It was constructed by Perak River Hydro-Electric Power Company Ltd and completed in 1930.{{sfn|Central Electricity Board of the Federation of Malaya|1963|p=11}}Detailed descriptions of the scheme appear in the Minutes of the Institute of Civil Engineers, London, Volume 239, Issue 1935, 1935, pp. 253-312 and in the Architectural Review, Volume 75, No. 446, London, January 1934. The scheme was designed by consulting engineers Rendel, Palmer & Tritton of London and Vattenbyggnadsbyran (VBB) of Stockholm, Sweden. The architect was Osvald Almqvist. Architectural Review, No. 446, London, January 1934 : pps 3 - 7 It was the first major [hydroelectric dam](/source/hydroelectric_dam) and power station in [Malaysia](/source/Malaysia). It was preceded by two stations on Malaya's rivers; the 800kw Ulu Gombak station in [Selangor](/source/Selangor) (1905) that was used to provide [Kuala Lumpur](/source/Kuala_Lumpur)'s first electricity, and the Sungei Besi Tin Mines Ltd scheme at [Ulu Langat](/source/Ulu_Langat) that was purchased by FMS Electrical Department in 1929.{{sfn|Central Electricity Board of the Federation of Malaya|1963|p=11}} The Chenderoh plant was constructed in tandem with a steam power station at [Malim Nawar](/source/Malim_Nawar), 65 km south of Chenderoh, that was commissioned in 1928.Report of Badan Warisan Malaysia; Ipoh Echo Archive, 1 February 2013 Between them, the stations supplied power to [Kinta Valley](/source/Kinta_Valley)'s [tin mining](/source/tin_mining) industry and associated settlements. The station is operated by [Tenaga Nasional](/source/Tenaga_Nasional). ==Design== The power station is a [hydroelectric](/source/hydroelectric) power station, using 4 [turbines](/source/turbines) of 10.7 MW and one of 8.4 MW, totaling 40.5 MW installed capacity.{{Cite web|url=https://globalenergyobservatory.org/geoid/41453|title = Chenderoh Hydroelectric Power Plant Malaysia - GEO}} ==Technical specifications== The permanent dam components are: *Main [Dam](/source/Dam) **Crest elevation is {{convert|50|m}} above sea level (ASL), maximum flood level is {{convert|48|m}}, operating levels maximum 45 m. **[Reservoir](/source/Reservoir) area at {{convert|45|m}} ASL is {{convert|25|km2}}, and with a [catchment area](/source/Drainage_basin) of x,000 km2.{{clarify|reason=x,000 km2? |date=July 2012}} Storage volume is {{convert|95|e6m3}}. *Power Intake Structure - 5 bays. *[Spillway](/source/Spillway)- gated concrete [weir](/source/weir) with [chute](/source/Chute_(gravity)) and [flip bucket](/source/flip_bucket). *Power [Tunnel](/source/Tunnel)s - 5 tunnels. *[Powerhouse](/source/power_station) **powerhouse **with 5 [penstocks](/source/penstocks) to powertrains comprising 5 [turbines](/source/turbines) of 10.7MW each and one of 8.4 MW, 5 [generators](/source/Electric_generator) of 15MVA each and 4 [transformer](/source/transformer)s of 15MVA each. * Sirens **Used to warn residents when the dam is released or dam failure. **The entire system is the only one [Federal Signal](/source/Federal_Signal) 2001-SRN. ==See also== {{stack|{{Portal|Malaysia|Water|Renewable energy}}}} *[Tenaga Nasional](/source/Tenaga_Nasional) ==References== {{reflist}} == Sources == * {{citation|title=Cameron Highlands Hydro-Electric Scheme|author= Central Electricity Board of the Federation of Malaya|location= Kuala Lumpur|year= 1963 }} ==External links== *[http://www.tnb.com.my/tnb/pdf/HydroPower.pdf Tnb webpage]{{dead link|date=August 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} Category:Energy infrastructure completed in 1933 Category:1933 establishments in British Malaya Category:Hydroelectric power stations in Malaysia Category:Kuala Kangsar District Category:Dams in Malaysia --- Adapted from the Wikipedia article [Chenderoh Power Station](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chenderoh_Power_Station) by Wikipedia contributors ([contributor history](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chenderoh_Power_Station?action=history)).
