Data confidence 85 high
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This paper is devoted to the issues such as modelling the design parameters and operating modes and improving the design of micro hydroelectric power plants operating in low-pressure water flow. Taking into consideration above-mentioned issues, it is possible to increase the efficiency of using low-pressure water energy systems. The main dimensions of the water wheel of a micro hydropower plant depend on the water flow velocityv, water volumeQ, acting at a fixed point in time on the water wheel blade, and also on the depth of the water levelH.
