Ybbs-Persenbeug power station, Run-of-river power station and museum in Ybbs an der Donau, Austria.
The Ybbs-Persenbeug power station generates electricity through six vertical Kaplan turbines and features a horizontal turbine with a 7.5-meter diameter.
Construction of the Ybbs-Persenbeug power station began in 1942, making it the first and fourth-strongest hydroelectric facility on the Austrian section of the Danube.
The power station museum presents interactive exhibits about hydroelectric power generation, including models, films, and bicycle simulators for educational purposes.
Guided tours operate from April through October, with weekday visits at 2 PM and weekend tours at 1 PM and 3 PM, requiring advance booking for groups.
Between 2015 and 2022, the facility underwent complete modernization of all main machine sets, control systems, and transformers to increase power generation capacity.
