<p>A description is given of a hydroelectric power plant (1) capable of exploiting a given difference in level (H) between the water intake point (A) and the point (B) at which the potential energy of the water is converted to mechanical energy which moves one or more generators (2) of electrical current, the power plant comprising one or more penstock tubes (3) located on the bed (4) of a river (5) or below the bed, in such a way as to follow the natural inclination of the bed, the one or more penstock tubes (5) having intake apertures (3i) located at the upstream end and outlet apertures (3u) located at the downstream end, next to which the said one or more generators (2) of electrical current are installed, the generators producing electrical current by exploiting the potential energy corresponding to the difference in level (H) between the intake (3i) and outlet (3u) apertures.</p> |
