The Lubuge Dam (Chinese: 鲁布革水电站) is a rock-fill embankment dam on the Huangni River, a tributary of the Nanpan River, located near Lubugexiang in Luoping County on the border of Guizhou and Yunnan Provinces, China. The primary purpose of the dam is hydroelectric power generation and it supports a 600 MW power station. Construction ...
The Shilongba Hydropower Station is the first hydroelectric power plant in China. [31] It was built in Yunnan province in 1912, with a capacity of 240 kW. Due to the subsequent period of political and social instability, little additional progress was made in power infrastructure in the country at that time.
The Fengning Pumped Storage Power Station (Chinese: 丰宁抽水蓄能电站) is a pumped-storage hydroelectric power station about 145 km (90 mi) northwest of Chengde in Fengning Manchu Autonomous County of Hebei Province, China. Construction on the power station began in June 2013 and the first generator was commissioned in 2019, the last in ...
It uses the pumped-storage hydroelectric method to generate electricity. The plant has an installed capacity of 1,224 megawatts (1,641,000 hp). [1] Construction began in 2005 and the first generator was commissioned on 20 November 2014. [2] [3] The second generator was commissioned on 26 December 2014 and the final two were commissioned in June ...
This dam is built a few kilometers from the Bhutan-India border. The purpose of the dam is hydroelectric power production using run-of-the-river technology. [7] It is part of the Zangmu Hydropower Project and supports a 510 MW power station. Construction began in 2009 and the first generator was commissioned in November 2014. [8]
The primary purpose of the dam is hydroelectric power generation and it supports a 1,400 MW power station with 7 x 200 MW Kaplan turbines. The dam also provides navigation with a 500-ton flight of 3 ship locks and a 500-ton ship lift. [1] Other purposes include flood control, irrigation and recreation. [2]
On the right bank of the dam is the power station intake which receives water into six 9.6 m (31 ft) diameter penstocks which each feed a 700 MW Francis turbine-turbine in the underground power station. The drop in elevation from the intake to the turbine affords a maximum hydraulic head of 251 m (823 ft). Once discharged by the turbine, the ...
The dam's power stations are located downstream around the natural river bend and water is supplied via a 1.4 km (1 mi) tunnel. The original power house contains four 42.5 MW Francis turbine-generators and the expansion power house, located just downstream, contains one 100 MW Francis turbine-generator. [2] [3] [4] [5]
