Abstract: This paper describes and brings the results of the hydraulic evaluation of the HPP Plave II surge tank on the Soča River owing to the hydraulic and geometric characteristics changeover with regard to the preliminary study. Three different turbine operation possibilities are described: constant discharge operation; constant power operation and constant wicket gates opening operation. On the basis of this study considering the maximum and minimum permissible water levels in the surge tank with the mathematical model, the new, highest values of the throttle damping characteristics were evaluated.
