The Hakavik hydropower plant ( Norwegian Hakavik kraftverk ) is a hydropower plant commissioned in 1922 in Øvre Eiker in the province of Viken in southern Norway .
location
The power station is on the western shore of Lake Eikeren , which serves as an underwater. From a drop of 389 meters between a chain of lakes on the plateau west of the power plant and the Eikeren, the plant generates electricity using four Pelton turbines . Three generators with 2.5 MW each generate single-phase alternating current, the fourth generator with 150 kW generates 50 Hz three-phase current to cover the power plant's own needs. Since only one of the two downpipes can be used due to age, only half of the installed capacity can be used.
history
The power plant was built on behalf of the Norwegian Central Railway Authority (today Jernbaneverket ), only generates traction current and is the starting point of the southern Norwegian traction current network , which is operated at 16⅔ Hz and 55 kV . One line leads to the substation in Sande , another to the switching station Sandhaugen , where one line leads to Asker and another line to the substation Neslandsvatn via the substation Nordagutu and the substation Skollenberg .
The operator of the power plant is the largest Norwegian energy supplier Statkraft .
