Olidan Hydro Electric Plant ( Abandoned ) Sweden - Olidestationen, Vattenkraftverk
Olidan är ett område vid Göta älv, nedanför vattenfallen i Trollhättan. Ett av de två vattenkraftverk som finns i Trollhättan ligger här. Det andra kraftverket heter Hojum. Olidan är statligt byggnadsminne sedan 18 november 2004.[1]
Olidan var svenska statens första vattenkraftprojekt. 1905 köptes företaget Nya Trollhätte Kanalbolag och ombildades till ett statligt verk. Företaget ombildades på nytt 1909 och fick då namnet Kungliga Vattenfallsstyrelsen som senare blev Vattenfall. 1907 påbörjades kraftverksbygget under ledning av det statliga verkets VD Vilhelm Hansen. Kraftverkets fyra första aggregat togs i bruk i mars 1910 och 1914 sattes det åttonde aggregatet i drift. Kraftstationen hade en kapacitet på 250 kubikmeter/sek. 1921 hade kraftverket byggts ut med ytterligare fem aggregat. Vattnet till kraftstationen leds fram via en 17m djup kanal som går förbi Trollhättefallen och parallellt med Trollhätte kanal. Arkitekt var Erik Josephson. 1908 levererades den första strömmen till Skara. 1909 hade kraftledningar dragits söderut till Göteborg, 1911 till Skövde i öster och 1922 hade Uddevalla i väster och Åmål i norr försetts med elektricitet från Olidan.
Under andra världskriget var Olidan utrustad med luftvärnskanoner på taken. Dessa togs sedan bort efter krigsslutet 1945.
En mindre provisorisk kraftstation hade uppförts strax intill Olidanstationen. Den nerlagda kraftstation användes från 1940-talet och fram till 1987 som provstation för Nohabs turbiner.
Kraftstationen är kulturminnesmärkt och fick en varsam totalrenovering, vilken var klar till stationens etthundraårsfirande 2010.
Direktören för kraftverket bodde i Olidans herrgård[2] fram till 1990-talet då den övergick till privat ägo.

SUMMARY
=======
Olidan Power Station (Swedish: Olidans kraftverk) is a hydroelectric power station located in Trollhättan, Sweden. First opened in 1910, it was the first large scale attempt at generating electricity from water in Sweden. The construction of Olidan led to the founding of the Kungliga Vattenfallsstyrelsen (Royal Waterfall Board), which later became Vattenfall.
While the first four turbines were put into service in 1910, construction continued, and another four were put into operation by 1914. Due to increasing demand, as well as increasing capacity due to the regulation of Göta älv, another five were then built. By 1921, Olidan carried a total of 13 turbines. 10 of these are still functioning, while the other three were cannibalized for parts. However, it is currently rare for more than three to be generating at the one time. Each turbine has a capacity of 10 MW.
When Olidan were completed in 1924, planning began for Hojum Power Station, which came into service in 1938.

Trollhättan
rollhättan (Swedish pronunciation: [trɔlˈhɛtːan]) is a city and the seat of Trollhättan Municipality, Västra Götaland County, Sweden, with 46,457 inhabitants in 2010.[1] It is located 75 km north of Sweden's second-largest city, Gothenburg.
Trollhättan cars formerly housed the headquarters and main production plant of Saab Automobile and now houses the headquarters and a production plant of National Electric Vehicle
In the late 19th century, hydropower was developed in Trollhättan. The Swedish energy corporation Vattenfall (waterfall) took its name from the falls in Trollhättan. Today the city has two operational hydropower stations, Olidan and Håjum. The hydropower has helped the city in its industrial revolution.
Trollhättan was granted city rights (which today have no legal effect) in 1916 at which time it had about 15,000 inhabitants, now grown to 54,000.
Name
Further information: Trollhättan Falls
The name Trollhättan is translated as troll's bonnet. The latter part hätta could also mean mountain top.
Other former names of the site are Eiðar and Stora Edet; the latter lives on in the name of the south-bordering municipality of Lilla Edet.
It also has a number of industrial facilities, headed by GKN Aerospace (previously known as Volvo Aero) and its contractual suppliers. As with parallel locations elsewhere in Europe, much of its production has moved from heavy industry to professional services and the creation of intellectual property. As of 2011 Trollhättan hosts a film production complex known as Trollywood; movies shot there include Show Me Love (Fucking Åmål), Dancer in the Dark, Melancholia, Dogville and studio scenes for Lilya 4-ever. The movie studio Film i Väst centered here produces about half of the Swedish feature-length films.

Powerplant in Trollhätten
The waterfalls in Trollhättan was tamed in the beginning of the 20th century with power plants. This movie is part in the series Shadows of History
Fallpåsläpp på Fallens dagar i Trollhättan 190720
The Trollhätte Falls are the natural waterfalls of Göta Älv in Sweden. When the so-called Hell-fall was still unregulated, the water flow amounted to 900 cubic meters / second. Today, the water is allowed to follow its original course only on special occasions and then the flow amounts to about 300 cubic meters / second (300.000 liters/sec). The remaining amount of water is used for power generation in the two power plants Hojum and Olidan. Around the turn of the century, part of the water's power was used by small industries. Trollhätte Falls has fascinated visitors from near and far through the centuries and is still one of the main tourist attractions in Western Sweden today.
Waterfalls in Trollhattan Zweden, wonderfull and beautifull
Trollhättan Falls is a waterfall in the Göta river (Göta älv) in Sweden.
The falls starts at Malgö Bridge in central Trollhättan, and has a total height of 32 metres, making up a large part of the 44 metre total fall of the river from Vänern to Kattegat. Before the hydroelectric powerplants was built the discharge of the falls was 300000 L/s, and the falls stretched down to Olidehålan, where the lower part of the fall was called Helvetesfallet (Hell Falls).
Most of the time the falls are used in the hydroelectric powerplants Hojum and Olidan on the eastern banks of the river.
Trollhättefallen
Trollhättefallen är Göta älvs naturliga fallfåra, från och med Malgöbron i centrala Trollhättan, med en fallhöjd om 32 meter, utgörande merparten av de 44 meter, som är den sammanlagda höjdskillnaden mellan Vänern och Kattegatt. Då vattenflödet ännu var oreglerat uppgick vattenflödet till 900 kubikmeter per sekund och fallpassagen sträckte sig ned till Olidehålan, där dess nedersta del benämndes Helvetesfallet.
Idag tillåts vattnet följa sitt ursprungliga lopp endast vid särskilda tillfällen, för att reglera vattenståndet i Vänern eller som en turistattraktion, till exempel under Fallens dagar, varvid flödet uppgår till omkring 300 kubikmeter per sekund. Resterande vattenmängd utnyttjas för kraftutvinning i de båda öster om älvsträckningen belägna kraftverken Hojum och Olidan. Redan kring sekelskiftet nyttiggjordes en del av vattnets kraft av småindustrier i anslutning till den östra älvstranden. Trollhättefallen har genom seklen fascinerat besökare från när och fjärran och är än idag en av Västsveriges främsta turistattraktioner.
Trollhättan Vlog
This video is uploaded thirteen days after I was in Trollhättan in Västergötland in Sweden and vlogged there. I was there and watched an amazing experience. I visited the water power plant and I watched the water from Göta älv be released from the building. I had fun in this video

Del2 Ebbes Kraftstation - Elektrifieringen
Ebbes kraftstation är en arkitektiskt vacker byggnad i Huskvarna. Idag är det ett industrimuseum som ägs av Jönköping Energi AB och visas av Hakarps hembygdsförening för intresserade. Ebbes kraftstation har spelat en betydande roll för elektrifieringen av bygden. Munksjö AB som bildades på 1860-talet insåg redan i slutet av 1800-talet att hantering av ånga och ångmaskiner var besvärligt. Man arrenderade därför ett kraftverk ute i Hovslätt vid Hökhult och fick el därifrån redan på 1890-talet...

Del5 Röttle Kraftstation - Elektrifieringen
Vi rör oss vidare mot Gränna men svänger av mot Röttle och beger oss till Röttle kraftstation. Återigen en arkitektiskt vacker byggnad från sin tid med en fantastisk utsikt över Vättern.
Lennart hittar en driftrapportbok från juni 1924 från kraftstationen i Gränna. Han läser den noggrant dokumenterade driftinformationen för aktuell dag.
Södra linjen slog ifrån kl. 03:55, 05:15, 05:30, 06:30, 06:40. Orsak: Åska.
Röttle kraftstation startade 1922 och man hade en väldigt lång resa innan det blev en kraftstation. Någon gång i början på 1910-talet så insåg man på Elektricitetsverket i Jönköping att man var tvungen att skaffa kraft från något annat ställe än från den koleldade kraftstationen man hade. ASEA hade ju skaffat sig patent på 3-fassystemet vid slutet av 1800-talet och det gjorde att man hade insett växelströmmens möjlighet att överföra kraft på långt håll. Det hade man inte insett tidigare när man körde med likström...

SUMMARY
=======
Hojum Power Station (alt. Håjum Power Station) is the second hydroelectric power station in Trollhättan, the first one being the older Olidan Power Station. While the first two turbines were taken into service in 1938, a third one was built and started in 1992. The first two are rated at 50 MW, while the third is rated at 70 MW.
The station is mainly located underground in a large mountain hall. This design was chosen because of the political instability in Europe at the time, which later led to the second world war. The relatively small building above ground was drawn by the Swedish architect Erik Hahr.
