The Trausnitztalsperre is located on the Pfreimd near Trausnitz in the district of Schwandorf , Bavaria and dams the Pfreimdstausee Trausnitz . It serves as a lower and equalization basin for the Jansen pumped storage plant group and thus for energy generation . It also has its own run-of- river power plant with two Kaplan turbines with a total output of 1.84 MW and an annual electricity production of 3.83 GWh . The mean height of fall is 10.65 m.
description
The barrier structure is a concrete gravity dam that was built from 1951 to 1952 and commissioned in 1952. The air side and the power house are clad with granite masonry. With its three fish-belly weir flaps, the structure looks more like a large weir than a dam .
