RCSchim | FPV flying adventure at the MASSIVE Maltatal Kölnbrein dam @Rcschim | Uploaded 2 years ago | Updated 4 hours ago
That was a rare chance to fly at such an awesome spot in good conditions. The day before we also tried but had high winds and rain (but a good burger with a view).
This day we drove up there (with our rent Model X) - and the ride up was already very nice (curvy mountain road with like 15 really good waterfall FPV Spots alone the way!).
The one regret I have now: I should have also used my freestyle 5" copter to properly dive the massive wall of the dam. Good reason to go back there some day! (but will security there kick me out?)
"Maltatal Kölnbrein Talsperre"
The Dam was finished 1977, 2mio m³ concrete vs 200mio m³ of water!
Main reason: store water for hydro power plant. If you need energy, open the gates and run the turbine. If you have too much energy (solar, low demand) - you PUMP water back up there. The process is around 80% efficient - so you can STORE electric energy up there. Pretty sick imho!
I also learned that during summer (more rain, snow melting) the water level is rising, this huge storage is filled up, while in winter the hydro power plant would only be able to run at 9% because no much (liquid) water available. With the stored water in the basin you can increase this to 78%!
Facts: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maltakraftwerke
full water basin = 588,3 GWh of electric power available!
Wall: 2mio m³ concrete vs 200mio m³ of water!
Wall height: 200m
Top of wall length: 626m (7,6m width)
Base of wall: 41m width!!!
Largest water basin in Austria!
Built between 1971 and 1978
the Turbine(s) can produce 120MW electric power
70m³/sec flow rate! 200m alt difference
Turbine can use 116MW electric power to PUMP water back up (if you have to much eletric power available and want to store it).
