The Burqin Shankou Dam () is a dam under construction in Burqin County of Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region of China. The Burqin Shankou Dam is constructed in the narrow gorge of the Burqin River, a right tributary of the Irtysh River, in the area where it leaves the Altai Mountains for the Irtysh plain. This is a concrete arch dam 94 m tall; the dam (measured along its curved top) will be 311.5 m long; it will be 10 m wide at the top, and 27 m wide at the bottom. The dam will create a reservoir with the volume of 0.221 cubic km; the dam's hydroelectric plant will generate 220 Megawatt of power. The construction work started in July 2009.〔(中国水电中标新疆布尔津山口水利枢纽大坝工程 ) (China Hydro bids on the dam construction project of the Burqin Shankou Hydro Complex in Xinjiang), 2009-07-31〕 In September 2014 the last of the concrete was poured on the dam and it began to impound its reservoir. The Burqin Shankou Dam will have a water-retaining rock dam. This feature will create a reservoir with a flooded area of 3.9 km2 and power density of 28.2W/m2. The dam will also have a water release structure, a water intake system, a powerhouse, two main transformers and four sets of 220 kV transmission lines. The plant is estimated to run 3,555 hours annually, producing 391 GWh of power, of which 390.2 GWh will be supplied to the Northwest China Power Grid (NWPG). As of Oct 2013, the Google Maps satellite view (probably a year or more old) shows the construction site, with a small coffer dam a bit upstream of the point where the permanent dam is being built. ==Clean Energy== The Northwest China Power Grid (NWPG) derives the bulk of its power from thermal power plants. The Burqin Shankou Dam will reduce that reliance on fossil-fuels. The dam is estimated to produce an equal amount of electricity that is currently generated by the thermal plants using fossil-fuels. This clean energy generation will reduce 325,442 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Burqin Shankou Dam」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
