In the upper reaches of the Yangtze River in southwest China, the B-A-I H-E T-A N hydropower station, which has the second-largest total installed capacity in the world, went live on Tuesday.
In terms of scale, technological difficulty, and complex geographic conditions, it is a significant construction achievement. Throughout its construction, environmental protection received a lot of attention.
The completion of its operation marked the completion of the world's largest clean energy corridor, which consists of six mega hydropower stations on the Yangtze to transmit electricity from resource-rich west to energy-consuming east.
According to China Three Gorges Corporation, the B-A-I H-E T-A N hydropower station, the world's second-largest in terms of total installed capacity, became fully operational on Tuesday in the upper Yangtze River section in southwest China.
The completion of the world's largest clean energy corridor was marked by its operation. On the Yangtze River, six mega hydropower stations transmit electricity from the resource-rich west to the energy-consuming east.
On Tuesday morning, the final of B-A-I H-E T-A N16 hydro-generating units successfully completed a 72-hour trial operation. B-A-I H-E T-A N is second only to the Three Gorges Dam project in the central Chinese province of Hubei in terms of installed capacity, which is 16 million kilowatts.
Lei M-I N G S H-A N, chairman of China Three Gorges Corporation, stated, "B-A-I H-E T-A N represents a major breakthrough in China's high-end equipment manufacturing because it is equipped with 16 home-grown hydro-generating units, each with a capacity of 1 million kilowatts, the largest single-unit capacity in the world".
Lei went on to say that the complete operation of B-A-I H-E T-A N is crucial to China's shift in its energy structure, the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, and the coordinated growth of the country's regional economy.
It is anticipated that the corporation's six hydropower stations on the Yangtze River will each produce 300 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity annually, reducing coal consumption by 90 million t and carbon emissions by 248 million.
Three Gorges Dam and G-E Z H O U B-A are in the middle of the Yangtze River, while Wudongde, B-A-I H-E T-A N, X-I L U O D U, and X-I-A N G J-I B-A are on the J-I N S H-A River, which is the upper portion of the Yangtze River
On the whole, they represent around one fifth of China's all-out hydropower-introduced limit, framing a 1,800-km-long clean energy passage that likewise assumes a significant role in flood control, transportation, water asset use, and environmental security in the Yangtze Stream Bowl.
Lei stated, "Our great efforts toward Chinese modernization are also exemplified by the completion of the world's largest clean energy corridor, the full operation of B-A-I H-E T-A N, and a new chapter in the harmonious coexistence of man and nature". B-A-I H-E T-A N is a significant construction feat in terms of scale, technological difficulty, and complex geographic conditions, according to experts and engineers alike.
Rich stated, "Represents technological advances across the entire lifecycle of hydropower, from design and planning to material science and equipment manufacturing to construction technologies and intelligent management" with regard to the project's successful completion.
According to China Three Gorges Corporation, in order to construct an ecological barrier in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, initiatives such as ecological restoration of the H-E-I S H U-I River habitat, stratified intake facilities, and botanical gardens were carried out
