Conclusions

  1. 1.

    The layout of the powerhouse of a PSS in drop shafts with a nonstandard waterway of the pump-turbine with a specific speed of 220 for heads up to 100 m are comparable in their hydraulic, energy, and dynamic characteristics to a standardized waterway, which enables recommending it for use in designs of medium-head PSSs.

  2. 2.

    The use of drop shafts when constructing a PSS on soft ground provides substantial technical-economic advantages of such a variant of the layout of the hydro development.
