Analysis of accidents of water reservoir systems and assessment of their reliability and safety

\nIn this article provides an analysis of accidents at reservoir hydroelectric facilities in the world. This is covered in the materials of the International Commission on Large Dams, according to which about 3 thousand accidents occur at hydroelectric power stations in the world every year. Therefore, when designing, constructing and operating reservoir hydraulic systems, special attention is paid to ensuring their reliable and safe operation. The seminars held on this issue provide an opportunity to improve the skills of the personnel responsible for the safety of hydraulic structures to ensure compliance with the standards and rules for their qualification. In order to prevent accidents and ensure reliable, safe operation of reservoir hydraulic structures, it is necessary to perform a set of tasks related to the following issues: step-by-step restoration of failed control and measuring equipment at hydraulic structures of reservoir hydraulic structures for continuous monitoring of their condition; continuous improvement of the skills of the personnel responsible for the safety of hydraulic structures to ensure compliance with the standards and rules for their qualification; study of the best world experience in modern methods and technologies for ensuring the safety of reservoir hydraulic structures and their implementation.\n
