Abstract
Approximately 23% of the world electric power is produced by hydroelectric
power plants (HPP). This kind of power stations convert the kinetic energy of the
falling water into the mechanical energy of the turbine's rotation, and the turbine
drives the electric machine current generator. The construction of hydroelectric
power plants is usually more capital intensive than thermal power plants. Reservoirs
make the climate more moderate. There can be two main factors for effective power
generation at HPPs: guaranteed availability of water throughout the year and possibly
large deviations of the river
power plants (HPP). This kind of power stations convert the kinetic energy of the
