The power plant was visited by Ankara representatives of the Chamber of Electrical Engineers (EMO) and students of the Electrical Engineering Department. 18 students from Ankara Bilim University, Ankara University, Çankaya University, Gazi University, Kırıkkale University and TED University participated in the program, which was held between 20-47 November, in which all processes of electricity generation from renewable sources were explained.
They saw the stages of electricity generation on site
On the first day of the tour organized by the EMO Ankara organization, the students, who visited the Beyhan-1 Dam and HEPP Plant, had the opportunity to examine the electricity production on site by getting detailed information from the authorities. Students visited Beyhan-1 Dam and HEPP, which is the ninth HEPP project with the ninth largest installed capacity in Turkey and the second largest HEPP project among the privately operated dams, and got to know the facility with an installed power of 591 MW.
On the second day of the tour, students visited the Aşağı Kaleköy and Upper Kaleköy Dams and HEPPs in Bingöl and received information about energy production from both solar and water at the same center at the Aşağı Kaleköy Combined Renewable (Hybrid) Electricity Production Facility. Located on the Murat River and with an installed capacity of 580 MW, the hybrid power plant is Turkey's first asphalt core dam and is the sixth HEPP project with the largest installed capacity in Turkey by the private sector. It produces electricity to meet the electricity needs of 200 thousand households, with the solar power plant consisting of HEPP and SPP, added to the Aşağı Kaleköy Dam and Hydroelectric Power Plant, Turkey's first hybrid power plant, and consisting of 450 thousand panels.
Students also had the chance to examine on-site the Yukarı Kaleköy Dam and HEPP, which received the “Best (Exemplary) Project” award by the International Committee on Large Dams (ICOLD). The students, who also visited the Yukarı Kaleköy Dam, the eighth largest HEPP project in Turkey with the largest installed capacity and the largest installed capacity among those realized by the private sector, watched with interest the presentations made by the managers of the facility with an installed capacity of 634 MW.
