Summary of the subject: The use of energy from renewable sources is currently one of the priority areas of development of the world energy industry. In recent years, there has been a resurgence of interest in the development and use of small hydropower plants. In most countries, they are built on a new, more advanced technical basis, connected, in particular, with full automation of their work and remote control. An important element for the further development of hydropower is the training of highly qualified specialists.
As a result of studying the discipline, students have the opportunity to develop competences in hydropower potential calculations, the choice of hydraulic equipment for the use of water energy, and the management of the process of converting hydropower into electrical energy at hydroelectric power stations
Опис: Classification of small hydropower plants. Terminology. List of regulatory documents for the design and operation of small hydroelectric power stations. Assessment and current state of hydropower resources of small rivers in the regions of Ukraine and world experience in their use. Pressure creation schemes. Composition and arrangement of structures of hydraulic units on small drains. Hydrotechnical structures of small hydropower plants. Head in the aggregate unit of the HPP. Designing the diversion channel of the HPP. Calculation of the throughput capacity of pressure spillways. Calculation of the main parameters of pumping units. Main and auxiliary equipment of small HPPs.
Assessment methods and criteria: Methods of monitoring the results of student learning in the process of ongoing monitoring:
- assessment of students' work during practical classes;
- performance of test tasks in the Virtual Learning Environment of NU LP;
