Bihai Power Plant

The Bihai Power Plant (traditional Chinese: 碧海發電廠; simplified Chinese: 碧海发电厂; pinyin: Bìhǎi Fādiànchǎng) is a hydroelectric power plant in Xiulin Township, Hualien County, Taiwan. History The geological survey and exploratory drilling for the project were started in 1996 and construction was started in 2001. After 15 years of preparatory and construction work, the power plant went into commercial operation on 10 December 2011. Dam and reservoir The power plant was established from the construction of concrete gravity dam at an altitude of 545 meters along the Hoping River basin in Hualien County. The dam at (24°19′59.91″N 121°36′25.48″E) created a reservoir with a capacity of 635,000 m3. An intake valve was built connecting the dam with a 6,549 meter long headrace tunnel to Bihai Power Plant located at the downstream side at an altitude of 100 meters where a vertical Pelton turbine of 61.2 MW is installed. Generation The power plant is expected to generate 237 GWh every year to residents of Hualien County to relieve the previous burden for Taipower to import electricity from Mingtan Pumped Storage Hydro Power Plant in Nantou County and Maanshan Nuclear Power Plant in Pingtung County which was very costly. The 18 hours of daily water capture and storage will generate enough electricity to supply the six hours of peak load in the region. Safety The power plant will open the floodgate to release excessive water during high river intensity to prevent the buildup of sediment. Financing The project costed NT$ 16.5 billion.

The Taiwan Agricultural Research institute is a research institute in Taiwan under the auspices of the Ministry of Agriculture. History The Taiwan Agricultural Research institute (TARI) was founded in 1895 by the Government-General of Taiwan during Japanese rule. Research Watermelon TARI began to study watermelon in the 1950s and has developed numerous varieties. Pineapple TARI has engaged in significant pineapple breeding since the Japanese colonial period with the Tainung No. 1 being introduced in 1934. The variety Tainung No. 23 (bred from Tainung No. 19 and Tainung No. 21) smells like mangos and is well adapted to Taiwan's environment. Green onion In 2019 TARI released a heat tolerant green onion variety intended to allow farmers in the south of Taiwan to produce green onions in the summer. Sweet potato Research into the sweet potato at the Chiayi research station began in 1922. In 1991 the World Vegetable Center (WVC) chose to end its sweet potato research due to high costs and other institutions with a tighter focus coming into existence. The WVC duplicated and transferred its research and germplasm to the International Potato Center and Taiwan Agricultural Research institute.

Shihmen kraftverk

Shihmen kraftverk är ett vattenkraftverk i norra delen av Taiwan. Det tar sitt vatten från en av Taiwans största sjöar, den 8 km² stora Shihmenreservoaren, som har bildats genom en uppdämning av Dahanfloden. Sjön används också för bevattning och som drickvattentäckt för Tapei med omgivningar. Den är också ett populärt utflyktsmål. Stora mängder sediment samlas upp i reservoaren och år 2017 kunde bara två tredjedelar av den ursprungliga volymen på omkring 300 miljoner kubikmeter användas. Arbete pågår med att ta bort en del av sedimentet och på så sätt förlänga dammens livstid. Källor
ГЕС Shihmen

ГЕС Shihmen – гідроелектростанція на півночі острова Тайвань. Використовує ресурс із річки Dahan, лівого витоку Xindian, яка дренує західний схил вододільного хребта острова та впадає до Тайванської протоки у місті Тайбей. В межах проекту річку перекрили кам’яно-накидною греблею висотою 133 метра та довжиною 360 метрів, яка утворила витягнуте по долині річки на 14 км водосховище з об’ємом 309 млн м3. При площі поверхні 8 км2 та припустимому коливанні рівня між позначками 195 та 245 метрів НРМ корисний об’єм сховища складав 252 млн м3, втім, внаслідок накопичення осадів він суттєво зменшився – станом на середину 2010-х до 199 млн м3 (при цьому загальний об’єм становить 204,7 млн м3). Як і інші тайванські сховища, резервуар греблі Shihmen особливо стрімко заповнюється осадами внаслідок тайфунів. Так, у 1963-му тайфун Глорія відклав у тільки-но створеному сховищі 19,5 млн м3, а за два серпневі дні 2004 року інший шторм Aere зменшив ємність резервуару на 27,9 млн м3. Для боротьби з замуленням один з двох водоводів, через які за первісним проектом живилась гідроелектростанція, перепрофіліювали для промивання резервуару від наносів. Пригреблевий машинний зал обладнаний двома турбінами типу Френсіс потужністю по 45 МВт, які при напорі у 84 метри забезпечують виробництво 200 млн кВт-год електроенергії на рік. Можливо відзначити, що виробітка електроенергії є лише однією з функцій гідрокомплексу, котрий також забезпечує іригацію (споживає 470 млн м3 на рік) та водопостачання (397 млн м3 на рік). Примітки
