文档介绍：Abstract: The electricity is a modern industrial production and the life of an essential driving force for energy, hydroelectric power industry is a category. The founding of the past 50 years, China's hydropower industry has developed by leaps and bounds, has made remarkable achievements. The rise of hydropower in China there is a profound background.
Key words: Hydro-electric power Status Prospects
First, China has a large-scale utilization of water resources and the need for the conditions. China's abundant hydropower resources, whether they are reserves of hydropower resources, or the possible development of hydropower resources in the countries in the world in the first rank. But China's energy utilization rate is only 13 percent, hydropower prospects are bright. As China's rapid economic growth, total energy consumption is also up sharply, coal, oil and gas these conventional energy consumption growing, or even need to rely on imports. It is estimated that by 2010 China's need to import about 100 million t of oil, and its dependence on imports will reach 40 percent or even higher. In such a situation, the development of new energy was particularly important and urgent. The water is a renewable and new energy, an inexhaustible supply of it.
Second, the development of hydropower is also the need for environmental protection. Conventional power generation, bustion emissions in the course of a large number of hazardous substances so that the atmospheric environment is seriously contaminated, and acid rain caused "greenhouse effect", and many other environmental problems. And nuclear power generation have great potential risk, once the pollution caused by leakage, damage to the environment is immeasurable role. Hydro-electric power is not emissions of harmful gases, dust and ash, and no nuclear radiation pollution, is a clean power production, has obvious advantages.
Third, hydro-electric power after more than a century of development, construction technolo
