Centrale hydroélectrique du Loch Sloy

La centrale hydroélectrique du Loch Sloy est une installation hydroélectrique située entre le Loch Sloy et Inveruglas, sur la rive ouest du Loch Lomond en Écosse. Le projet a été conçu par les architectes d’Édimbourg Tarbolton & Ochterlony. Après la mort de Matthew Ochterlony en 1946, le projet a été poursuivi par Harold Tarbolton seul. La construction a commencé en mai 1945, sous les auspices du North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board et s’est achevée en 1949. La cérémonie d’ouverture officielle a eu lieu le 18 octobre 1950 et a été suivie par la reine mère Elizabeth. Le projet a revendiqué un nouveau record britannique de petits tunnels en janvier 1951, après qu’une distance de 278 pieds ait été forée sur une période de sept jours. Historic Scotland a désigné le bâtiment moderne de la centrale électrique et le barrage comme bâtiments classés des catégories A et B respectivement. Vingt et un hommes ont perdu la vie pendant la construction. La main-d’œuvre comprenait également des prisonniers de guerre allemands. L’installation est exploitée par Scottish and Southern Energy, et est normalement en mode veille, prête à produire de l’électricité pour répondre aux pics soudains de demande. Elle peut atteindre sa pleine capacité dans les 5 minutes suivant un signal de départ.

ГЕС Слой

ГЕС Слой — гідроелектростанція в Шотландії, розташована у південно-західній частині Грампіанських гір, на північ від естуарію річки Клайд. Станція використовує перепад висот між витягнутим з півночі на південь найбільшим за площею озером Шотландії Лох-Ломонд (через річку Левен має стік у зазначений естуарій біля Дамбартону) та розташованим західніше в гірському масиві озером Лох-Слой. На річці Inveruglas Water, яка забезпечує природний стік із Лох-Слой та впадає справа у Лох-Ломонд, звели бетонну гравітаційно-контрфорсну греблю висотою 56 метрів та довжиною 357 метри, що підняла рівень озера на 47 метрів та збільшила його довжину вдвічі, утримуючи при цьому до 34 млн м3 води. Окрім природного притоку, водосховище поповнюється за рахунок деривації через тунелі (на окремих ділянках — канали) з оточуючих гірських масивів, зокрема: - з північного заходу та півночі через два тунелі, котрі транспортують воду з ряду правих приток Лох-Ломонд та річки Falloch, яка впадає в нього з північного напрямку; - з півдня через тунель, що збирає ресурс кількох правих приток Лох-Лонг — напряму з'єднаного з естуарієм Клайд озера, долина якого витягнута західніше від гідрологічної системи Лох-Ломонд — Левен; - з заходу через тунель та канал, які транспортують ресурс від водозаборів на лівих притоках гідрологічної системи річки Fyne та озера Loch Fyne, витягнутої у меридіональному напрямку ще західніше від озер Лох-Слой та Лох-Лонг (подібно до останнього, озеро Loch Fyne напряму з'єднане з естуарієм Клайду). Від сховища Лох-Слой до машинного залу на березі Лох-Ломонд прокладено дериваційний тунель довжиною 3 км та діаметром від 4 до 4,7 метра. Будівництво цієї споруди під гірським масивом Ben Vorlich потребувало виїмки 180 тис. м3 скельного матеріалу. При максимальному рівні Лох-Слой вона забезпечує напір у 277 метрів. Після верхнього балансуючого резервуару, який складається з вертикальної шахти висотою 83 метри та камери розмірами 27,4х11,6х8,5 метрів, тунель розгалужується на два діаметром по 3 метри, які невдовзі переходять у чотири водоводи діаметром по 2,1 метра та довжиною біля 0,5 км. Машинний зал первісно оснастили чотирма турбінами типу Френсіс потужністю по 32,5 МВт. Після завершення у 1999 році реконструкції вартістю 113 млн фунтів стерлінгів, яка включала заміну трьох турбін на нові по 40 МВт, загальна потужність станції зросла до 152 МВт, що робить її найпотужнішою ГЕС у Великій Британії (без урахування гідроакумулюючих станцій). Станція здатна виробляти 130 млн кВт-год електроенергії на рік. На початку 2010-х років з'явився проект доповнення станції функцією гідроакумуляції шляхом встановлення двох насосів потужністю по 30 МВт. Видача продукції відбувається по ЛЕП, що працює під напругою 132 кВ. Примітки

Wick High School

Wick High School is a secondary school in Wick, Scotland, under the control of The Highland Council. In September 2008 it had an enrolment of 838. Being one of only two secondary schools in Caithness, it takes in pupils from a large number of primary schools. History Wick High School was built in 1910. It was originally only one building looking out onto West Banks Avenue. This building used to be in use but it shut on Tuesday 4 April 2017, and four extensions were added during the 1960s to cope with the increase in enrolment. Intake Wick High School takes in pupils from eleven primary schools: Dunbeath, Lybster, Thrumster, Noss (Wick), Newton Park (Wick), Watten, Keiss, Bower, and Canisbay. In 2008 there was an enrolment of 838, and the rector was Alistair Traill. In May 2012 the Herald conducted a survey of all of Scotland's secondary schools. The survey gave a percentage of how many senior pupils had achieved five Highers or more in their tenure at the school, and a percentage of how many pupils received free school meals. In a list of Highland Schools, Wick came 21st out of 30 with 5% of senior pupils having achieved five Highers or more. This is 5% behind both the Highland average and the Scottish average of 10%. Wick came 3rd out of 30 when it came to free school meals, scoring 15.6%, both ahead of the Highland average of 9.6%, and the Scottish average of 12.7%.

Bahnhof Glasgow Central

Glasgow Central ist der größere der beiden Hauptbahnhöfe der britischen Stadt Glasgow. Er ist der größte Bahnhof in Schottland und Endstation der Hauptstrecke West Coast Main Line. Von hier aus verkehren Fernzüge der Gesellschaften Avanti West Coast und der Caledonian Sleeper nach England. Darüber hinaus bietet ScotRail einen ausgedehnten Vorortsverkehr zu den südlichen Vororten, nach Ayrshire und in Richtung Edinburgh an. Im Betriebsjahr 2004/05 nutzten 29,380 Millionen Fahrgäste den Bahnhof, er ist somit der meistfrequentierte außerhalb Londons. Glasgow Central ist einer von 17 britischen Bahnhöfen, die nicht von einer Bahngesellschaft verwaltet werden, sondern von der Infrastrukturgesellschaft Network Rail. Der Bahnhof besteht aus zwei Teilen, einem Kopfbahnhof und einem unterirdischen Durchgangsbahnhof. Geschichte Der Bahnhof wurde von der Caledonian Railway 1879 am Nordufer des Flusses Clyde zusammen mit der Caledonian Railway Bridge eröffnet. Er verfügte über acht Bahnsteige, die viergleisige Brücke über den Clyde stellte die Verbindung zur früheren Endstation Bridge Street am Südufer her. Bald erwies sich der Bahnhof als zu klein, man verbreiterte die Brücke und errichtete darauf einen temporären Bahnsteig. Am 10. August 1896 wurde die unterirdisch verlaufende Glasgow Central Railway eröffnet, deren Bahnhof rechtwinklig zum Hauptbahnhof liegt und Verbindungen in Ost-West-Richtung durch die südliche Innenstadt ermöglichte. Von 1901 bis 1905 erfolgte der Neubau des Kopfbahnhofs. Die acht bestehenden Bahnsteige wurden bis zur Argyle Street verlängert, außerdem entstanden sechs neue. Über den Clyde baute man eine neue achtgleisige Brücke, während der Bahnhof Bridge Street geschlossen wurde. Robert Rowand Anderson entwarf das Central Hotel, das die nördliche Fassade des Bahnhofs bildet. Die Tunnelstrecke der Glasgow Central Railway wurde aufgrund nachlassender Nachfrage 1959 von British Railways für den Personenverkehr geschlossen und 1964 für den Gesamtverkehr stillgelegt. 1979 erfolgte die Wiedereröffnung als Argyle Line (nach der über der Strecke liegenden Argyle Street), für die die bis zu ihrer Stilllegung dampfbetriebene Tunnelstrecke elektrifiziert und umfassend saniert wurde. Elektrische Triebwagen von Scotrail bedienen auf der Argyle Line in dichtem Takt den als Glasgow Central Low Level bezeichneten Tunnelbahnhof und verbinden ihn mit den Vororten in Lanarkshire und Dunbartonshire.
