Small hydro power plants
Situation in the Czech Republic:
Past (before WW2): 13 000 small and micro HPPs Nowadays: 1 300 small and micro HPPs
POTENTIAL FOR REFURBISHMENT
▪ 52% of energy produced in HPPs with head up to 5 meters (DoujakProst, 1998)
▪ 45% of energy comes from HPPs which were set in operation before 1946 (DoujakProst,
1998)
▪ Exploitable capacity: 3 978 GWh/yr ▪ Exploited: 60% ▪ 40% of expoitable potential suitable for small and micro HPPs (World Energy Council, 2007)
▪ Similar share of economically feasible but unexploited potential also in Romania, Slovenia, Bulgaria and even higher in Turkey and Baltic states (PunysPelikan, 2007)
Recent survey by CEZ: there are more than 300 locations with head less than 3 meters, which so far unexploited NEED FOR ECONOMIC TECHNICAL SOLUTION

Swirl turbine
◦ first idea and patent in 2001 (prof. Pochylý)
◦ focused on very low head (H=1.5-3.5 m)
◦ reduction of technical complexity
◦ low manufacturing costs
◦ key design features: ❶ no guide vanes
❷ two (or more) fixed runner blades
❸ variable design layout

Kaplan turbine swirl turbine
○ no guide vanes
○ fixed runner blades
○ mild swirl in the draft tube
○ Euler turbomach. eq. 𝜂ℎ𝑌 = −𝑢2𝑐𝑢2
