Technology comment
The run-of-river hydropower plant have no regulating reservoirs. Here, various combinations of installed capacities are considered. 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.
