Construction of the dam began in 1987. The dam was completed in 1993. It is owned by Companhia Portuguesa de Produção de Electricidade (CPPE). The dam is used for power generation, irrigation and flood control.[1]
Touvedo Dam is a 42.5 m tall (height above foundation) and 133.5 m long gravity dam with a crest altitude of 55 m. The volume of the dam is 74,620 m³. The spillway with 3 cradial gates is part of the dam body (maximum discharge 3,200 m³/s). There is also a bottom outlet which can discharge up to 50 m³/s.[1]
Reservoiredit
At full reservoir level of 50 m the reservoir of the dam has a surface area of 1.72 km² and a total capacity of 15.5 mio. m³. The active capacity is 4.5 (4.0)[2] mio. m³. Minimum operating level is 47.5 m.[1]
The power station contains one Kaplan turbine-generator with 22.2 MW (24 MVA) in a dam powerhouse located on the left side of the dam. The turbine rotation is 187.5 rpm. The minimum hydraulic head is 20 m, the maximum 25 m. Maximum flow per turbine is 100 m³/s.[5]
The turbine and generator were provided by GEC-Alstom.[4]
