Mentioned hydropower station, we generally first think of the Three Gorges hydropower station, in fact, now China is the top international hydropower country, with large and small hydropower station has about 50,000, installed capacity of about 3.56 trillion kilowatt-hours, are ranked first in the international.In addition to the Three Gorges hydropower station, China as well as xiluodu, Baihe Beach, wudongde hydropower station is also very famous, in the world's top 20 hydropower stations,China accounted for 11, the world's installed capacity of the top 5 hydropower stations,China accounted for 4.Top spot: Three Gorges hydropower station



Located in Yichang city, Hubei province, China's Three Gorges hydropower station is today the international largest comprehensive water conservancy and hydropower project,it has the international largest concrete dam,the international largest river lock,the international largest vertical ship lift machine, of course!Its installed capacity is also the largest in the world,it has the Yangtze River left and Right Bank of the two Dam-type hydropower station,a right bank underground power station and a Left Bank Power Station, a total of 34 units of hydro-generator sets, with a total installed capacity of 22.5 million kilowatts,in 2012 32 sets of 700,000 kilowatts of motor set up into production (another two 50,000 kilowatts of power units).

Three Gorges hydropower station reservoir capacity of 39.3 billion cubic meters,in 2014,the Three Gorges power station annual power generation capacity of 98.8 billion kilowatt-hours,a single hydropower station annual Power Generation new international record, and for the first time become the highest annual power generation in the world hydropower station.2nd place, Baihe Tan hydropower station

Baihe Tan hydropower station is located in Ningnan county, Sichuan province and Qiaojia county, Yunnan province, is the Jinsha River downstream of the Main River Cascade development of the second large hydropower station, the normal reservoir water level of 825 meters,storage capacity of about 20.6 billion cubic meters, planning device 16 sets of 1 million kilowatts of Generator Sets, initially proposed installed capacity of 16 million kilowatts, estimated annual average power generation capacity of 62.4 billion kilowatts.Hydropower station is also the international capital loaded with 1 million kilowatts of ultra-giant mixed-flow hydroelectric generator sets, single generator sets about 50 meters high,more than 8000 tons, comparable to the component of a large destroyer, but also beyond the component of the Eiffel Tower in France, each wheel has 15 blades, each blade component of up to 11 tons.

The hydropower station in 2017 the main project started(some early projects as early as 2011 began), the first batch of power generation units in 2021, 2022 project is completed, after the completion of the Three Gorges hydropower station will become the second largest hydropower station in China and the International second largest after the Three Gorges hydropower station.Third place, Itaipu hydroelectric power station

Itaipu hydroelectric power station is located on the Paraná River bordering Brazil and Paraguay (the fifth largest river in the world, the annual runoff of 725 billion cubic meters), through the border between Brazil and Paraguay River, it was built by Brazil and Paraguay, reservoir capacity of about 29 billion cubic meters, its generator sets and power generation by the two countries evenly divided.Now a total of 20 sets of 700,000 kilowatts of generator sets to generate electricity.

the total installed capacity of 14 million kilowatts, the annual power generation capacity of 90 billion degrees, of which in 2008 the power generation capacity of 94.86 billion degrees.Because it has already been built, and China's Baihe Beach hydropower station is still under construction,so now it is the second largest international installed capacity,power generation capacity of the second largest hydropower station,second only to China's Three Gorges power station.Fourth place, xiluodu hydropower station

Xiluodu hydropower station is located in Leibo county, Sichuan province and yongshan county, Yunnan province bordering the Jinsha River Canyon section, is China's second largest, the third largest international hydropower station, its installed capacity and demeanor spectrum hydropower station is quite, about the Shore Power Station a total of 18 sets of 770,000 kilowatts of giant hydroelectric generator units, with a total installed capacity of 13.86 million kilowatts, xiluodu hyperbolic arch dam bottom elevation 324.5 m,

top elevation 610m, dam height 285.5 m, reservoir capacity of 18 sets of 770,000 kilowatts, total installed capacity of 13.86 million kilowatts, dam height 610m, dam height 285.5 m, reservoir capacity of 13.86 million kW, dam height 610m, dam height 285.5 m, reservoir capacity of 13.86 million kW, dam height 610m, dam height 285.5 m, reservoir capacity of 13.86 million kW, 12.6 billion cubic meters, adjustable storage capacity of 6.4 billion cubic meters, June 30, 2014, all generator sets power generation production.5th place, wudongde hydroelectric power station

Wudongde hydropower station is located in huidong county, Sichuan province and Yunnan Luquan county bordering the Jinsha River, Jinsha river hydropower base downstream of the top rung power station.The hydropower station dam top elevation of 988 meters,the highest dam height of 270 meters, a total storage capacity of 7.408 billion cubic meters, a total of 12 units of stand-alone capacity of 850,000 kilowatts of hydro-generator sets, the total installed capacity of 10.2 million kilowatts, estimated annual power generation capacity of 38.91 billion kilowatts.

Wudongde hydropower station on December 24, 2015 officially started the main project of the construction project, the program in July 2020 under the lock water storage, the first unit in August to generate electricity, in December 2021 all units put into operation to generate electricity.In addition to the above several hydropower stations, China's more famous large-scale hydropower station as well as xiangjiaba hydropower station (installed capacity of 7.75 million kilowatts), Longtan hydropower station (installed capacity of 6.3 million kilowatts), waozhadu hydropower station (installed capacity of 5.85 million kilowatts), Jinping secondary hydropower station (installed capacity of 4.8 million kilowatts), xiaowan hydropower station (installed capacity of 4.2 million kilowatts), are you proud of our great motherland?
