Assessment of Accidents at Storage Hydro Power Plants in Georgia

  • Published:
Power Technology and Engineering Aims and scope

Effects of human activities on the surrounding environment that lead to man-made disasters were studied. The main parameters of the cause of the accident on the scale of potential losses and hydroschemes were defined along with an estimation of the potential damage from possible accidents at hydroschemes caused by the release of the potential energy of water stored in reservoirs.
