Accumulation small hydro power plant on lake - Slovenian case

Abstract

Depends on amount of water per person, Slovenia is among the richest countries in Europe with almost four times the European average. The production of energy from water to wire is basically possible on the whole country area. This work deals with the area near to Ledava river, where the water accumulation system was built around 1970. From economical point of view, the aforementioned system is not really exploited. There are different possibilities, how to exploit the whole system, as with fishing industry, soaking industry or with convertion of hydro energy into electrical energy as part of renewable production units. The last mentioned is the part of presented research work in proposed paper.
