Pocinho Dam (Portuguese: Barragem do Pocinho) is a concretegravity dam on the Douro, where the river forms the border line between the districts of Guarda and Bragança. It is located in the municipality Vila Nova de Foz Côa, in Guarda District, Portugal.
Pocinho Dam is a 49 m tall (height above foundation) and 430 m long gravity dam with a crest altitude of 139 m. The volume of the dam is 120,000 m³. The spillway with 4 radial gates is part of the dam body (maximum discharge 15,000 m³/s).[1]
Reservoiredit
At full reservoir level of 125.5 m (maximum flood level of 134.5 m) the reservoir of the dam has a surface area of 8.29 km² and a total capacity of 83.07 mio. m³. The active capacity is 12.24 (12)[2][3] mio. m³.[1]
The power station contains 3 Kaplan turbine-generators with 57.6 MW (62 MVA) each in a dam powerhouse located on the left side of the dam. The turbine rotation is 88.2 rpm. The minimum hydraulic head is 15.5 m, the maximum 21.6 m. Maximum flow per turbine is 390 m³/s.[2]
On the right side of the dam is a lock, which can handle ships with the following maximum properties: 83 m in length, 11.40 m on the beam, 3.8 m load-draught and a cargo capacity of 2500 tons.[6]
