Toging hydroelectric power station on the river Inn, Bavaria, Germany.
Run-of-river power plants are the most common type of hydroelectric power stations constructed on rivers and canals. They exploit the potential energy stored in the altitude difference between headwaters (higher) and tailwaters (lower) the so-called hydraulic gradient, for the generation of electrical power. As a rule, run-of river power plants have only a small gradient combined with a high rate of flow, and operate reliably around the clock. operate fifteen run-of-river power plants on the river Inn in Bavaria with an installed capacity of 486 MW and an average output of 2,873 Gwh per year. Extensive dam raisings and renaturation projects follow the Inn from Rosenheim to Passau.
