Slovenija je država s sorazmerno visokim deležem obnovljivih virov energije vendar kljub temu prevladuje pridobivanje energije iz neobnovljivih naravnih virov. Največji potencial za doseganje visokega deleža OVE pri proizvodnji električne energije ima vodna energija. Glavni namen zaključne seminarske naloge je preučiti hidroenergetski potencial na izbranih lokacijah vodotoka Kamniška, dolvodno od Kamnika, za potrebe pridobivanja električne energije, saj ob njej potekajo mlinščice, na katerih so v preteklosti izkoriščali vodno moč za delovanje obratov na vodni pogon, ki so jih načrtno postavili na lokacije z ugodnima padcem in pretokom. Lokacije so bile določene na podlagi starejšega kartografskega gradiva – franciscejskega katastra in spletne strani Mapire, pregledane pa so bile tudi na terenu. Na njih so bili preneseni izračuni obstoječih mHE s katerimi se je lahko ocenil teoretični hidroenergetski potencial. Skupni teoretični hidroenergetski potencial znaša 4,73 GWh, kar pomeni, da bi se teoretično lahko oskrbovalo 1156 gospodinjstev oziroma s tem bi lahko pokrili slabih 12 % potreb po električni energiji pri gospodinjstvih v okoliških naseljih ob Radomeljski in Homški mlinščici. Slovenia is a country with a considerably high proportion of renewable energy sources (RES), yet the country mostly generates power from unrenewable energy sources. The greatest potential to increase the proportion of RES for generating electric power is hydropower. The main goal of our final paper is to examine the hydropower potential of the selected locations on the Kamniška Bistrica watercourse, downstream from Kamnik, generating electric power. This river has several millraces, the water power of which was used to provide power to water-powered facilities, built intentionally on locations with a favourable gradient and discharge. The locations were determined based on the existing cartographic material – the Franciscan cadastre and the Mapire webpage – as well as examined in the field. The calculations from the existing small-scale hydropower plants (SHPs) were applied to the locations to assess the theoretical hydropower potential. The total theoretical hydropower potential is 4.73 GWh, which means that power could theoretically be provided to 1156 households or, in other words, 12 % of electric power demands could be met in the surrounding settlements of the Radomlje and Hom millrace. |
