Conclusions
-
1.
An analysis of the technical and economic indices of the operating SHESs of Georgia shows the profitability of their operation.
-
2.
To increase the effectiveness of SHESs it is expedient: to bring the hydraulic structures of SHESs into a proper condition; to organize the repair of hydropower equipment and to provide it with the necessary spare parts; to completely automate all SHESs to reduce the operating costs at SHESs and to simplify control of their operation.
-
3.
For providing further continuous operation of the operating SHESs, reconstructing SHESs put out of commission because of wear of the equipment, and constructing new SHESs it is necessary to organize the production of unified hydropower equipment and spare parts by manufacturers of the USSR Ministry of Power and Electrification.
