Determination of economically feasible parameters of conduits of hydroelectric stations

  • Published:
Hydrotechnical Construction Aims and scope

Conclusions

  1. 1.

    The optimal cross sections of tunnels (pressure and free-flow) and of steel conduits should be determined by means of exact equations for detailed design stages and by approximate equations for rough calculations.

  2. 2.

    In the case of complex layout schemes with the presence of daily storage reservoirs it is not possible to use analytical methods of calculating the cross sections of tunnels and conduits.

  3. 3.

    The possibilities of using equations for calculating optimal cross sections of cannais and flumes of hydroelectric stations are extremely limited.

  4. 4.

    It is necessary to develop methods of optimizing power conduits, including both analytical and ordinary power-economic methods of their calculation.
