under theCentral Government and Autunomous Regions such as Quinghai,Tibet, Sichuan, Yunnan, Hubei,
Hunan, Jiangxi, Anhui, Jiangsu and Shanghai. With a total length of 6300 km, a drainage area of 1,8 x 106 km
and a yearly volume of 976 x 109 m pouring into the Pacific Ocean. It is the largest River of China and ranks third
of the World. The drainage area is one of Chinas most developed and prosperous areas, the land there is fertile
and abundant in natural resources. The harnessing and exploitation of the Yangtze has a great impact on the
development of the Chinese economy and its society.
The Qutang Gorge rises from Baidi City, ends in Daxi Town from the west to the east
and meanders over 8 km. The steep and towering hills in the Gorge embodied the
magnificence of controlling thousends of ravines in the west, overwhelming
rolling hills while adjoining Hubei and Hunan provinces in the east.
The Wu Gorge rises from the estuary of Daning River in Wushan County, Chongqing,
ends in Guandukou, Badong County, Hubei Province and meanders over 45 km. The
Wu Gorge features beautiful hill peaks and cliffs range upon range and is known for its
deepness, serenity and beauty.
The Xiling Gorge rises from Xiangxikou, Zigui County, Hubei Province, ends in Nanjinguan,
Yichang City and meanders over 76 km. There were serried reefs, surging swirls and the Gorge
was known for rapids and dangerous shoals.
Probably the biggest site project for the world largest Power Station.

The right bank coffer dam (upstream) is 580 m long, top elevation 140 m, providing the
necessary condition for the timely initial reservoir impoundment, power generation of
first commissioned units and navigation through the double-lane shiplock.
Upside dam: the flooded areas have a length of 660 km and reach a surface of 1100 km,
total water volume of 39.3 milliard m. The waterflow of the river is 16`000 m / s (average).

TYPE TEST
After completion of the first four Alstom Units with GMEC, a Performance Test were made on
Unit No 10, to guarantee the efficiency of the Turbine -Generator acoording to the contract.
For the Type Test of the Unit with this size, a tremendous expenditure were necessary for the
exact location of all losses, especially with all auxiliary systems.
