Water flow analysis at Mintia Dam on Mures river in case of endowing the retaining structure with a small hydropower station [articol]

Abstract

The paper presents a computer simulation of the accidental water flow on Mureş River in the area of Mintia Dam, considering the running situations for both the existing gates and the supplementary gates from the dissipating basin where the hydropower station is foreseen to be placed. It is aimed to stick to the water levels established for the special running conditions, considering the significant high water wave registered on 1975 (15th June – 15th July) with the maximum reached flow of 2190 m³/s. The measured water flow values were multiplied with a ratio k = 1.80 in order to reach the maximum statistical possible flow Q0.1%=3942m³/s.
