The Regensburg power plant is located on the Danube and consists of the Regensburg run-of-river power plant , the Regensburg engine and the associated barrage.

Run-of-river power plant

The run-of-river power plant, which went into operation in 1977, has an electrical output of 7.2 MW and an average annual production of 49 million kWh. Two Kaplan turbines with an impeller diameter of 4.7 meters drive two generators with a nominal output of 3.6 megawatts each  . The expansion flow is 240 m³ / h. The power house is located on the left bank of the southern arm of the Danube.

Engine

The engine with a Kaplan bulb turbine , which was commissioned in 1990, has an electrical output of 2.25 MW and an average annual production of 14 million kWh. Its underwater is the northern arm of the Danube.

Generator house

Barrage

The barrage of the Regensburg hydropower plant is located in the west of Regensburg , directly on the bridge of the A93 over the Danube and consists of the weir system of the southern arm of the Danube and the weir of the northern arm. At the barrage, the main flow of the Danube is divided into the northern arm and the southern arm of the Danube. The level of the headwater with normal water level is 332.5 meters above sea ​​level , the length of the water level is approx. 21 km.

At the level of the barrage, the sluice canal of the Regensburg Europakanal branches off from the dammed Danube river to the northeast , which bypasses the Stadtamhof district to the north, before reaching the level of the river Regen flowing in from the north through the Regensburg sluice and further east with the north arm of the Danube unites.

Entry into the boat lock from the southern part of the Danube

In the southern part of the barrage there is a sport boat lock and a boat lane , as the European Canal is closed to these vehicles. A service bridge, which is open to cyclists and pedestrians, runs across the entire dam.

The generator house is located between the two weirs near the western tip of the Danube island Oberer Wöhrd .
