Hydroelectric power generating apparatus
A hydroelectric power generating apparatus includes a check dam mounted on a hilltop portion of a hillside to accumulate water of a river reach, a power generating device mounted on a hill bottom portion of the hillside to be driven by a kinetic energy carried by the water for power generation, a diversion pipe extending from the check dam to the power generating device and having at least one diversion duct which extends along the river reach to make a pipeline that converts gravitational potential energy of the water into the kinetic energy, and a surge tank disposed to stand uprightly from the diversion duct for balancing pressure in the diversion duct.
