Study of the Hydropower Potential for Construction of Small Hydropower Plant. Study Case: “Prizreni 4”, Kosovo

Improving the quality of living has increased the need for sustainable energy production at the lowest price, due to the sustainability of the environment and at thesame time with the highest efficiency of energy used. For the industrialized society, meeting of the energy requirements and reducing of the global warming can be achieved by increasing the energy efficiency and with the use of renewable energy sources. The study of the hydropower potential of the river “Lumëbardhi i Prizrenit”, located in the Republic of Kosovo was motivation for the designing and construction of Small Hydro Power Plant “Prizreni 4”, in order to reduce using of the coal. The current paper is focused on water resources of the river basin of “Lumëbardhi i Prizrenit” with their respect to the hydrological and meteorological conditions, the topography of the terrain and determination of the water intake in the village of Reçan, Municipality of Prizren. The study of the hydropower potential of the river “Lumëbardhi i Prizrenit” takes into account many factors, i.e. water flows from different water sources, precipitation of rainfall and snow, sustainability of water flow etc, in order to justify the construction of the Small Hydro Power Plant “Prizreni 4”. Paper also presents the determination of ecological flow, by analyzing and comparing several legislation methods between the Republic of Kosovo, Croatia, Slovenia, Switzerland etc.
