Power Stations
A power station, also referred to as a power plant and sometimes generating station or generating plant, is an industrial facility for the generation of electric power. Power stations are generally connected to an electrical grid. Many power stations contain one or more generators, a rotating machine that converts mechanical power into three-phase electric power. The relative motion between a magnetic field and a conductor creates an electric current. The energy source harnessed to turn the generator varies widely. Most power stations in the world burn fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas to generate electricity. Low-carbon power sources include nuclear power, and an increasing use of renewables such as solar, wind, geothermal, and hydroelectric. History In early 1871 Belgian inventor Zénobe Gramme invented a generator powerful enough to produce power on a commercial scale for industry. In 1878, a hydroelectric power station was designed and built by Will ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Geheyan Hydropower Station
The Geheyan Dam () is an arch-gravity dam on the Qingjiang River, a tributary of the Yangtze River, in Hubei, China. The dam is located in Changyang Tujia Autonomous County (which is part of the prefecture-level city of Yichang), just a few kilometers to the west (upstream) from the county seat, Longzhouping Town (). The dam was designed in 1987, and is equipped with a ship lift capable of lifting vessels of displacement. The dam played an important role in helping to ameliorate the impact of the 1998 Yangtze Floods. Power is generated by four units rated at each, totalling the installed capacity at . 1998 Qing River Highest Water Level.JPG, 1998 Yangtze River floods Qing River Geheyan Dam Highest Water Level,203.94 m, Geheyan Dam crest elevation is 206 m.

Footnotes
A note is a string of text placed at the bottom of a page in a book or document or at the end of a chapter, volume, or the whole text. The note can provide an author's comments on the main text or citations of a reference work in support of the text. Footnotes are notes at the foot of the page while endnotes are collected under a separate heading at the end of a chapter, volume, or entire work. Unlike footnotes, endnotes have the advantage of not affecting the layout of the main text, but may cause inconvenience to readers who have to move back and forth between the main text and the endnotes. In some editions of the Bible, notes are placed in a narrow column in the middle of each page between two columns of biblical text. Numbering and symbols In English, a footnote or endnote is normally flagged by a superscripted number immediately following that portion of the text the note references, each such footnote being numbered sequentially. Occasionally, a number between brack ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Bailianhe Pumped Storage Power Station
The Bailianhe Pumped Storage Power Station () is a pumped-storage hydroelectric power station located east of Huanggang in Hubei Province, China. It was constructed between 2004 and 2010 and has a installed capacity. The power station operates by shifting water between an upper and lower reservoir to generate electricity. For this project, only the upper reservoir had to be created as an existing reservoir, the Bailianhe Reservoir, was used as the lower. During periods of low energy demand, such as at night, water is pumped from Bailianhe Reservoir up to the upper reservoir. When energy demand is high, the water is released back down to the lower reservoir but the pump turbines that pumped the water up now reverse mode and serve as generators to produce electricity. The process is repeated as necessary and the plant serves as a peaking power plant. The Bailianhe Upper Reservoir was created with the construction of a tall concrete-face rock-fill dam. It has a crest length of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Huanglongtan Hydropower Station
The Huanglongtan Dam is a concrete gravity dam located on the Du River, a tributary of the Han River. It is located west of Shiyan in Hubei Province, China. The main purpose of the dam is hydroelectric power generation but it also provides for flood control. It was constructed between 1969 and 1976 and support a 510 MW power station. Background The Huanglongtan Dam and two other projects on the river ( Songshuling and Pankou Dams) were surveyed in 1954 and final designs were prepared in 1964. Construction on Huanglongtan, the first of the projects to be implemented, began in April 1969. The original 85 MW generators were commissioned in 1974 and the dam was complete in 1976. The entire project was accepted by the state in 1978. In 1980, the dam experienced a 50-year flood with river flow peaking at . The flood inundated the power station as the dam was not prepared for the inflow. This was due to mis-communication within the basin and a lack of a proper hydrological forecast sy ...

Pankou Hydropower Station
The Pankou Dam is a concrete-face rock-fill dam on the Du River about southwest of Shiyan in Zhushan County of Hubei Province, China. The purpose of the dam is hydroelectric power production and flood control. It supports a 513 MW power station located at its base. At a normal reservoir elevation of , the reservoir withholds of water. However, it can hold up to in the event of a flood. Construction on the dam began in May 2008 and its generators were commissioned in 2012.

Han River (Yangtze River Tributary)
The Han River, also known by its Chinese names Hanshui and Han Jiang, is a left tributary of the Yangtze in central China. It has a length of and is the longest tributary of the Yangtze system. The river gave its name to the Han dynasty and, through it, to the Han Chinese, the dominant ethnicity in China and the most populous ethnic group in the world. It is also the namesake of the city of Hanzhong on its upper course. Geography The headwaters of the Han flow from Mount Bozhong in southwestern Shaanxi. The stream then travels east across the southern part of that province. Its highland valley—known as the Qinba Laolin—divides and is protected by the Qinling or Qin Mountains to its north and the Dabashan or Daba Mountains to its south. The main cities are Hanzhong in the west and Ankang in the east. It then enters Hubei. It crosses most of Hubei from the northwest to the southeast, flowing into the Yangtze at the provincial capital Wuhan, a city of several million inhabi ...

Danjiangkou Hydropower Station
The Danjiangkou Dam () is a concrete gravity dam on the Han river near Danjiangkou in Hubei Province, China. The original dam was constructed between 1958 and 1973. The dam creates a large Danjiangkou Reservoir. In the 21st century, the Danjiangkou Dam became part of the South-North Water Transfer Project. In 2005-2009, its height was raised in order to increase the reservoir's capacity. Heightening Originally, the dam was tall and long. Since its heightening, the dam is now tall and long. The original crest elevation was and is now . The increase in height will add to the reservoir's capacity bring it to . Currently, the reservoir has a capacity of .

Qing River
The Qing River () is a right (southern) tributary of the Yangtze River (Chang Jiang) in Hubei province of south-central China., Geography Course The Qing River Headwaters originate at Tenglong Cave (Teng Long Dong) near Lichuan City, in Hubei's southwestern corner. The river is long. Its drainage area is 17,000 km², occupying large portions of the Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture and Yichang Prefecture-level city. The Qing River (Qing Jiang) confluence with the Yangtze River (Chang Jiang) is at the ancient city of Yidu in the Yichang Prefecture of Hubei. Dams The Qing River has three large dams on it: the Geheyan Dam, Gaobazhou Dam, and Shuibuya Dam. The Geheyan Dam has a ship lift that can lift vessels of up to 300 tons displacement, to allow water transport upriver from the dam. During the 1998 Yangtze River floods the dam effectively held back the Qing River (Qing Jiang) flow. There is also the Dongping Dam The Dongping Dam is an arch dam on ...
