Dubbed as the 'smartest' hydropower station in the world, Wudongde Hydropower Station is located in the upper stretch of Yangtze River in Sichuan and Yunnan provinces of China. It is the country’s 4th largest hydropower station and 7th largest in the world, with an estimated annual output of 38.91 billion kWh.
The Wudongde Dam adopts the world’s thinnest 300-metre double-curved arch dam design. It must be able to sustain the water storage capacity of a millionth-level super large hydropower station, which poses a great challenge in terms of the crack resistance of the dam.
