Conclusions
The analysis showed that appropriate selection of the parameters of adjusting the system automatically regulating the power of a hydrostation makes it possible to provide stability of its operation and with a smaller cross-sectional area of the surge tank than is required according to the Thoma criterion. The necessary values of the parameters of adjustment are determined by conditions (22) with consideration of the indicated constraints.
