The largest hydropower station in the world

The largest hydropower station in the world is the Three Gorges Hydropower Station. The Three Gorges Hydropower Station is the largest hydropower station in the world and the largest construction project in China. The Three Gorges Hydropower Station has more than ten functions such as shipping, power generation and planting. The Three Gorges Hydropower Station was approved by the National People's Congress of China in 1992 and officially started construction in 1994. On the afternoon of June 1 2003, water storage and power generation began, and it was fully completed in 2009.

The explanation of the relevant motion of the Three Gorges Project points out that the Three Gorges Project has four major benefits-flood control, water resources regulation, power generation and shipping. Among them, flood control is considered as the core benefit of the Three Gorges Project. The annual designed power generation capacity of the Three Gorges Dam Power Station is 88.2 billion kWh, which has exceeded10 billion kWh in 20 18 years, exceeding the annual power generation capacity of 1gw nuclear reactor, equivalent to12 of China's nuclear power generation capacity, accounting for about 2% of China's total annual power generation capacity. The output of at least six super-large coal mines with an annual output of 5 million tons (each with a daily output of 6.5438+0.5 million tons) and three corresponding coal-fired power plants at the level of Tuoketuo Power Plant in Inner Mongolia (the world's largest coal-fired power plant with a daily emission of more than 70,000 tons of carbon dioxide) are saved.
