Alpaslan II dam and hydroelectrıc power plant project, Turkey
Name and Location
Alpaslan II dam and hydroelectrıc power plant (HEPP) project, Turkey.
Client
EnerjiSA Enerji Uretim.
Project Description
The Alpaslan dam will be built on the Murat river and will be 116 m high and have a crest length of 800 m.
A 1 700-m-long spillway will be built to provide a safe path for floodwater to flow around the dam.
Two diversion tunnels – 875 m and 950 m long – will be built to divert the river, to allow for the construction to be done in dry conditions. These will be used as energy tunnels during operation.
Water will flow from the dam through the energy tunnels into the penstock and then to the HEPP. The water will drive the turbines located inside the HEPP to generate electricity. The HEPP will house four Francis-Vertical Axis-type turbines – two will produce 110 MW each and two will produce 30 MW each for a total capacity of 280 MW. The water will then flow back into the Murat river.
The project will be undertaken in two phases.
Value

Duration
Work on the dam body will start after the river diversion has taken place in May. It will take 8 to 15 months to fill the Alpaslan II dam, depending on hydrological conditions. Filling of the reservoir is likely to start in July 2015 or July 2016.
It is expected that the project will generate electricity by March 2017.
