Hydraulic engineering construction

Hydraulic engineering construction - artificial structure (construction) of the


industrial, civil, military or other appointment, established (constructed) on artificial
or natural water object, or in immediate proximity from it, or in itself being artificial
water object.
By means of hydraulic engineering constructions uestions of protection of water
resources, struggle against harmful action of waters are solved.
!t designing and building of hydraulic engineering constructions are guided to
theoretical wor"ings out, norms and hydraulic engineering rules, and also other
engineering science.
HYDROELECTRIC POWER STATION
(H#$%&'(')*%+) ,&-'% .*!*+&/) - power station, as an energy source using
energy of a water stream. Hydroelectric power stations usually build on the rivers,
constructing dams and water basins.

*he principle of wor" of H#$%&'(')*%+) ,&-'% .*!*+&/ is simple enough. *he
chain of hydraulic engineering constructions provides a necessary pressure of the
water arriving on the blade of the water-wheel which puts in action the generators
developing the electric power.
*he necessary pressure of water is formed by means of dam building, and as
conseuence of concentration of the river in a certain place, or a derivation - a
natural current of water.
Hydroelectric stations are divided depending on developed capacity0
,owerful - develop from 12 -att to 123 -att and above4
!verages - to 12 -att4
.mall hydroelectric power stations - to 2 -att.
)apacity of H#$%&'(')*%+) ,&-'% .*!*+&/ directly depends on a pressure of
water, and also Hydroelectric power stations also share depending on maximum use
of a pressure of water0
Highly pressure head - more than 53 m4
medium pressure head - from 12 m4
(ow pressure head - from 6 to 12 m.
$epending on a water pressure, in hydroelectric power stations various "inds of
turbines are applied.
*he principle of wor" of all "inds of turbines is similar - the water which is under
pressure (a water pressure) arrives on blade of the turbine which start to rotate.
7echanical energy, thus, is transferred to the hydrogenerator which develops the
electric power.
Hydroelectric stations also are divided depending on a principle of use of natural
resources, and, accordingly, formed concentration of water. Here it is possible to

derivational Hydroelectric stations, that are built in places where large gradient river
and the pumped storage power plants are able to accumulate the generated
