Chinese 16000MW Baihetan Hydropower Station will be operated on 1st,July

 


Baihetan Hydropower Station, the world's second largest after the Three Gorges Dam, is expected to have its last reservoir completed on Monday in Southwest China. 

The station, with a total installed capacity of 16 million kilowatts, is expected to generate more than 62 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity per year, which would reduce carbon dioxide emission by about 51.6 million tons, according to experts. 

The Baihetan station is located downstream of the Jinsha River, in the upper section of the Yangtze River, in Ningnan county of Southwest China's Sichuan Province, and Qiaojia county in neighboring Yunnan Province. 

The construction of the main body of the station is expected to be finished on Monday. Its first unit is scheduled to start operations on July 1. The station will be in full operation by the end of 2022. 

The Baihetan hydropower station is the world's first to have a power unit with a capacity of 1 million kilowatts with 111 revolutions per minute. The station is expected to be China's second largest hydropower project after the Three Gorges Dam when completed.

The Three Gorges Dam, generated 103.1 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity in 2020 as of Sunday morning, breaking the world record for annual power generation volume by a single hydropower station. 

When asked how the Baihetan station is compared with similar stations in other countries, Wang Xiaojun, an engineer of the project, told media that "there is no better station around the world."

A video went viral on Sunday on China's social media platforms. In the video, a coin stands firmly on a board, under which an operating unit of the Baihetan Hydropower Station is spinning at 111 revolutions per minute, but the coin did not fall down, showing the stability of the unit, Wang said. 

When asked if a coin would fall with the vibrations of the spinning generator as in plants overseas, Wang said that "the question is that other countries don't have similar generating units."

"We have done it with the highest level. When you look around, you find there are no other rivals," he said, noting that the units are totally developed in the country.  

The video was liked by many Chinese netizens who said that it makes them feel proud of the country's development in technology.

Get to know China’s wind farms —— Inner Mongolia Ulanqab Wind Farm(wind power)

  Introduction Inner Mongolia is the richest region in China in terms of wind resources and the closest to the country's electricity load, making it ideal for the development of mega wind power bases. Because of its unique wind resources, it has become a haven for investment companies to capture wind power projects. The most representative of these projects is the first phase of the Wulanchabu wind power project, which is the pinnacle of China's wind power industry. Construction time： On September 26, 2019, the world's largest single onshore wind farm, the first phase of the 6 million kilowatt demonstration project of the Ulanqab Wind Power Base, officially began construction.   Total investment： The Wulanchabu Wind Power Base Phase I 6 million kilowatt demonstration project is the first wind power project to be included in the national plan for clean energy parity outbound transmission, with a total static investment of 36.1 billion yuan, making it the largest single onsho...

Water Turbine Design for Small Scale Hydro Energy

                                                  https://www.boland-hydroturbine.com/ Selecting the Best Type of Water Turbine Design Selecting the best type of water turbine design for your particular situation often depends on the amount of head and flow rate that is available at your particular location and whether it is at the side of a river or stream, or the water is to be channelled or piped directly to your location. Other factors include whether you want an enclosed “reaction turbine design” such as the Francis turbine or an open “impulse turbine design”, such as the Pelton turbine as well as the speed of rotation of your proposed electrical generator. By analysing all of these factors together you can get some indication of what type of  Water Turbine Design  may work best for your particular situation. Knowing the difference between ...
