Abstract: |
The Kopswerk II power plant of the Vorarlberger Illwerke AG with a capacity of 510 MW was constructed between 2004 and 2008 as a pumped storage scheme parallel to the existing Kopswerk I (247 MW) constructed in 1969. The design of the headrace was confronted with borderline conditions concerning both construction and operation. The construction concept had to take into consideration the external constraints and ensure continuous construction in winter in the high mountains. On account of the formation water situation, the intention was to relieve formation water pressure during the construction period. |
