The Dravograd power plant ( Slovenian Hidroelectrarna Dravograd ) is a run-of-river power plant on the Drava River , which is located in the municipality of Dravograd , Slovenia . It has an installed capacity of 26 MW . The eponymous village is located on the left bank of the river near the power station.

The power plant is owned by Dravske elektrarne Maribor (DEM) and is also operated by DEM.

Barrier structure

The barrier structure is a weir system with four weir fields; Between the weir fields there is a machine house with a turbine. Each weir field is 24 m wide. A maximum of 5400 m³ / s can be discharged via the weir system.

Reservoir

When the reservoir is fully blocked, it extends over a length of 10.2 km and holds 5.6 million m³ of water.

power plant

The power plant was built from 1941 to 1944. It went into operation in 1944 with two machines; the third machine followed in 1955. The power plant has an installed capacity of 26.2 MW . The average annual production is 142 million kWh . The three Kaplan turbines each have an output of 8.7 MW, the associated generators 12  MVA . The fall height is 8.94 m. The flow rate is 420 m³ / s. In the switchgear , the generator voltage of 6.3 kV is increased to 110 kV by means of power transformers.
