The generating power is 676 gigawatts, and the annual power generation is 5920 terawatts.
1. Power generation
Power generation refers to the amount of electrical energy produced by the generator through energy conversion. The unit of measurement for power generation is "kilowatt hour".
Power generation includes thermal power generation, hydropower generation, nuclear power generation and other power generation (such as geothermal power generation, solar power generation, wind power generation, tidal power generation and biological can generate electricity). Power generation includes self-consumption of power plants (including self-contained power plants) (commonly known as plant power), power generation before new power generation equipment is put into operation, and power generation during trial operation after power generation equipment is overhauled or renovated; any power generated by the factory or the user The utilization should be counted in the power generation, and the unused power should not be counted in the water. The power generation does not include the power generation of electric AC-DC conversion units, exciters, and cycle conversion equipment. The amount of electricity generated is calculated based on the difference between the current period and the previous period's indication on the generating unit's watt-hour meter. The watt-hour meter indication is based on 24:00 on the last day of the period.
Power generation is also referred to as the sum of all the electricity produced by all power production sectors (including thermal power, hydropower, nuclear power, solar power, wind power, tidal power, etc.) in a specific period and in a specific area.
2. Annual power generation
The annual power generation of a power system refers to the sum of the actual electrical energy generated by all generating units in the system throughout the year, expressed in kilowatt hours (KW.h) ), megawatt hour (MW.h), gigawatt hour (GW.h), terawatt hour (TW.h), China's annual power generation in 2005 reached 2474.7 billion kilowatt hours.
