en.Wedoany.com Reported - The first unit of the Jinchuan Hydropower Station completed a 72-hour on-load trial operation on May 18. During the trial operation, on-site operation and maintenance, technical support, and safety supervision personnel implemented 24-hour shift duty, monitoring real-time operational parameters such as unit swing, vibration, and temperature throughout the process, accurately recording core data and promptly handling various emergencies. Throughout the continuous 72-hour trial operation, the unit operated smoothly overall, with all indicators meeting expectations.Jinchuan Hydropower Station unit trial operation

The Jinchuan Hydropower Station is the sixth cascade station planned on the main stream of the Dadu River, with a total installed capacity of 860,000 kilowatts, equipped with four Francis turbine generator units, each with a single-unit capacity of 215,000 kilowatts. The first unit was connected to the grid for power generation on May 12. Once all units are put into operation, the station's annual power generation will reach 3.5 billion kilowatt-hours, and it is expected to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 2.6 million tons annually.

Li Fangping, the on-site commander-in-chief of the CHN Energy Jinchuan Hydropower Project, previously stated that the project team is making every effort to achieve the goal of putting the remaining three units into operation for power generation within the first half of the year. The project party indicated that the next step will continue to strictly control quality and safety, committed to building a high-quality exemplary project, and fully advance the goal of having all units put into operation for power generation within this year.

The full completion of the Jinchuan Hydropower Station will play a positive role in optimizing the power source structure of the regional power system and promoting coordinated economic, social, and environmental development. Other hydropower stations in the same river basin, such as Zhentouba II, Shaping I, and Chuosijia, have also achieved centralized grid-connected power generation, marking a peak in the hydropower development and construction of the Dadu River Basin at the start of the "15th Five-Year Plan" period.
