The largest hydropower station in Sichuan

The largest hydropower station in Sichuan is Baihetan Hydropower Station.

Baihetan Hydropower Station is located on the Jinsha River at the junction of ningnan county, Sichuan Province and Qiaojia County, Yunnan Province, with a total installed capacity of160,000 kW. It is the largest hydropower project under construction in the world with the highest technical difficulty. A total of 16 hydro-generator sets with global maximum power of one million kilowatts independently developed by China were installed, and 13 units were put into operation by Baihetan Hydropower Station 165438.

Introduction:

Installation of the unit began on September 20th, 2020, and rotor hoisting was completed on September 20th, 2020. On September 20th, 2022, 15 entered the 72-hour trial operation stage. The trial operation results show that 13 unit runs stably and reliably, and all data parameters are excellent, which meets the standard of high-quality unit for million kilowatt hydro-generator set of Baihetan Hydropower Station.

After the completion of Baihetan Hydropower Station, the average power generation for many years will reach 62.443 billion kWh, which can meet the annual electricity demand of about 75 million people, which is equivalent to saving about 6.5438+0968 million tons of standard coal and reducing about 5.65438+06 million tons of carbon dioxide every year.

Baihetan Hydropower Station will form the world's largest clean energy corridor with the Three Gorges, Gezhouba, Xiangjiaba, Xiluodu, Wudongde and other six hydropower stations, effectively alleviating the power shortage in Central China and East China and Sichuan, Yunnan and Guangdong provinces, and delivering a steady stream of power to the power-deficient provinces.
