Simple stream power plants

Stream power plants can be operated with a simple turbine if the stream always remains the same. These include the mill wheels, weirs, reservoirs, river power plants and smaller stream power plants.

Remarks

River power plants are working with fresh water, so the river water is not as corrosive as the salt water of the seas. That's why the turbines are less expensive.

In large river power plants (dams), the fish are blocked. For not blocking the fish, a fish channel is needed to be built for their migration movements.
