Sažetak
The kinetic energy of run of river is weakly researched for the possibility of production of electrical energy. Thus a presentation of a model of optimizing the results of measuring the partial speeds of the transversal section of the watercourse is made, based on which the hydrokinetic potential of the transversal section of the River Drava near Donji Miholjac is determined. This location is favorable because here the most modern method of measuring the partial speeds of the watercourse with the help of the ADCP (Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler) device is used. In this paper the data obtained are statistically processed and a graphical interpolation is done, with the help of the obtained data, by which the local maximum values of partial speeds of the transversal section of the watercourse are determined, which then represent the most favorable micro-locations for floating small hydro power plants, objects which bear a resemblance to traditional water mills which use the hydrokinetic potential of run of river. Aside from the energy value, floating hydro power plants are suggested because of their historical and tourist significance whereby they add to the development of economy in the area of appropriate micro-locations.
