Principles of researching the energy potential of natural reservoirs in the energy supply system
To reduce the cost of consumed energy under the conditions of rising prices for traditional energy sources, it is proposed to replace them with renewable sources. The article discusses the most promising renewable energy of natural reservoirs. For its effective use, it is shown that it is necessary to assess the potential of hydropower resources on the basis of systematic study to establish the relationship between the elements of the system and their indicators in the development of methods, technology and technical means for using the energy of natural reservoirs
