Technology comment
The dam-type hydropower plant have one reservoir for regulation and storage. 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.
