Daily power generation is close to 400 million kWh, providing clean energy power guarantee
The Three Gorges Power Station's first full-scale operation this year
A few days ago, a total of 82 units of Three Gorges, Gezhouba, Xiluodu, and Xiangjiaba Hydropower Stations of the Three Gorges Group's four cascade power stations on the Yangtze River have achieved full operation for the first time in 2020, with a total output of 39.53 million kilowatts. High-quality social development provides clean energy power guarantee.
On June 21, the 34 units of the Three Gorges Power Station took the lead in realizing all grid-connected power generation, with a daily power generation capacity of nearly 400 million kWh. The relevant person in charge of the Three Gorges Group said that the Three Gorges Group Yangtze Power has overcome the impact of the epidemic and completed the annual maintenance of the unit and a number of important equipment renovations in time to make sufficient for the safe flood control and flood control of the power station equipment and the "long period, full load, uninterrupted" operation. Prepare to provide a strong and reliable "electric engine" for economic recovery.
Statistics show that China's economic order has recently returned to the right track, and some industrial physical indicators have rebounded significantly. From the perspective of power generation, the electricity consumption of the whole society in May increased by 4.6% year-on-year, and the growth rate increased by 3.9 percentage points from the previous month. The growth rate of industrial electricity consumption has accelerated from the previous month, and the electricity consumption of the service industry has increased from a decline.
Bao Zhengfeng, assistant director of the Yangtze River Power Escalation Center and director of the Water Resources Department, said that the power grid can absorb the power generated by the four cascade power stations, indicating that the pace of resuming production and resuming production has accelerated, driving the increase in demand for electricity, reflecting the signs of economic recovery.
It is understood that the power supply scope of the Three Gorges Power Station covers 10 provinces and cities, including Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Henan, Guangdong, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, and Chongqing, and the annual power generation reached 96.88 billion kWh last year.
According to the relevant person in charge of the Three Gorges Group, the 34 units of the Three Gorges Power Station will be fully connected to the grid for the first time this year, which is slightly ahead of previous years. The main reason is to comprehensively consider the upstream water supply and flood control. In the face of the severe flood control situation this summer, the Three Gorges Group Yangtze Power strictly implements the dispatching instructions of the National Flood Control and the Yangtze River Flood Control, and actively carries out joint dispatch of cascaded reservoirs with the Three Gorges Reservoir as the core, making full use of the flood storage capacity to block floods and cut peaks. To ensure the safety of flood control in the Yangtze River Basin and the safety of people’s lives and property.
The Three Gorges Group said that it will do its utmost to do a good job in flood control and emergency management; continue to pay close attention to changes in water and rain conditions in the upstream basin, optimize the mechanism of joint consultation, information sharing, and coordination between cascaded power stations, and actively communicate and coordinate with the general defense and power grid According to the incoming water situation and electricity demand, the joint scheduling scheme of cascade reservoirs is updated in real time, the operation mode is scientifically and reasonably arranged, and each flood is scientifically dispatched, and the comprehensive benefits of the hub are maximized on the basis of ensuring the safe and stable operation of the cascade hub.
