Abstract

The energy operation has a considerable impact on navigation, in particular, in derivation schemes of regulatory hydropower plants (HPPs), if the derivation canal is used for navigational purposes. This is due to sudden changes of flow through HPPs, a by-product resulting from use of these sources for providing ancillary services to the electricity supply system. The purpose of this research is to determine the critical margin of manipulation with HPP, or, for that matter, to propose measures that would harmonize the „contradictory“ interests of navigation and energy industry.
