Popis: Highlights A critical review focused particularly on run-of-river hydropower plant design models was carried out. Several calculation models including diameter and thickness of a penstock, admissible suction head of a turbine, and cost and energy production estimation for grid-connected applications are collected and analyzed. Hydropower models for design and generation profile prediction presented can be used to optimally come against the variability problem of run-of river plants. The paper can be used as a guide in the design and simulation of run-of-river hydropower plants with appropriate models.
