Shaft power plant comprising a bulkhead gate

摘要

The invention relates to a shaft power plant for generating electricity by converting the energy of a flow between upstream water (2) and downstream water (6), comprising a vertical shaft (7), which is open at the top and the top (10) of which forms an inlet plane (11) that runs substantially parallel to the river bed and that is below the level (3) of the upstream water, and at least one bulkhead gate (71-73) which is integrated into the shaft (7) and can be deployed and retracted.
