At 11:00 a.m. October 16, the impounded water level of Baihetan Reservoir reached 824.08 meters, marking the successful completion of the impoundment task by Baihetan Reservoir for 2024. The total water storage capacity?reached 3.139 billion cubic meters, which provides?a?solid?guarantee?for water supply, ecological protection and power supply during?this winter and next spring.
This impoundment of Baihetan Reservoir officially started on August 1 and lasted for 77 days. During the impoundment period, under the guidance and support of superior dispatching authorities, such as the Changjiang Water Resources Commission, National Electric Power Dispatch Center and Power Dispatch Control Center of China Southern Power Grid, CYPC of the CTG strictly followed the relevant requirements of the Changjiang Water Resources Commission on the optimal integrated operation of cascade reservoirs in the lower reaches of the Jinsha River, strengthening?the forecasting and prediction of water and rainfall regime in the basin, enhancing?internal and external forecasting and dispatch consultations, prepared the joint impoundment plan for cascade reservoirs on a roll basis, optimizing?the operation mode and impoundment process, and maintaining?a balance between impoundment, flood control,?and power supply. While ensuring power supply during hot autumn, the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day, CYPC has steadily carried out the?reservoir impoundment?and fully played the role of the Pillars of a Great Power.
The monitoring results show?that during the impoundment period, the Baihetan Dam, power station,?and ancillary equipment and facilities were in good operating conditions, and the sediment, water quality,?and geological conditions in the reservoir area were normal without any abnormal phenomena. Next, CYPC will work hard to ensure work safety with a sense of responsibility that is never at ease, make every effort to operate and manage the Pillars of a Great Power, give full play to the comprehensive benefits of the six cascade power stations on the main stream of the Yangtze River, and demonstrate the responsibility undertaken by a central state-owned enterprise in the upcoming dual tests of replenishing water during the dry season and ensuring power supply during the winter peak season.
