On January 31st, the largest scale hydroelectric power plant under construction in the world, the Baihetian Dam Right Bank, completed a construction and engineering milestone. The rotor for Unit 16 of the Baihetian Dam Right Bank, researched and constructed by Harbin Electrical Corporation Electric Motor Company, was successfully lowered into place.

As the heaviest essential component for power generation units, Baihetian’s generator rotors play an important role in providing rotating magnetic fields, energy conversion, and torque transmission. They determine the stability of the hydroelectric generator as a whole, and influence the operational performance, operational efficiency, safety, and stability of the entire megawatt unit. As such, these rotors have extremely high technical requirements.

Baihetian Dam is currently the largest scale hydroelectric power plant under construction in the world. Harbin Electrical Corporation Electric Motor Company will research and construct Units 9 through 16 of the Right Bank’s hydroelectric power plant.
