Abstrakt: The water intake from the micro-hydro power plants captures water in two ways, namely, in summer through a surface grill and in winter by "winter intake", by water immersion below freezing level. The water flow captured for energy production is influenced by the river flow and fish ladder flow, respectively. The fish ladder flow should ensure a minimum servitude flow, downstream for fish migration. The paper presents a study concerning optimization of water flow capture for micro-hydro power plants in order to increase the energy production. This optimization should be made by keeping a constant flow through the fish ladder. The increase on the efficiency as a function of the river flow is presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
