Development of New Water-Intake Facilities for the Use of the Hojazsu River Flows in Lachin District for
Hydropower Purposes
Abstract
In the article, long-term observations were conducted on the Hojazsu River of the liberated Lachin district, and a large amount of information was collected. Information about the Hojazsu River was collected, and the location of the water intake facility and the hydroelectric power station building was selected. The article discusses the design of water intake facilities for mountainous and foothill areas; improvement was also considered. The scheme of water intake facilities for hydropower was proposed and improved. As a result of numerous studies, new designs of water intake facilities were developed and used in the design of Small Hydroelectric Power Plants. Several patents for utility models of the Intellectual Property Agency of the Republic of Azerbaijan were obtained for the newly designed water intake facilities.
