Japanese term or phrase: 維持流量放流設備
維持流量放流設備からの異常放流の原因と再発防止対策

This is a component in a dam that regulates the flow of water, typically placed before the power production phase.

I thought of 'flow control unit,' but I'm guessing. Does anyone know of the standard term for this in English?

Thanks.

Explanation:
維持流量 (いじりゅうりょう)
 河川には一定の流量がなければ河川環境、河川利用、河川管理などに支障が生じることになります。そこで、舟運、漁業、景観、塩害の防止、河川管理施設の保護などを総合的に考慮し、渇水時においても維持すべき流量が定められており、これを維持流量と呼びます。維持用水、または河川維持用水と呼ぶこともあります。

人工洪水はダムなどによって流量変動が失われた河川の自然環境を回復する手段として 注目されている。河川生態系の本質(nature)は ... この基準を満たしつつ人工洪水を 実施するために夏期のresidual flow(維持流量)を減少させることも必要であった

'minimum flow' is also used in some papers.

As a result of a new federal law concerning the protection of the watercourses, enhancement of the residual flow downstream of the weir is inevitable. As this discharge is not available any more for energy production at the power station EKZ analyzed the efficiency of an additional small power house making use of the residual flow. This new power house will be located at the dam separating the channel from the downstream face of the weir. It will be equipped with a vertical-axis Kaplan turbine being laid out for a design flow of 12 m3/s.
