China News Service, Chengdu, September 24 (Xi Xinyan and Zhang Lang) The reporter learned from China Energy Construction Gezhouba Electromechanical Company on the 24th that the Unit 1 of the Jinsha River Wudongde Hydropower Station built by the company operated safely and stably for 100 days. "First stable for a hundred days."

So far, the six units of the Wudongde Left Bank Power Station that have been put into operation for power generation have successfully achieved the "first hundred days of stability" goal, and the cumulative power generation has exceeded 41.42 billion kWh, providing a solid guarantee for the summer peak power consumption in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. To achieve the goal of carbon peak and carbon neutrality, and contribute to the overall green transformation of economic and social development.

  The "first hundred days of stability" refers to the safe and stable operation of newly commissioned units during the first 100 days of trial operation.

As the backbone power project of the country’s “West-to-East Power Transmission”, Wudongde Power Station has installed a total of 12 hydroelectric generating units with a unit capacity of 850,000 kilowatts, with a total installed capacity of 10.2 million kilowatts.

China Energy Construction Gezhouba Electromechanical Company is responsible for the installation and commissioning of the 6 units of the Left Bank Power Station. The 6 units that have been put into production are in good operating conditions.

  2021 is a crucial year for the construction of the Wudongde power station.

Construction projects such as power station rotor support welding, stator core stacking, and stator offline have all achieved excellent results. The 6 units have undergone more than 600 electrical tests, and all performance indicators have met the design requirements, and all parameters have reached national excellence. Standards, setting a record of “four casts in a year” for one million units, once again setting an industry benchmark.

The six units that have been put into production have all achieved the goals of "zero non-stop" and "first hundred days of stability", marking that the quality of installation, commissioning and operation of China's large-scale hydroelectric generating units has reached the world's first-class level.

  All units of Wudongde Power Station were put into production on June 16 this year.

Since September, the inflow of water from the upper reaches of the Jinsha River has continued to increase. The inflow of Wudongde Power Station has gradually increased from 8,000 cubic meters per second to 12,000 cubic meters per second. As the water head increases, as of August 30, Wudongde Power Station The 12 units are all connected to the grid with a full-load output of 850,000 kilowatts, with a total output of 10.2 million kilowatts, achieving full power for the first time since it was put into operation, with a daily power generation of 244.8 million kWh, and the comprehensive benefits of the big country's heavy equipment are further demonstrated.
