Is China preparing to build the most powerful impulse turbine?

China is preparing to install one of the most powerful impulse turbines ever built at the Datang Zala Hydropower Station in the Tibet Autonomous Region. The turbine, made entirely with Chinese technology, boasts a record-breaking single-unit capacity of 500 megawatts. The turbine weighs 88 tons and has been in development for four years.

What is an impulse water turbine?

This high head allows water to strike the turbine with significant force, making impulse turbines an ideal choice for the site. “An impulse water turbine is a hydraulic machine that guides water flow through a pressure pipeline to strike a bucket-type wheel for energy conversion,” the newspaper explained.

Will a 500 megawatt power plant increase efficiency?

Tao Xingming, Chief Technology Officer at Harbin Electric Machinery Company, said the technological upgrade would help increase efficiency significantly. “For a 500-megawatt unit operating 24 hours a day, a 1.6 per cent increase in efficiency would mean generating an additional 190,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity each day,” Tao said.
