As we all know, the world's largest water conservancy project is China's Three Gorges Dam, which is one of the most outstanding works in the field of infrastructure construction on the mainland, and in addition, the mainland has also created many "miracles", such as the Baihetan Hydropower Station is one of them, it is the world's second largest hydropower station, second only to the Three Gorges Dam in efficacy, not only has the title of "money printing machine on the cliff", but also known as the heart of China's electricity.
Relevant information shows that the static investment of Baihetan Hydropower Station is about 143 billion yuan, and the dynamic investment is about 177.8 billion yuan, compared with the Three Gorges Dam, the project investment is only 62.4 billion yuan less, and the total installed capacity of this power station has reached 16 million kilowatts, only 6.5 million kilowatts less than the Three Gorges Dam, if calculated according to the production capacity of the Three Gorges, then theoretically the Baihetan Hydropower Station can produce benefits of 310 million yuan a day, 9 billion yuan a month, call it " Money printing machine on the cliff" is not an exaggeration at all.
It is understood that the rated power of a single unit of Baihetan Hydropower Station is to produce 1 million kilowatt-hours of electricity per hour, with a total of 16 generating units, if all of them are put into operation, then its power generation will be second only to the Three Gorges Project, becoming the world's most powerful power station in addition to the Three Gorges Dam, and according to the plan, in July 2022, all 16 power stations will be put into operation for power generation.
Baihetan Hydropower Station is located in Ningnan County, Liangshan Prefecture, Sichuan Province and Qiaojia County, Shaotong City, Yunnan Province, and is the second cascade power station developed in the main stream section of the lower reaches of the Jinsha River. According to statistics, the total amount of hydropower that can be developed in the Yangtze River system in southwest China can meet the installed capacity of eight Three Gorges hydropower stations, and the Baihetan project is a successful project, and the area of the river basin that can be controlled by the dam can reach 430,000 square kilometers, which can be described as a big scary.
The geological environment of the Baihetan dam site area is very harsh, not only there is the problem of asymmetry of the canyon topography, but also the construction difficulty here is extremely high, and it is also the world's first dam built by using columnar node basalt as the basic rock mass, even though the mainland infrastructure technology has been very advanced and mature, but it still faces a lot of challenges in the construction of this project. It is also the world's first dam built using columnar nodal basalt as the base rock mass, and even though the mainland infrastructure technology is very advanced and mature, it still faces a lot of challenges in the construction of this project.
It is worth mentioning that even in such a harsh environment, Baihetan Hydropower Station has still created a number of world firsts, such as a single capacity of 1 million kilowatts, ranking first in the world, and the seismic parameters of the 300-meter high arch dam ranking first in the world, etc., and this brilliant data one after another undoubtedly proves the continuous enhancement and progress of the mainland's infrastructure strength.
At present, the Baihetan Hydropower Station is in full swing of construction, all kinds of large-scale equipment is roaring, the scene can be extremely lively, and there is only less than 1 year left from July 2022, which means that this "money printing machine on the cliff" is about to be completed.
Do you have anything to say about the construction of this project?
