This project investigates an innovative hydroelectric intake system for run-of-river power plants. The design includes a bell-mouth funnel, gradually converging tunnel, smooth low-friction penstock, and optimized flow path to reduce hydraulic losses and improve water flow conditions at the turbine. CFD simulations will be used to compare the proposed design with a conventional hydroelectric intake.
