Shahid Abbaspour dam is a hydroelectric dam on the Karun river in the province of Khuzestan, Iran.

Shahid Abbaspour 8 power generators, with the capacity of 2000 MW (250 MW each), are connected to the National Power network as the Peak Power generation.

Description

The dam is a concrete double arch type, 200 m high from the foundation bed. Its crown width is 6 m. [http://news.moe.org.ir/vgld.90o2yt0zshf62yyal..html Iran Ministry of Energy News] ]

The arch dam design is an ideal one for a dam built in a narrow, rocky gorge to hold back water in a reservoir. The dam is curved. Because of the arch shape, the force of the backed up water presses downward against the dam and has the effect of strengthening the dam foundation. [cite web
