"Small hydropower" field is one of the priorities for development according to Rosatom Service JSC Vision 2030. The main task of this area is to create generating capacities in small hydropower by organic growth (implementation of BOO - Build Own Operate projects) and inorganic growth (implementation of M&A projects on purchase of operating plants) in the Russian Federation and abroad. In parallel with these tasks, our company plans to continue implementing simple projects on equipment supply and services delivery, as well as complex projects up to turnkey construction of hydroelectric power plants.


Stream #1
Stream #1 Mergers and acquisitions (M&A)

Acquisition of small hydro power plants with the installed capacity of up to 100 MW and a unit capacity of up to 30 MW.

Geography of Russia and foreign companies
Stream #2
Stream #2 Build, own and operate (BOO)

Construction of small HPPs with installed capacity up to 30 MW, owning and operating

Geography of Russia and foreign companies
Stream #3
Stream #3 EPC (+F) and equipment supplies, delivery of services

Development of feasibility study, design and delivery of hydraulic units and auxiliaries of any capacity. Implementation of turnkey projects for plants up to 30 MW.

Result
Type of plant
Version of layout of SHPP buildings and structures depending on the head. Barrage – for low head, SHPP next to the dam. Diversion – for high head, SHPP building is located at a considerable distance from the water intake, water is supplied to hydroelectric units via diversion channels.
Type of turbine
Hydroturbine – the main equipment of SHPP, which converts water mechanical energy into rotational energy for further power generation in the generator. The following hydraulic turbines are usually used for SHPP. Kaplan is an axial, rotary-blade hydraulic turbine for low head. Francis is a radial-axis hydraulic turbine for wide head ranges. Pelton is a pelton type hydraulic turbine for high head.
Use of inductor generator
An innovative solution for HPP, providing a number of additional advantages for hydraulic power equipment in terms of efficiency and reliability.
