What is the total installed capacity of the Three Gorges Hydropower Station?

After the completion of the Three Gorges Power Station, the total installed capacity is 22.5 million kilowatts, and the first batch of units of the Three Gorges Power Station can be put into power generation, with more considerable benefits and total installed capacity. If you add a special transportation line. The Three Gorges Power Station has 32 units, with a single unit of 700,000 kilowatts.

The total installed capacity of the Three Gorges Project is only discovered this year. The Three Gorges generators have all been put into production: (left bank 14+ right bank 12+ underground power station 6) * 700,000 kilowatts+power station 2 * 50,000 kilowatts = 22.5 million kilowatts.

The dam elevation of Three Gorges Hydropower Station is185m, the storage elevation is175m, the reservoir length is 2,335m, and the static investment is135.266 billion yuan, and 32 hydropower units with a single capacity of 700,000 kilowatts are installed. 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.

2. Construction scale

The Three Gorges Dam is a concrete gravity dam with a length of 2,335 meters, a bottom width of 1 15 meters, a top width of 40 meters, an elevation of 185 meters and a normal water level of 175 meters. The dam body can resist the once-in-a-million-year flood, and the maximum flow can reach 65438+ million cubic meters per second. The earthwork excavation and filling volume of the whole project is about 6.5438+34 million cubic meters, the concrete pouring volume is about 28 million cubic meters, and the steel consumption is 593,000 tons. The total length of the reservoir is more than 600 kilometers, the average width of the water surface is 1. 1 km, the total area is 1.084 km2, and the total storage capacity is 39.3 billion cubic meters, of which the flood control storage capacity is 2.21.50 billion cubic meters, and the regulation capacity is seasonal.

The Three Gorges Hydropower Station is arranged behind the dam, and 32 700,000 kW hydro-generator sets are installed, including 4 on the left bank 14, 2 on the right bank 12 and 6 underground. In addition, there are two 50,000-kilowatt power supply units with a total installed capacity of 22.5 million kilowatts, far exceeding the Itaipu Hydropower Station in Brazil, which ranks second in the world.

The preliminary planning of the Three Gorges Power Station is 26 units with 700,000 kilowatts, that is, the installed capacity is 65.438+08.2 million kilowatts, and the annual power generation is 84.7 billion kWh. Later, an underground power station was built at Baishijian Mountain, the right bank dam, and six 700,000-kilowatt hydro-generators were built. Together with the two 50,000-kilowatt power stations owned by the Three Gorges Power Station, the total installed capacity has reached 22.5 million kilowatts.
