Impact of the Minimum Head on Low-Head Hydropower Plants Energy Production and Profitability

Impact of the Minimum Head on Low-Head Hydropower Plants Energy Production and Profitability

In Poland, existing barrages are characterized by relatively high flow and low head, which is challenging for the effective utilization of theoretical watercourse power. The paper presents the impact of the minimum head of the hydro sets on the annual electricity production of small hydropower plant...
