List of the Moselle barrages

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The course of the Moselle river with barrages

The list of Moselle barrages names all barrages on the Moselle , a left tributary of the Rhine . The navigable part of the Moselle has a total length of 394 kilometers and 28 barrages from the confluence with the Rhine near Koblenz upstream to the French town of Neuves-Maisons . It is classified as a European waterway  Vb . The Mosel with large engine cargo vessels up to a length of 135 meters and thrust associations passable up to a length of 172.10 meters and a width of 11.45 meters. From Neuves-Maisons to the Rhine, the river overcomes a height difference of 161 meters with the barrages. For each barrage, the year of completion, the location on the Moselle, the length of the dam , the dimensions of the lock chamber and the capacity of the hydropower plant are given.

The dam targets and hydropower plants are controlled by the central control room of RWE Power AG at Fankel . The stoppings of the steps are 4.20 to 28.58 kilometers long, the height difference to be overcome is between 2.7 and 9 meters. Second locks with a usable length of 210 meters and a width of 12.50 meters are planned for all ten German barrages, in Koblenz to replace the lock from 1951. In Zeltingen, the second lock has been in operation since May 2010, and in Fankel it is expected from 2012, Trier and Lehmen are being prepared. 17 barrages are equipped with a hydropower plant with a total output of 209  megawatts .

Moselle canalization

The Moselle canalization was the damming regulation of the Moselle in the years 1958 to 1964 from Metz to the confluence with the Rhine near Koblenz . The Moselle was thus expanded to a major shipping route for ships up to 1500 tons over a length of 270 km . The basis was the Moselle Treaty of October 27, 1956, in which the Moselle bordering states Germany , Luxembourg and France undertook to develop the Moselle from Koblenz to Thionville into a European shipping route. France took over the expansion from Thionville to Metz on its own until 1964. The congestion regulation on the Upper Moselle , which was continued in the following years, reached Neuves-Maisons in 1979 . This means that today 394 km of the river with a total of 28 dams with a height of fall of along 161 m has been expanded. In the years 1992 to 1999 the fairway was deepened from 2.70 m to 3.00 m. The Moselle is one of the busiest waterways in Europe .

Hydropower plants

The Fankel barrage with the central control room

A run-of-river power plant is located at all twelve barrages in Germany and Luxembourg, and at another five locations in France. The ten German hydropower plants are operated by Innogy SE and have a total output of 180 megawatts . The annual German electricity generation is 800 million kWh , enough energy for 250,000 households. The performance is determined by the turbine flow and the height of fall . With a turbine flow rate of 400 m³ / s, the Kaplan turbines can generate their maximum possible electrical power. If the drain in the Mosel higher, which is water level by water flow over the weirs regulated. Floods lead to the shutdown of the hydropower plants, as the height of the fall becomes so small due to the rise of the underwater that further operation is not possible or not economical.

Because of the lower flows and heads, the Luxembourg and French hydropower plants have a lower output. These power plants are operated by Société électrique de l'Our , in which the German RWE and the State of Luxembourg each hold 40.3%. All 17 hydropower plants have a total output of 209 megawatts. The dam targets and the 17 hydropower plants on the Moselle are controlled by the central control room of RWE Power AG at Fankel . The German and Luxembourg hydropower plants were built between 1961 and 1966, with the exception of the Koblenz site, which was completed in 1951. The French power plants were commissioned between 1989 and 1995.

Concept comparison of the Koblenz and Fankel power plants

While conventional Kaplan turbines are used at the Moselle power plant in Koblenz , bulb turbines are installed in the other Moselle power plants . Using the example of the power plant in Koblenz and the Moselle power plant in Fankel , the following table enables a comparison of the two concepts.

Koblenz power plant Fankel power station
Power plant output 16.0 MW 16.4 MW
Turbine (number and type) 4 × Kaplan turbine 4 × bulb turbine
Impeller diameter 4.90 m 4.72 m
Turbine speed 71.5 / min 77 / min
Generator speed 71.5 / min 750 rpm
Number of pole pairs of the generator 42 pole pairs 4 pole pairs
Machine inclination against the horizontal 90 ° 8 °
Width of the intake structure approx. 70 meters approx. 45 meters
Power plant efficiency approx. 76.5 percent approx. 85.5 percent
