Régua Dam (Portuguese: Barragem da Régua) is a concretegravity dam on the Douro, where the river forms the border line between the districts of Vila Real and Viseu. It is located in the municipality Peso da Régua, in Vila Real District, Portugal.
Régua Dam is a 41 m tall (height above foundation) and 350 m long gravity dam with a crest altitude of 81 m. The volume of the dam is 108,000 m³. The spillway with 5 radial gates is part of the dam body (maximum discharge 21,500 m³/s). There is also a bottom outlet.[1]
Reservoiredit
At full reservoir level of 73.5 m the reservoir of the dam has a surface area of 8.5 km2 and a total capacity of 95 mio. m³.[1] The active capacity is 12[2][3] (13[4]) mio. m³.
The power station contains 3 Kaplan turbine-generators with 58.84 (52[5] or 60[3]) MW (58 MVA) each in a dam powerhouse located on the right side of the dam. The turbine rotation is 107.1 rpm. The minimum hydraulic head is 20 m, the maximum 27.5 m. Maximum flow per turbine is 316 m³/s.[2]
On the left 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]
