Yangtze Three Gorges Dam Project

1. The Three Gorges Project, referred to as the Three Gorges Project, is a large-scale water conservancy project built in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River in China. Distributed in the main stream of the Yangtze River from Chongqing, China to Yichang, Hubei. The dam is located in Sandouping, Yiling District, Yichang City, in the Xiling Gorge of the Three Gorges, and forms a cascade dispatching power station with Gezhouba Hydropower Station not far downstream. It is the largest hydropower station in the world and the largest engineering project in China. Many problems such as immigration and environment caused by it have been accompanied by great controversy since the moment it was built.

2. The Three Gorges Dam project is composed of the main building and diversion project, with a total length of about 3,335 m and a crest elevation of 185m, with a total investment of 95.46 billion yuan. On February 65, 438+0994, 65, 438+04, the project was officially started and successfully completed on May 20, 2006. The power generation of the Three Gorges Hydropower Station in 20 18 exceeded 1000 billion kWh, setting a new world record for the annual power generation of a single power station.

3. The dam height of Three Gorges Hydropower Station is 1, 8 1 m, the normal water level is1.75m, and the dam length is 2335m.. Static investment1352.66 billion RMB, installation of 32 hydropower units with a single capacity of 700,000 kilowatts. The last hydropower unit of the Three Gorges Power Station was put into operation on July 4th, 20 12, which means that the Three Gorges Hydropower Station with an installed capacity of 22.4 million kilowatts became the largest hydropower station and clean energy production base in the world on July 4th, 20 12.
