Owner Ertan Hydropower Development Gates & Jiajiang Hydraulic Machinery Works, Company,Ltd. Hydromechanical China Gezhouba (Group) Corporation, Designer CHIDI Sinohydro Bureau No.8, Contractor EJV, SGEJV, GYBD The main project components of Ertan are a concrete double-curvature arch dam (240m high and 775m long) and a huge underground powerhouse complex. Ertan dam is China’s first dam exceeding 200m, and Ertan underground powerhouse complex is the largest one in Asia. The underground complex includes a powerhouse cavern (281m×26m to 31m×66m) with six 550MW units, a transformer cavern (215m×19m×25m) and a surge chamber (201m×19m×69m). The project also has the two large spillway tunnels (13m×13.5m) and a 500m-long bridge, 7 surface spillways and 6 middle outlets. The Project was completed in 2000.

    Supplementary file: Dam-break flood calculation results and investigation data of the Ertan Hydropower Station We have conducted a detailed study on dam-break calculation of the Ertan Hydropower Station and compiled a report: Analysis report on dam-break flood of the Ertan Hydropower Station. This report contains eight chapters, 280 pages and all written in Chinese, it is difficult to translate all of them. Due to the flooding scenario is a full dam break in our study, we only translated the main content of full dam-break calculation process. 1. Basic equation The evolution of the flood wave downstream is calculated by Saint Venant equation, and the Saint Venant equation is: (1) Where: Q: Discharge at dam site (m3/s); A: Effective cross section area (m2); A0: Area of beach land (m2); x : Distance along the direction of water flow (m); t: Time (s); q: Lateral inflow or outflow (m3/s); g: Gravity (m/s2) n 2 Q Q f: S Friction ratio drop, S f 4 2.21A2 R 3 kQ / A2 Se:local head loss, S e 2gx h:Water elevation (m); k:Coefficient of contraction. 2. Computational method Presimann's four-point eccentric implicit scheme is used to solve the equations (1) and the values of h and Q can be obtained at any time. Implicit difference equation can be written as: j11 j j j QQQQ 1 j11 j j j i11 i10 i i AAAAAAAA 0i 0 i11 0 i 0 i xi x i 2 t j (2) j1 j1 1 Q 2 Q 2 Q j1 Q j1 Q j Q j 2t i i1 i i1 x A A j i i1 i 2 j 2 j j1 1 j1 j1 j1 j1 1 Q Q (3) g A hi1 hi S f Se x x A A i i i1 i j 1 j j j j g A hi1 hi S f Se 0 xi Where, A Ai Ai1 / 2 2 2 4 3 S f n Q Q 2.21A R Q Q Q 2 i i1 R A B B B B 2 i i1 3.

  • China in Latin America: the Storm on the Horizon Investigating Chinese Investment and Its Effects in Colombia, Ecuador, and Bolivia Christina Pendergrast
    Prospectus Pendergrast 1 China in Latin America: The Storm on the Horizon Investigating Chinese Investment and its Effects in Colombia, Ecuador, and Bolivia Christina Pendergrast Over the past decade, China has steadily increased its economic presence throughout the global south.1 However, when it comes to scholarly analysis of Chinese investment policy, much of the scholarly focus has been placed on Africa despite major Chinese investments throughout Latin America. I plan to investigate the nature of Chinese investment in Latin America and how China plans to benefit from said investments. Therefore, this project seeks to discover: What kind of influence is China generating in Latin America through its economic investments, and how does/will that influence affect the balance of power in the region? This question interests me largely due to my experience within the realm of national security. While I was working with the State Department, I learned of the priority placed on China within the Intelligence Community. There were so many facets to the issue that it was hard to keep track of them all; however, I naturally gravitated towards the analysis of Chinese involvement in less developed countries. I had read about Chinese projects in Africa during my work with the Cipher Brief writing about developments in Africa, and to a lesser extent heard about China in the context of my Latin America regional classes. So, to research China in Latin America is a way that I can learn more about a topic relevant to the career I aspire to while contextualizing that new region within an area I am already familiar with.
