This paper addresses the problem of designing an optimal micro-hydro power installation in rivers with generic profiles, when micro-hydro schemes are studied. This is geared towards the application of Micro-Hydro Power Plants to supply marginal isolated areas using small Pelton wheels, where both technology and resources are limited. For this purpose, a model of a Pelton micro-hydro plant is first developed. Subsequently, a discretization of the river profile is made, on the basis of which a set of integer variables are proposed, being the model transformed then into an integer optimization problem. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is showed through a specific design problem. The application of the developed method is especially interesting when designing micro-hydro plants to provide electricity to isolated populations, where both technology and resources are limited.

当研究微水电方案时，本文解决了在具有通用配置文件的河流中设计最佳微水电装置的问题。这适用于微型水力发电厂的应用，该技术利用技术和资源均受限的小型Pelton轮为边缘隔离区域供电。为此，首先开发了佩尔顿微型水力发电厂的模型。随后，对河流剖面进行离散化，在此基础上提出了一组整数变量，将其转化为模型然后转化为整数优化问题。最后，通过一个具体的设计问题证明了该方法的有效性。在设计微型水力发电厂为偏远地区的居民提供电力时，开发的方法的应用特别有趣。
