Abstract

Goupitan Hydropower Station is largest control project in cascade development of the Wujiang River. The total capacity of its reservoir is 6.451 billion m 3, its total installed capacity is 3 000 MW and the its highest dam height is 232.2 m, whole pivot belong to engineering grand I. Comprehensively analyzed topographic and geological conditions of dam site and the features of various structures, layout scheme of the pivot was decided as that concrete double-curve arch dam located on the river bed, up and middle orifices for discharge distribute on the dam body, water cushion for dissipation is behind the dam, diversion and spillway tunnels as well as pre-reserve navigable structure are laid on the left bank, diversion system and underground power house are laid on the right bank.
