Show power plant at the Schluchsee dam
Experience hydropower up close - green electricity at the foot of the Schluchsee dam
Beschreibung
On the upper panoramic level, an information board provides information on facts and figures about the show power plant.
When visiting the plant on the lower experience level, a large glass pane on the accessible plant roof provides an exciting insight into the inside of the power plant. Illuminated LED arrows explain the inner workings and the watercourse.
One highlight is the water wheel made by Schluchseewerk trainees, which produces electricity to light the plant as a visible symbol of energy generation from hydropower.
The hydropower plant in the immediate vicinity of the dam wall has an output of 60 kilowatts. 211 litres per second drive a turbine and a water wheel, which together can generate up to 440 megawatt hours of renewable electricity per year.
