The Medog Hydropower Station has a large water capacity, but it was not built.

The reason why Medog Hydropower Station has a large water capacity has never been built is because it involves many extremely complicated natural conditions and the world's leading engineering and technical problems.

1, the basic data of hydrometeorological geology in Medog area is seriously insufficient.

2. The traffic conditions in Medog area are poor, and there are obstacles in the development, construction, external traffic and installation management of super-giant hydropower equipment and facilities.

3. The geological disasters in Medog area have harsh earthquake conditions and fragile ecological environment conditions. The Yarlung Zangbo River will bring serious landslide, debris flow and sediment problems, as well as the stability of buildings under strong earthquakes and geostress.

4. The geographical particularity of Medog area itself: some rivers belong to international rivers, and the international relations of rivers need to be considered; Belonging to a special minority area, we need to consider social and economic development and national historical geography.

5. The design and construction of ultra-high head hydraulic structures should be considered.

Extended data

The establishment of Medog Hydropower Station is of great economic significance.

1. Motuo Hydropower Station is located in the "big bend" gorge section of 260km from Paicun (district) in Milin County to Xirang Village in Motuo County in the lower reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River in Tibet, with a drop of 2350m and an average annual discharge of 60 billion m.. . The straight-line distance of the bend is 35 km, which can be used to make a huge tunnel diversion. With a drop of 400 meters, each hydropower station can become the second super hydropower station in the world.

2. The Yarlung Zangbo River runs from Paizhen, Tibet, China to the Grand Canyon in southern Tibet, China (occupied by Indian), with abundant water and concentrated drop. The installed capacity of developable hydropower station is about 65.438+0.2 billion kw.

3. Only the construction and development of Medog Hydropower Station, due to the small number of immigrants and the large loss of inundation, initially estimated its power generation benefits, with an annual power generation of 200 billion kWh, equivalent to the national total hydropower generation of 204.3 billion kWh in 2000. It can replace 80 million tons of standard coal or 40 million tons of oil. Its quantity is equivalent to 56% of China's annual oil import of 7 1 10,000 tons.
