Run-of-the-river_hydroelectricity is a type of hydroelectric generation whereby little or no water storage is provided. Run-of-the-river power plants may either have no storage at all, or a limited amount of storage, in which case the storage reservoir is referred to as pondage.

Enclosed power plant

For a complete power plant, draw the outline and add:

• power=plant
• plant:source=hydro
• plant:method=run-of-the-river
• plant:output:electricity=*
• name=*

Single generator of a power plant

For a generator, draw a node and add:

• power=generator (obligatory)
• generator:source=hydro (obligatory)
• generator:method=run-of-the-river
• ref=*
• generator:output:electricity=*
• generator:type=* - Type
  • generator:type=francis_turbine
  • generator:type=kaplan_turbine
  • generator:type=pelton_turbine
