Conclusions
-
1.
The 25 years of operating experience gained with the Kama hydroelectric plant have confirmed the correctness of many design solutions and the reliable performance of the hydraulic structures.
-
2.
A design drawback stems from the absence of trash-collecting apparatus upstream from the plant and imperfection of the grate-cleaning mechanisms, as well as the overcrowding of the rooms within the plant, which hinders mechanization of repair work.
