Coo-Trois-Ponts Hydroelectric Power Station
The Coo-Trois-Ponts Hydroelectric Power Station is a pumped-storage hydroelectric power station located in Trois-Ponts, Province of Liege, Belgium. Located next to the Amblève River, the power station uses its water to support a power scheme where water is pumped from a lower reservoir to one of two upper reservoirs known as Coo I and Coo II. When energy demand is high, water can be released from these reservoirs for power generation. The water then returns to the lower reservoir and the process repeats as needed. The same machines that pump the water to the upper reservoirs at a higher elevation are also used as generators. The plant was commissioned in two stages, Coo I (1969) and Coo II (1978). It is owned by Electrabel and has an installed capacity of 1,164 MW. Design and operation The lower reservoir for the power station has an elbow shape and was formed with two embankment dams, one high and the other . The maximum reservoir elevation of this reservoir is . Nestled in the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Vennbahn
The (, "Fen Railway") is a former railway line that was built partly across what was then German territory by the Prussian state railways. It is now entirely in Belgium, because the trackbed of the line, as well as the stations and other installations, were made provisional Belgian territory in 1919 (permanent in 1922) under an article of the Treaty of Versailles. This had the effect of creating six small exclaves of Germany on the line's western side, of which five remain. The treaty (not the location of the trackbed, ''per se'') also created one small Belgian counter-enclave, a traffic island inside a three-way German road intersection near which lasted until 1949. The route is now a cycle way. Route The line, which was standard gauge, ran for some across the High Fens to the south of Aachen in a roughly southward direction from Eupen via (the site of the depot), Monschau and to , with a eastward branch from to and .
