China Electric Power Equipment
By the early 1970s, major generator production centers in
Harbin, Liaoning Province, Shanghai, Beijing, and Deyang, Sichuan
Province, had built both hydro and thermal generators as large as
300 megawatts. There also were numerous small and medium-sized
plants producing generators in the 3.2 to 80-megawatt range. As of
1986, China manufactured condenser-type turbo-generating units with
capacities of 6,000 to 300,000 kilowatts; back-pressure extraction
generating units with capacities of 12,000 to 50,000 kilowatts,
geothermal facilities with capacities of 1,000 to 3,000 kilowatts;
and hydropower equipment consisting of generator equipment with an
18-million-kilowatt capacity. Deficiencies showed in powergenerating equipment and transmission technology, and significant
problems existed in direct-current transmission, particularly in
converter technology. China continued to lack experience in design
and production of high-volt-ampere transformers and circuit
breakers.
