Abstract
Hydroelectric resources of small rivers in many regions of our country are very large, the solution of technical issues related to their use is considered, as a rule, from the point of view of comprehensive and rational development of the potential of water flows. For the rational formation of the mode of operation of small hydroelectric power plants, it is necessary to determine the value of its main energy indicators and the value of its change, taking into account the climatic factors of the region in which it is operated. Like any other method of generating electricity by pulverized hydroelectric power plants, it has certain advantages and disadvantages, so the design of these issues needs to be taken into account when carrying out work. The general problems of small hydropower in foreign countries are caused by insufficient research of the hydrological regime and flow of small watercourses and the lack of mass production of equipment. Therefore, in order to prepare the project, it is necessary to determine in advance the relevant technical measures, and these issues were resolved in the preparation work.
