Selection of power system equipment for small hydro power plants

Diplomski rad počinje uvodom u kojem su napisane općenite karakteristike malih hidroelektrana te izvod snage hidroelektrane. Slijedi poglavlje o najznačajnijim karakteristikama vodenih turbina koji se koriste u mikro i malim hidroelektranama. Zatim su navedene karakteristike triju generatora koji se koriste u takvim hidroelektranama. Ukratko je napisan njihov tehnički opis, prednosti, mane i stupnjevi korisnosti. Nakon toga opisani su različiti načini spajanja male hidroelektrane na mrežu. Slijedi kratka ekonomska analiza gdje se nalaze osnovne metode financijskog odlučivanja. Najznačajniji dio rada posvećen je rijeci Bednji i proračunu instalirane snage male hidroelektrane na istoj te odabiru elektroenergetske opreme. Nakon rješenja slijedi zaključak, a diplomski rad završava privitkom u kojem je ukratko opisana mala hidroelektrana Čakovec (mHEČ).Master's thesis begins with an introduction in which are written the general characteristics of small hydro power plants and extract formula of hydro power. The next chapter is about the most important characteristics of water turbines used in micro and small hydro power plants. Next is the characteristics of three generators used in such power plants. In short is written description of their technical, advantages, disadvantages and degrees of usefulness. After that is described different ways of connecting small hydropower plants to the grid. Following is a brief economic analysis where the basic methods of financial decision is written. The most important part is dedicated to the river Bednja and analysis small hydropower installed capacity and power equipment decision. After the resolution is the conclusion and Master's thesis ends with attachment which describes the small hydro power plant Čakovec
