CHINA has completed the installation of the world's largest hydropower generating unit and launched a trial, China Three Gorges Corp announced yesterday.
Workers are testing the generator with a capacity of 800,000 kilowatts at the Xiangjiaba hydropower station, which is located in the lower reaches of the Jinsha River, a major headstream of the Yangtze, a spokesman for the company said.
The trial on the unit, coded No. 8, is set to finish by the end of this month, the spokesman added.
The construction of the Xiangjiaba dam, undertaken by China Three Gorges, started in late 2006. The first batch of its units are expected to be put into use as early as October, he said.
The dam, designed with eight 800,000KW generators, will have a total generating capacity next only to the Three Gorges Dam and the Xiluodu hydropower station in the country.
Previous reports said China is working on hydropower units with a record-breaking capacity of more than 1 million KW, expected to be put into service by 2020.
