Abstract: The Alto Lindoso dam is located in the Lima river in the north of Portugal, near the border with Spain, right after the confluence of the Castro Laboreiro river with the Lima river itself. The construction of the Alto Lindoso power plant, which started its operation in 1992, was motivated not only by the production of electrical energy, but also as security for the electrical grid as it was able to quickly replace thermal power plant groups that could eventually fail. Taking this into account, it was decided to incorporate high power groups, taking advantage of the existing gross head (288 m) and a high flow rate.
