Baltic States. To solve this problem, it is necessary to use models of various power plants and make a number of assumptions, the justification of which requires the following actions: to briefly review the current situation of the production and demand of energy in the Baltic power systems; to conduct an overview of the Baltic interconnections and their development; to make forecasts of energy prices, water inflow, energy production and demand; to set and solve the problems of optimization of power plant operation modes; to demonstrate the possibility and limitations of the developed tools on the basis of real-life and forecast data. In this paper, a case study is performed using the main components of the overall modelling framework being developed. It focuses on the Baltic power systems in 2050 under the conditions of significant expansion in the installed capacity of renewable energy sources (RESs) and diminished fossil fuel power plant activity. The resulting electricity generation mix and trade balance with neighbouring countries is assessed, showing that even with significant RES expansion, the Baltic countries remain net importers and because of the intermittency of RESs, there are hours within the year when the demand cannot be met.

In this study, maintenance planning problem is handled in one of the hydroelectric power plants which directly affect Turkey’s energy supply security with a fifth share in the total generation. In this study, a result is obtained by taking into consideration the multi-objective and multi-criteria structure of the maintenance planning in the hydroelectric power plants with thousands of complex equipment and the direct effect of this equipment on uninterrupted and low-cost electricity generation. In the first stage, the risk levels of the equipment in terms of the power plant are obtained with the combination of AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process) and TOPSIS (technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution) which are frequently used in the literature due to their advantages. Department-based maintenance plans of all equipment for periodic and revision maintenance strategies are formed by integrating these values into the time allocated for maintenance and the number of employees constraints. As a result of the application of this methodology which is designed for the first time in the literature with the integration of multi-criteria decision-making methods for the maintenance planning problem in a hydroelectric power plant, all elements that prevent the sustainable energy supply in the power plant are eliminated.
