Baishan Dam
The 928th tallest dam in the world
The Baishan Dam (meaning: "White Mountain Dam") is an arch-gravity dam on the Second Songhua River near the town of Baishanzhen, Huadian, Jilin Province, China. The purpose of the dam is hydroelectric power generation and flood control. The dam supplies water to five turbine-generators in two different powerhouses for an installed capacity of 1,500 megawatts (2, 000, 000 hp) while it can also control a design 19,100-cubic-metre-per-second (670, 000 cu ft/s) flood. Additionally, it has a 300-megawatt (400, 000 hp) pumped-storage hydroelectric generation capacity. It is named after Baekdu Mountain (White Mountain), near the city of Baishan.
