All units of Wudongde Hydropower Station were put into operation on schedule

At 11 o'clock on June 16, the last unit of Jinsha River Wudongde Hydropower Station successfully completed 72-hour trial operation, successfully integrated into China Southern Power Grid, and officially put into operation for power generation
.
So far, the Wudongde Hydropower Station has achieved the goal
of putting all 12 850,000-kilowatt units into operation on schedule.

Wudongde Hydropower Station is a major national project for the implementation of "west-to-east power transmission" and an important part of the flood control system of
the Yangtze River.
In December 2015, the main project of Wudongde Hydropower Station officially started in full swing, and in nearly six years, it has created a number of world's best
.

The barrage arch dam of the Wudongde hydropower station is 270 meters high, equivalent to 96 stories high
.
It is also the world's thinnest 300-meter double-curved arch dam, with a thickness of 51.
41 meters at the bottom and only 11.
98 meters
at its thinnest part.

The main plant of the left and right banks of the hydropower station is 333 meters long, 32.
5 meters long and 89.
8 meters high respectively, ranking first in the world in excavation height
.
The total volume of a single underground power plant building is larger
than a water cube.

The total installed capacity of Wudongde Hydropower Station is 10.
2 million kilowatts, ranking seventh in the world and fourth
in China.
A total of 12 hydropower units with a single capacity of 850,000 kilowatts have been installed, second only to Baihetan Hydropower Station, the second in the world, and the largest hydroelectric generator set
that has been put into operation in the world.
The total installed capacity of the power station is 10.
2 million kilowatts, and the average power generation for many years is 38.
91 billion kilowatt hours, which is equivalent to saving 12.
2 million tons of standard coal and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 30.
5 million tons
per year.

Among them, the rotor of the hydro generator weighs 2,100 tons, which is equivalent to the weight of 1,400 ordinary family cars, the heaviest
in the world.

Since the first batch of units was put into operation in June last year, the Wudongde hydropower station has produced a total of 24.
072 billion kWh, equivalent to Kunming's electricity
consumption for eight months.
When the hydropower station is fully developed, the power generation capacity in one day can meet the daily electricity
consumption of 300,000 people for one year.

The total storage capacity of the Wudongde hydropower station reached 7.
408 billion cubic meters, equivalent to 518 West Lakes
.
The maximum discharge capacity can reach 37,362 cubic meters per second, and the entire West Lake
can be filled in 7 minutes.
