China's hydropower generation is a history of industrial transcendence! This is from power generation equipment, engineering or power generation, without exception.
The first is the fast charging growth of power generation. In 2001, China's hydropower generation capacity was 277.4 billion kWh, ranking second in the world, about 20% less than Canada, and about the same as Brazil. The global share is 10.8%.
Ten years later, in 2011, China's hydropower annual power generation has reached 688 billion kWh, more than double that of a decade ago, and has far ahead of second-place Brazil's 428.3 billion degrees, ranking first, probably more than 50% ahead of Brazil. The global share also rose to 19.7%.
Another decade has passed, and in 2021, China's hydropower annual power generation has reached 1.3 trillion kWh points, which is close to double compared with a decade ago; it is far ahead of the second place Canada's 380 billion degrees, more than three times theirs. Brazil's data is wrong, they are 4160 degrees in 2021, because of changes in water and other changes, compared with a decade ago, hydroelectric power generation capacity has declined. China's share of the world is 30.4%.
If you track the proportion of China's manufacturing industry, this data is similar to the proportion of China's manufacturing industry in the world, which can be said to be very synchronized.
This is followed by outstanding achievements in engineering capabilities, with China accounting for half of the world's top ten hydropower stations. The first place is the Three Gorges Hydropower Station of the Yangtze River in China, with an installed capacity of 22.5 million kilowatts. The second place is the Baihetan Hydropower Station on the Jinsha River in China, with an installed capacity of 16 million kilowatts. In third place was the Itaipu hydroelectric power station on the Paraná River in Brazil and Paraguay, with an installed capacity of 14 million kilowatts. The fourth place is China's Jinsha Jiangxi Luodu Hydropower Station, with an installed capacity of 13.86 million kilowatts. Fifth place is the Belo monte hydroelectric power station on the Amazon River in Brazil, with an installed capacity of 11.23 million kilowatts. Sixth place is the Inguli Hydropower Station on the Caroni River in Venezuela, with an installed capacity of 10.24 million kilowatts; Venezuela was a developed country at that time, and it was also a decline to mix it up like this. Seventh place is China's Jinsha River Wudongde Hydropower Station, with an installed capacity of 10.2 million kilowatts. In eighth place is the Tucurugi hydroelectric power station on the Tocantins River in Brazil, with an installed capacity of 8.37 million kilowatts. In ninth place, the Xiangjiaba Hydropower Station on the Jinsha River in China, with an installed capacity of 7.75 million kilowatts. The tenth place is the Columbia River Grand Coulee Hydropower Station in the United States, with an installed capacity of 6.81 million kilowatts.
China's hydropower capacity will be 391 million kilowatts (of which 36 million kilowatts will be pumped storage by the end of 2021). And China also has the Brahmaputra Grand Canyon Grand Bend Hydropower Station 70 million kilowatts of Jumbo hydropower station waiting to start construction, once this is completed, plus some Yangtze River Basin ladder power stations, China's hydropower accounted for nearly 40% of the global share. If China's 680 million kilowatts of pumped storage hydropower plant planning is completed, it is estimated that 60% of the world's total, then in terms of hydropower, they will have to kneel down and call Grandpa.
Finally, there is the power equipment. China imports half of the Three Gorges Project and half of its domestically produced 700,000-kilowatt turbines and generators; By the time of the Baihetan Hydropower Station, China had developed the world's largest and most advanced 1 million kilowatts of turbines and generators, unique to the world and without a semicolon. In addition to the world's leading turbines and generators, China's ultra-high voltage transmission technology is also unique in the world, and the Baihetan and Xiluodu hydropower stations rely on ultra-high voltage transmission to the eastern region; The western provinces have made a lot of hydropower money, while the eastern regions have used green electricity and now do not need to account for energy consumption indicators, which is a win-win situation.
In general, in the field of electric power, China's hydropower, wind power, photovoltaic technology and installed capacity are the first in the world, and nuclear power technology is also at the forefront of the world, which is the biggest confidence of China's industrial stability.
