Hydropower Plants

Hydropower Plants, 1st Edition, delivers an overview of hydroelectric power engineering tailored for hydropower professionals, academics, and graduate students working in the field of hydropower. Authored by Štefan Tkáč, Lukáš Sečka, and Eric Deng, this publication establishes a thorough foundation for analyzing modern power infrastructure and daily facility operations across global environments.

The book systematically balances civil, mechanical, and hydrological aspects to illustrate how distinct engineering domains interact within a production facility. Readers analyze civil engineering aspects of plant design alongside mechanical engineering aspects and hydraulic engineering aspects, examining how physical structures, generating equipment, and fluid dynamics function together in real-world installations.

To connect conceptual principles with site management, the text provides practical solutions from industry practitioners for key operational problems. An included dictionary of technical terms helps students and active professionals master the essential terminology required for advanced study and practice.
