Technology comment
The run-of-river hydropower plant have no regulating reservoirs. Here, medium-scale run-of-river hydropower plants refer to those with an installed capacity of >=50, <300 MW. Hydropower plant parameters are set according to design standards: small-scale hydropower projects have a technical service life of 30 years, medium-scale projects 50 years, and large-scale projects 100 years.
