HVDC Three Gorges – Changzhou River using tall pylons. The electrode at Chujiahu is also used by HVDC Hubei - Shanghai for grounding. HVDC Three Gorges – Changzhou The HVDC Three Gorges – Changzhou is an long bipolar HVDC transmission line in China for the transmission of electric power from the Three Gorges power plant to the area of Changzhou. The transmission line went into service in 2004. It runs from the static inverter station, Longquan, away from the Three Gorges power plant to the static inverter plant, Zhengping, near Changzhou. The HVDC Three Gorges-Changzhou is a bipolar 500 kV powerline with a maximum transmission
Three Gorges Dam the land in the area is experiencing erosion, depositing about 40 million tons of sediment into the Yangtze annually. Because the flow is slower above the dam, much of this sediment will now settle there instead of flowing downstream, and there will be less sediment downstream. The absence of silt downstream has three effects: Erosion in the reservoir, induced by rising water, causes frequent major landslides that have led to noticeable disturbance in the reservoir surface, including two incidents in May 2009 when somewhere between of material plunged into the flooded Wuxia Gorge of the Wu River. Also, in the
