Bau von Wasserkraftanlagen

The steadily growing environmental awareness is leading to a renewed interest in the use of hydropower nationwide. During the economic miracle, hydropower was pushed aside for years, leaving gaps in the tradition of specialized knowledge. This book fills that gap and summarizes the technical fundamentals for the construction of hydropower plants in a concise and clear manner. A significant focus is placed on small hydropower plants and waterwheels - covering everything from the available turbines to project planning fundamentals and the management of fish passages. The present 6th edition takes into account all important technical innovations on the market and highlights the increasing demand for fish-friendly turbines, such as the water screw. Newly added examples of plants demonstrate that even today, smaller, decentralized solutions are possible.
