The hydro power complex is called "Nihuil IV". The reservoir has an area of about 5 km² and a volume of 168 Mio. m³ of water. - Departamento San Rafael, Province Mendoza, Argentina. We are now at about a third of the trip from Salta all the way south to Ushuaia. - scanned slide, Minolta X700, Fujichrome 100

The concrete dam "Presa Valle Grande" backs up the reservoir "Embalse Valle Grande" (Rio Atuel). The dam is 115 m tall, the crest is 300 m long, the flood spillway has a capacity of 512 m³/s. The hydro power plant "Nihuil IV" opened in 1997. - If the spillway goes in operation, the camping site is not recommendable ;-) - scanned slide, Minolta X700

The abandoned intake channel to the hydro turbine is situated here under the floor with an old weir.

A new album about the wonderful old Hydro Power Plant Arnstein in Western Styria. The storage power plant with a beautiful turbine hall and control center was built in 1922-1925, with a annual energy production of 49 GWh and a power of 30 MW. Three horicontal Francis -turbines, each with 10 MW and a nominal flow of 5.5 m³/s and generators with 13.000 kVA are still in operation and all is pretty the same state since the 1920's. There is a 5.25 km long penstock leading from the storage lake "Langmann" to the power station. At first we will visit the turbine hall, but only with ear plugs ;-)

The PiP shows the main switchboard from behind!

Some last photos from the wonderful control room of the Hydro Power Plant Arnstein. Even the electric heating with its copper casing has its beauty.

and another nice instrument:
