The Three Gorges Hydroelectric Power Station is larger than the Baihetan Hydroelectric Power Station. “The main project of the Three Gorges Dam consists of two parts: the main building and the diversion project. The total length is approximately 3,335 m and the elevation of the top of the dam is 185 meters. The installed capacity of the Three Gorges Hydropower Station has reached 22.4 million kilowatts, making it the world's largest hydropower plant and clean energy production base.
The normal water storage level of the Baihetan Hydropower Station reservoir is 825 meters, with a corresponding storage capacity of 20.6 billion cubic meters. The underground plant is equipped with 16 units, with a planned initial installed capacity of 16 million kilowatts and. an average electricity production over several years of 60.24 billion kilowatt hours. The plant plans to start progenerate electricity with the first batch of units in 2021, and the project will be completed in 2022. Once the power station is completed, it will become the second largest hydropower station in China after the Three Gorges Hydropower Station.Detailed information:
Construction scale of the Three Gorges Hydroelectric Power Station:
The units of the Three Gorges Hydroelectric Power Station Gorges are arranged at the rear of the dam, 32 hydroelectric units of 700,000 kilowatts have been installed, including 14 on the left bank, 12 on the right bank and 6 underground. In addition, there are two 50,000 kilowatt power supply units. the installed capacity is 22.5 million kilowatts, far surpassing the world's second largest power supply unit of Itaipu hydroelectric power station in Brazil.
The initial plan for the Three Gorges power plant is for 26 units of 700,000 kilowatts, which ismeans an installed capacity of 18.2 million kilowatts and an annual electricity production of 84.7 billion kilowatt hours. Later, an underground power station was built in the “Baishijian” mountain of the Right Bank Dam, and six 700,000 kilowatt hydroelectric generators were built. Coupled with the two 50,000 kilowatt power plants of the Three Gorges Hydroelectric Power Plant, the total installed capacity reaches 22.5 million kilowatts.
China Three Gorges Corporation announced on the 1st that as of midnight on December 31, 2014, the annual power output of the Three Gorges Hydropower Station reached 98.8 billion kilowatt hours, setting a new world record for electricity production. annual electricity production of a single hydroelectric power station and for the first time became the hydroelectric power station with the highest annual electricity productionve to the world.
