The hydropower plants with installed movable Bulb-turbine differ with a simple construction, easy installation, high efficiency, long-term exploitation and multiple ecological benefits. This type of turbines is specially designed for low and middle heads (2,00 – 10,00 m), finding application mostly in the construction of river-bed hydropower plants.
