Abstract
The goal to obtain acceptable economic features for small hydropower developments requires many thorough analyses. Thus, the river section selection, the conception of a general development scheme together with a detailed technical solution, the applied performance technology, the quality of operation tests and the structure of operation management represent the main steps that need to be carefully controlled.The paper presents the innovative concepts and technical solutions that were applied on three small hydropower developments on Sebes River, Romania. The new concepts have been applied at: the hydraulic structures of the intakes; the diversion pipes; the features of power equipment. The good behavior in operation of the specified hydropower developments from the commissioning to the present and obtaining of the previewed main features of hydro developments certify the great influences of new concepts for new small hydro developments efficiency.
