The Three Gorges Project: A Vivid Interpretation of China's Modernization Process-中国新网视频

　　[100th Anniversary of the Communist Party of China] Three Gorges Project: A vivid interpretation of China's modernization process

　　[Explanation] The Three Gorges Project is the best epitome and vivid interpretation of China's modernization process. Its huge comprehensive benefits inject strong impetus into China's modernization drive and play an important role in the economic and social development of the Yangtze River Basin and the whole country.

Recently, the reporter conducted an exclusive interview with the relevant person in charge of the Three Gorges Group Basin Hub Operation Management Center.

　　[Explanation] As a backbone project in the flood control system of the Yangtze River Basin, the Three Gorges Reservoir has a flood control capacity of 22.15 billion cubic meters. Through flood control, the flood control standard of the Jingjiang River section can be raised to a once-in-100-year flood. In the event of a once-in-1000 flood, With the coordinated use of flood diversion and storage areas, the safety of flood discharge in the Jingjiang River section will be ensured, and devastating disasters will be avoided due to the collapse of the main dikes on both sides of the north and south banks.

　　In the event of a flood that has occurred more than once in a hundred years, with the cooperation of the flood storage area, the (Three Gorges Project) can avoid devastating disasters in the Jingjiang River section, and at the same time, it can also affect the flood disasters in the Chenglingji area and the downstream Wuhan area. To the mitigation effect.

　　[Explanation] In 2010, 2012, and 2020, the maximum flood peak of the Three Gorges Reservoir exceeded 70,000 cubic meters per second. After the storage of the reservoir, the flood peak was reduced by about 40%, which greatly reduced the pressure on flood control in downstream areas and greatly reduced flood control. Risk and cost.

The Jianghan Plain and the Dongting Lake Plain have since become a confidant, becoming veritable "rice silos".

　　In the process of flood control of the river basin in 2020, it (the Three Gorges Project) has successfully withstood five numbered floods. As of the end of 2020, the Three Gorges Project has been used for more than 60 flood arrests, and the total amount of flood arrest is about 186 billion cubic meters.

　　[Explanation] The dam of the Three Gorges Hydropower Station has an elevation of 185 meters and a water storage elevation of 175 meters. 32 hydroelectric generating units with a single unit capacity of 700,000 kilowatts are installed.

The last hydropower unit of the Three Gorges Power Station was put into operation on July 4, 2012. It has become the world's largest hydropower station and clean energy production base, and has played an important role in optimizing energy structure and promoting energy conservation and emission reduction.

　　As of the end of 2020, the cumulative power generation of the Three Gorges Power Station has reached 140 billion kWh. It has injected a steady stream of clean energy into the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt and has become a veritable "green engine" for low-carbon China.

　　[Explanation] The Three Gorges Project has completely ended the history of "Since ancient times the Sichuan River has never sailed at night", and has promoted the development of the local economy in all directions. The 10,000-ton fleet can reach Chongqing directly in about half a year. The second increased to about 5700 cubic meters per second, and the Yangtze River became a veritable "golden waterway".

　　The completion of the Three Gorges ship lock has effectively improved the navigation conditions of the reservoir area and downstream of the channel. In 2020, the annual cargo passing through the Three Gorges ship lock reached 137 million tons. By the end of 2020, the accumulated cargo passing through the Three Gorges ship lock reached 1.538 billion tons.

　　[Explanation] The Three Gorges Project is the world's largest and most versatile water conservancy and hydropower project. The difficulty of construction is rare in the history of engineering in the world.

In addition to the three main functions of flood control, power generation, and shipping, the "Optimum Dispatch Plan for the Three Gorges Reservoir" approved by the State Council in 2009 made it clear that water resource utilization is also one of the tasks of the Three Gorges Reservoir's dispatching.

　　As of the end of 2020, the Three Gorges Project has provided a total of 289 billion cubic meters of downstream water supply.

In addition to normal replenishment of water downstream, the Three Gorges Project has also implemented other water resources utilization tasks such as salt-pressing tide dispatch, emergency drought-relief replenishment dispatch, ship rescue dispatch, and ecological dispatch.

　　[Explanation] The reporter learned that in more than 20 years, the Three Gorges Project has made a series of major achievements, created more than 100 "world's best", established more than 100 engineering quality and technical standards, and enabled China's water conservancy and hydropower technology to go forward. In the forefront of the world.

At present, the scientific and technological innovation achievements of the Three Gorges Project have been widely used in related infrastructure construction fields, and the four giant hydropower stations in the lower reaches of the Jinsha River, Xiangjiaba, Xiluodu, Baihetan, and Wudongde, form the world's largest "clean energy corridor".

　　As an operation manager and a member of the Communist Party, I hope that through my own efforts, I can contribute to the operation and management of the Three Gorges Project, which is the most important weapon of the country, so that the Three Gorges Project can achieve greater comprehensive benefits.
