The volume of the one million kilowatt generator of Baihetan Hydropower Station is 904 square meters. According to relevant information, a single one million kilowatt hydropower unit of Baihetan Hydropower Station has a diameter of 16.2 meters, a height of more than 50 meters, and a weight of more than 8,000 tons. This huge hydroelectric power station is located on the Jinsha River, in Ningnan County, Sichuan Province, and Qiaojia County, Yunnan Province.
It depends on the amount of energy generated. The calculation of coal consumption is generally based on a usage time of 5,500 hours. In this case, a 1 million kilowatt thermal power plant uses approximately 1.5 to 1.8 million tons of standard coal per year. Standard coal refers to coal with a low calorific value of 7,000 kcal/kg.
We can only give here an approximate range of consumptione coal, because the efficiency of production units varies considerably. If it is an ultra-supercritical unit, it will consume less coal, while a subcritical unit will consume more. coal.
