Enher
ENHER, the acronym for ''Empresa Nacional Hidroeléctrica del Ribagorzana'' (''National Hydroelectric Company of the Ribagorçana''), was a Spanish company, based in Barcelona, dedicated to the generation and distribution of electrical energy. Its basic activity focused on hydroelectric production, but also had holdings in thermal and nuclear power stations. Created in 1946, it was historically a company of public capital, first as property of ''Instituto Nacional de Industria'' ( INI) and, from 1983, as part of Endesa, who absorbed it in 1999, one year after being privatized. Despite the extinction of the legal personality of Enher, Endesa used the Fecsa-Enher trademark for its distribution activity in Catalonia until the year 2001. History ENHER was founded in 1946 with majority capital of ''Instituto Nacional de Industria'' ( INI) at the initiative of the engineer Victoriano Muñoz Oms, in order to take advantage of the hydraulic resources of the basin of the Noguera-Ribago ...

Like the internet, the base technology was packet switching; it was developed by the electric utility ENHER in Barcelona. It was deployed by the same utility, first in Catalonia and Aragon, Aragón, Spain, and later in other places. Its development started in 1974 and the first Router (computing), routers, called nodes at that time, were deployed by 1978.Hoffmann M.G. and Selga J.M. «Line Control Unit for a Packet Switching Network».

Mequinenza Dam
Mequinenza Dam ( es, Presa de Mequinenza, links=no) is a concrete gravity dam in the province of Zaragoza, Spain. It impounds the Ebro creating a large reservoir, which is called ''Mar de Aragón''. About 35 km downstream of Mequinenza dam is Ribarroja dam. ''Empresa Nacional Hidroeléctrica del Ribagorzana S.A.'' ( ENHER) was mandated in 1955 by ''Instituto Nacional de Industria (INI)'' to build two dams on the Ebro near Mequinenza and Ribarroja. Work on Mequinenza dam started in 1957. The filling of the reservoir began in December 1965. The power plant was operational in 1964 (1966). ENHER was acquired by Endesa in 1999. Dam Mequinenza Dam is a 79 m tall (height above foundation) and 461 m long gravity dam with a crest altitude of 124 m. The volume of the dam is 1,100,000 m³. The dam features a spillway with 6 gates over the dam (maximum discharge 11,000 m³/s) and one bottom outlet (maximum discharge 160 m³/s). Reservoir At full reservoir level of 121 m.a.s.l. the ...

Noguera Ribagorçana
The Noguera Ribagorzana () or Noguera Ribagorçana () is a river in northern Spain.Dorothy Noyes ''Fire in the Placa: Catalan Festival Politics After Franco'' 2003 p. ix "Catalonia proper — a triangle with the Pyrenees as one side, the Mediterranean as another, the Noguera Ribagorçana and Ebre rivers approximately marking the third, and Barcelona, the capital, in the middle — is now an autonomous region " For much of its course of 130 km it forms the administrative boundary between Catalonia and Aragon. Its source is in the municipality of Vielha e Mijaran ( Aran Valley) at an elevation of about 2400 m, and its upper valley forms the main access route to the Aran Valley (N-230 road and the Vielha tunnel (5230 m long) under the watershed). It passes through the traditional county of Ribagorza and the town of Pont de Suert ( Alta Ribagorça). Dams form two large reservoirs, the Escales below Pont de Suert and the Canelles above Ivars de Noguera ( Nog ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
