Prospects of using working water reservoirs in the irrigation mode in the development of the hydro energy industry

Abstract

This article presents the countries of the world that use water energy, the world’s largest hydropower plants, indicators of water energy reserves utilization, and the importance of irrigation reservoirs in the development of the hydropower industry. There are about 70 reservoirs in operation in our country, and these reservoirs are a huge reserve for the development of the hydropower industry. According to the principle of operation, modern hydro turbines are able to work with low effort and consumption. A micro-hydroelectric power station was built to generate electricity using the Chartak reservoir. The number of Micro HPP units is 3, the units consist of a vertical pipe and a generator. The aggregates are imported from China and are capable of producing a certain amount of electricity if the consumption is 1 m3/s. When calculating aggregates, the working effort was 34 meters, the water consumption of all aggregates was 3 m3/s. Currently, this micro-hydroelectric power station supplies residents of Namangan region and some industrial facilities with electricity. In terms of the efficiency of the Micro HPP, the Turbine Generator useful working coefficient (UWC) is 81%, the Generator UWC is 91% and helps to alleviate the shortage of energy resources and the sustainable development of the economy.
