One of the most important issues in planning Small Hydro-Power Plants (SHPPs) of the ''run-off river'' type is to determine the optimal installation capacity of the SHPP and estimate its optimal annual energy value. In this paper, a method to calculate the annual energy is presented, as is the progr
