Hydroelectric power stations in China.
When talking about hydropower, it can be said that China will soon become a pioneer in this field.
It is true that the proportion of energy that is generated by relying on water in China is only thirty four percent, which is less than what is recorded in the rest of the world.
Where this percentage in most countries ranges between sixty and seventy percent.
Hydropower project in the course of the China River.
However, a hydropower project located in the riverbed that flows through the provinces of Cheng, Tuan and Yunnan in western China, will become the fourth hydropower project in China.
When it becomes operational, that station will be able to produce energy at a value of ten intervals of two gigawatts, with an annual capacity equivalent to thirty-eight intervals of ninety-three billion kilowatts per hour, and the total project is estimated at fifteen billion dollars.
This project represents the largest hydroelectric power station in the world, and many smart technologies have been relied upon in its completion, including automatic temperature monitoring and automatic payment of systems.
Where China has shown its maximum technological potential in this field, the power plant contains a thermometer integrated with cooling tubes inside the concrete, to determine the concrete temperature in real time.
Also, the automatic system can adjust the water flow to cool the concrete in case of need.
Construction of a hydroelectric power station in China.
Where the media reported that two million joints of eight cubic meters of concrete were used to complete the project.
It is the first hydroelectric power station to be completed using low-temperature cement.
This cement can resist many problems that cause cracking in the structure, thus preserving the project for a longer period.
It is a global problem in the completion of the hydroelectric station, and the industry has found a solution to it.
Adaptation of building concrete to the atmosphere.
The temperature of the concrete is supposed to be seven and one degree Celsius, and the temperature of the surrounding air is twenty-nine degrees Celsius, and therefore the low-temperature cement will be better to protect the structure from the effects of heat.
The station is designed in the form of an arc of concrete with a height of two hundred and seventy meters, a length of three hundred meters, and a thickness of fifty-one meters.
Making the energy dam the thinnest energy dam in the world, the station will be able to store about 7,4 billion cubic meters of water in its main reservoir.
Characteristics of the power plant and dam.
As for the depth of the underground station, it broke a record for the deepest hydroelectric station in the world.
Where the depth reached to eighty-nine separator eighty. The equivalent of a thirty-storey building, the station will be able to generate thirty-eight points of nine billion kilowatts of electricity annually.
After operation twelve reinforcement units in it.
It is assumed that the first unit began work in August of the year two thousand and twenty. As for the second unit, it began work in July of the year two thousand and twenty.
The project is supposed to be completed by December of the year two thousand and twenty-one.
The station includes a total of twelve turbine generators, with a capacity of eight hundred and fifty megawatts, which will be the largest in the world.
This plant will be the best in the world in terms of the amount of energy produced annually, and this will make the year less than twelve points of two million tons of coal annually, and the station will also reduce emissions of carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide by thirty points, fifty-five million tons, and one hundred and four thousand tons annually in a row.
This plant can generate a power of one hundred and twenty billion kilowatt-hours of electricity, annually, in addition to that, it will help in some environmental problems, including floods. It also helps, as we mentioned before, to provide twelve separators of two million tons of coal, and to dispose of Thirty-five million tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually.
This project will help the Chinese government achieve its goals of producing an additional percentage; It is estimated at fifteen percent of the electricity.
Relying on non-fossil fuels, this plant will be part of a massive project by the Chinese government, which aims to improve the national energy structure, and will later continue to build two large power plants.
China’s lines in the construction of more than one power plant.
It is also expected to be more than one station, which will help stimulate economic development in the country, as China seeks through these projects to achieve a renaissance in the field of energy and sustainable development of the national economy.
This is what needs clean energy sources.
The total power of the new stations will be about three hundred and fifty gigawatts. This represents eighteen percent of the total energy needed by the country.
Despite this, a third of China’s hydroelectric power stations are classified as small.
That is, the capacity of each of them is less than fifty megawatts.
Last year, China demolished hundreds of small dams across the country!?
In order to improve water flow and comply with new legal regulations that prevent industrial development in nature reserves, investigations have shown that there are at least twenty-four thousand small hydropower stations in China, causing damage to the environment.
New China projects.
But the new projects that China is implementing in this field will make it the world leader in the field of hydropower after only a few years.
China is seeking to complete the largest hydroelectric projects in the world by exploiting the large rivers that cross its territory.
Among the project is an educational station with a capacity of ninety-seven thousand megawatts .
