The Bad Abbach traction power plant is a run-of-river power plant on the Danube and is sometimes also referred to as the Bad Abbach engine .
The power plant, which was built from 1998 to 2000, is located near Oberndorf , a district of Bad Abbach . It uses the difference in level between the lock canal and the Danube. The inlet is around river kilometer 2399.35, the outlet into the underwater of the northern arm is around 2397.8 N. The electrical output of the power plant built by Bayernwerk-Wasserkraft AG is 3.5 MW.
The power plant only provides traction current . Due to the low output of the power plant, the electrical energy is fed directly into the overhead line at a voltage of 15 kV. This only existed in this form in Germany at the Kammerl hydropower plant, which was shut down in 2013 . All other German traction power plants feed into the higher-level 110 kV traction power network of DB Energie GmbH.
The Bad Abbach power plant , which generates normal three-phase alternating current for the network , is located just under 4 km upstream.
