Five experts discuss hydropower development at the “China Hydropower Conference”

Zhou Dabing

Since the beginning of the 21st century, the world’s energy science and technology have undergone fundamental changes. The development of renewable energy has become an important strategy for ensuring energy development and responding to climate change in various countries. “The total amount of hydropower resources in China ranks first in the world, but the total development volume only accounts for about 35% of the total technological development, which is far lower than the level of 60% to 70% of developed countries. In particular, China’s hydropower resources are very rich in the southwest There is also great room for development in the regions.” Zhou Dabing, chairman of the China Hydroelectric Engineering Association, spoke at the “China Hydropower Conference”.

In Zhou Dabing’s view, along with the socialist construction in New China, especially after the reform and opening up, China’s hydropower has evolved from a small hydropower country with a low level of development and utilization, little installed capacity, and low level of technology and equipment manufacturing to the world’s hydropower today. The Three Gorges Project, which attracts worldwide attention for the great powers, is the world's most hydropower created by China's hydropower in the past 100 years. It is not only a giant power station, but also a magnificent technical engineering and smart project. It is also an important symbol of China's great achievements in hydropower construction.

Zhou Dabing said that at present and for some time to come, it is a critical period for China to build a well-to-do society in an all-round way and accelerate the advancement of modernization. Hydropower, as the most renewable, non-fossil energy source, the most technologically mature, and the most economical clean energy, will make even more significant contributions to low-carbon development. The development of hydropower resources is a major strategy for the country to optimize its energy structure, protect the ecological environment, improve people's livelihood, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and achieve sustainable development.

Zhang Guobao

Zhang Guobao, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission and director of the National Energy Administration, said that China's hydropower development and resettlement policy has been adjusted from the past resettlement resettlement to the developmental resettlement. Through the post-support policies, the resettlement work will be “moved out, stabilized, and gradually become rich”. "The goal.

Zhang Guobao said that achieving harmony between man and nature is a prerequisite for hydropower construction and is a scientific concept for China to promote the rational and orderly development of hydropower. It has been widely recognized by all walks of life and is more commonly understood by Chinese hydropower companies and implemented in projects. In the process, they are seriously implemented to achieve a win-win situation for development and environmental protection, and for migrants to become rich.

Over the years, hydropower development and immigration work has continued to explore and immigration measures have also been constantly adjusted and improved. The resettlement policy has been adjusted from the past resettlement resettlement to the developmental resettlement. That is to say, it is not only to compensate the resettler for funds, but more importantly, to provide support for the long-term production and life of the resett The goal of “moving out, staying stable, and getting rich gradually”.

At the same time, the developmental resettlement of immigrants is organically integrated with the construction of a new socialist countryside, especially in the new century. On the basis of a good migration, hydropower development pays more attention to implementing the later-stage support policies for the resettlement, and the development of the owner unit is fully understood. Under the premise of implementing the state's regulations on resettlement policies in hydropower development, we have innovated policies to support late-stage immigration that are rich in regional features and local characteristics, help immigrants to embark on the road to hard work, and promote the economic and social development of the power station area.

Zhi Zhiyong

“Although China is rich in hydropower resources and ranks first in the world, the current level of hydropower development is still far below the level of developed countries.” Qi Zhiyong, member of the National Energy Advisory Committee and Director of the General Institute of Hydropower Planning and Design, attended the “China Hydropower Century” The conference "was talking about.

The distribution of hydropower resources in China has several characteristics. First, the regional distribution is mainly concentrated in Sichuan, Yunnan, and Tibet, which is conducive to the construction of national-level hydropower stations. Second, because China is affected by the monsoon climate, China's dry season water volume is only 20% to 30%, for which we need to build necessary reservoirs to regulate runoff. Zhai Zhiyong believes that China’s energy structure determines that China’s energy will achieve 15% of non-fossil energy in total primary energy consumption in 2020. At the Western Development Conference recently developed by the Central Government, it was clearly stated that the construction of hydropower national energy bases will continue to increase the flow of hydropower to the west. The development of hydropower in China still has a long way to go.

Zhai Zhiyong stated that if we can truly solve the above problems, it is also possible for China to push ahead with hydropower installations exceeding RMB 300 million. According to 9%, it is estimated that China’s installed capacity is 3.5 billion yuan. With the development of science and technology in China, with the deepening of research, the installed capacity of technological development will exceed 600 million.

Qin Guangrong

At the China Hydropower Conference, Qin Guangrong, deputy secretary and governor of the Yunnan Provincial CPC Committee, said that in August 1910, the first hydropower station in China, the Shilongba Hydropower Station, began construction in Kunming, Yunnan, opening the curtain for hydropower in China. It has created a new era of energy development in China. Today, Yunnan held a grand commemorative conference on China's hydropower for 100 years. It reviewed the hundred-year history of China’s hydropower development, summed up experiences, and looked forward to the future with far-reaching significance.

Qin Guangrong pointed out that after 100 years of vicissitudes, the Shilongba hydropower station has stood still on the shores of the beautiful Dianchi Lake after years of change. It is still producing a steady stream of clean energy, which has built a monument for the history of hydropower in China and the world and created a miracle. The Xiaowan hydropower station built in 2002 is a landmark project for the transmission of electricity from the west to the east. The difficulty in construction of the project is rare. Many engineering technologies have created the world's largest and environmental protection measures are world-class.

Qin Guangrong finally stated that today, the hydropower industry in Yunnan is again standing at a new historical starting point. The Yunnan people will uphold and carry forward the spirit of constructing the Shilong dam, and build Yunnan into an important national hydropower base and clean energy base, and the West Power Group. Dongsong delivered a cloud-electric power delivery base, and persisted in making overall plans for hydropower development, migrants’ enrichment and ecological environmental protection, and made new and greater contributions to China’s hydropower development.

The 100-year Commemoration Conference of China's Hydropower was grandly held in Kunming. The former Ministry of Water Resources and the Deputy Minister of Energy, former general manager of the Three Gorges Project Development Corporation of the Yangtze River and the academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering Lu Youyi, pointed out that China’s hydropower goals are very clear. At present, 200 million kilowatts have been developed and 300 million kilowatts are yet to be developed.

Lu Youyi

Lu Youyi introduced that hydropower resources are an important part of China’s energy. According to the basically clear water energy resources that China has investigated, there are theoretically more than 600 million kilowatts, and technically exploitable are 500 million kilowatts, which can be economically exploited. It is 400 million kilowatts.

Lu Youke believes that the specificity and characteristics of China’s energy are still dominated by coal, and there will be no major changes in the near future or in the foreseeable future. However, to reduce the process of coal combustion, we must vigorously develop renewable energy. energy. The most important and mature renewable energy source is also the most energy-efficient and hydropower resource. If the hydropower resources are not fully utilized, it is contrary to objective laws. Therefore, we have set a target of more than 300 million kilowatts by 2020. According to the goal of reducing emissions, 300 million kilowatts by 2020 is not enough. By 2030, the economically exploitable 400 million kilowatts should be completed. By 2050, it will be able to fully utilize the technologically exploitable hydropower resources.
