'''Sultan Mahmud Power Station''' or '''Kenyir Dam''' ({{langx|ms|Empangan Kenyir}}) is the [[hydroelectric]] dam which forms [[Kenyir Lake]], [[Terengganu]], [[Malaysia]]. It is located 50&nbsp;km southwest of [[Kuala Terengganu]] on the Kenyir River. The project is a multipurpose hydroelectric power and [[flood mitigation]] scheme.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The Kenyir River was first identified for hydroelectric potential in 1961 but it proved financially unviable due to low energy demand and high cost of construction. Years later in 1972 the [[Malaysian government]] revived the study and further site investigations were proceeded.<br />
<br />
Construction started in 1978 and was completed in 1985. In 1987 the dam was officially opened by [[Sultan Mahmud Al-Muktafi Billah Shah]] the [[Sultan of Terengganu]]. The dam's power station was named after the Sultan as the "Sultan Mahmud Hydro Electric Power Station".<ref name="kenyirlake">{{cite web|url=http://www.kenyirlake.com/kenyir_dam.htm|title=Kenyir Dam|date=2009-05-21|work=Ping Anchorage Travel & Tours Sdn. Bhd.}}</ref> The station is operated by [[Tenaga Nasional Berhad]].<br />
<br />
==Kenyir dam technical specifications==<br />
The power station is a [[hydroelectricity|hydroelectric]] power station, using four [[turbine]]s of 100 [[Watt#Megawatt|megawatt]] each.<ref name="hydropower">{{cite web|url=http://www.tnb.com.my/tnb/pdf/HydroPower.pdf|title=TNB Hydro Power Schemes|date=2009-05-21|work=Tenaga Nasional Berhad}}{{Dead link|date=June 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=no }}</ref> Continuous power output is 165 MW. Average annual energy output is 1,600 GWh.<br />
<br />
The dam is 150 m in height above foundation, with a crest length of 800 m, and the dam fill volume is 15.20 million cubic metres. Crest elevation is 155 m [[above sea level]] (ASL) while maximum flood level is 153 m. The maximum operating level is 145 m and a minimum of 120 m. The [[reservoir]] surface area at 145 m ASL is 370&nbsp;km<sup>2</sup>, and with a [[drainage basin|catchment area]] of 2,600&nbsp;km<sup>2</sup> Storage capacity is 13,600 million cubic metres.<br />
<br />
In case of overflow during monsoon seasons there is a [[spillway]] that is ungated/free flow, with a maximum capacity of 7,000 cubic metres per second. Water flows through four [[penstock]]s into four [[water turbine|turbine]]s turning four air-cooled [[electric generator]]s rated at 100 [[Watt#Megawatt|megawatt]] each.<br />
