Seeing Liu Mo'ang still hesitant, Zhao Yue simply said to Xiao Zhu: "You go out to prepare a car and notify the county water conservancy bureau by the way, and ask them to find an expert who is proficient in water and electricity. I will come over to consult some things later."

Zhu Tianming responded and Liu Mo'ang said, "Brother Zhao, there is no need to be such a complicated thing, right? Actually, I still want to do photovoltaic power generation..."

"Don't talk nonsense today. I'll tell you that photovoltaic power generation is a clean energy, and hydropower is also a clean energy. And compared with photovoltaic power generation, the maintenance cost of hydropower is lower and the stability is stronger. The most important thing is that if my idea of ​​using hot spring lake as a reservoir is feasible, your hydropower station may be more cost-effective. Let's go to the Water Conservancy Bureau first and listen to the experts' statement."

Liu Mo'ang followed Zhao Yue out of the door, drove behind Zhao Yue's car, and arrived at the county water conservancy bureau a few minutes later.

The leaders of the Water Conservancy Bureau have been waiting for a long time. After all, Zhao Yue is also the deputy county magistrate.

In a large conference room of the Water Resources Bureau, Liu Mo'ang met an old engineer in his fifties. After introducing him, he learned that he was an expert of the Water Resources Bureau, senior engineer, and his surname was Li.

"Mr. Li, this is the thing..." Zhao Yue didn't say nonsense, and said straight to the point that he suddenly came up with the plan.

Liu Mo'ang suddenly felt a little funny when he listened on the side. Is this a "brow-slap" project?

However, to Liu Mo'ang's surprise, the Li Gong became excited after listening to Zhao Yue's words.

"County Magistrate Zhao, I'll take a look at the geological and hydrological data over there first, please wait a moment."

The Li Gong was not polite, and began to cross the information Zhu Tianming brought, and while crossing, he took out a calculator to calculate some data.

About ten minutes later, Mr. Li raised his head and said, "County Magistrate Zhao, Mr. Liu, according to the current information, it is actually completely feasible to build a hydropower station with the help of the hot spring lake that will be formed in the future."

Mr. Li's words immediately made Zhao Yue's brows completely relax, "Mr. Li, then you will be affected in general."

"Mr. Zhao, according to the existing geological and hydrological data, built two water diversion channels to divert the river water from the upstream of Langnaqu and Zannaqu to the hot spring lake. At the same time, combined with the outflow of the six hot springs, the hot spring lake can form a medium-sized reservoir with a storage capacity of 30 million cubic meters. However, because the drop between the reservoir outlet and the Langnaqu River is not large, the water head may be a bit insufficient, so it is impossible to use too large turbines. But I estimate that it is still not a big problem to use three 10 megawatt or even four 10 megawatt flow turbines. At worst, you can build a water diversion hydropower station after the dam, which is completely feasible."

"Mr. Zhao, when I first started working, I worked in Hutoushan Reservoir in Linzhou County for a while. The reservoir capacity was slightly larger than that of this hot spring lake, but the drop was not as good as that of the hot spring lake. However, the reservoir built a rear-dam water diversion hydropower station with an installed capacity of 30 megawatts. Hutoushan Reservoir can do this, and it is no problem to do this in the hot spring lake."

Liu Mo'ang asked, "Mr. Li, what should I do when Lang Naqu and Zanarqu are frozen in winter? Just pointing at the six hot springs, I'm afraid the amount of water turbines can't support the power generation?"

"Well, you're right. But if you really build a hydropower station here, it will definitely not be power generation all year round. Seasonal power generation is the best. Besides, even during the ice period, Langnaqu and Zanaqu, there is still water flow under the ice. The real ice time is only about two months, and seasonal power generation is absolutely fine."

"But during the ice period, the minimum flow of these two rivers is only about 0.7 cubic meters per second, and this little water..."

Mr. Li smiled and pushed his glasses on his nose and said, "This little water is fine. At the beginning of this century, I went to Bashu for inspection and saw that there are many small 10-megawatt hydropower stations in the Bashu mountain area. Most of these hydropower stations are water-draining hydropower stations behind the dam. Because some rivers have very small water volume when the water reaches the dry season, they can only use this method to generate electricity. These small hydropower stations will build a very long drainage pipeline behind the dam, and some can even reach one kilometer in length. In this way, the length is exchanged for the drop and the water head can allow the hydropower station to generate electricity even in months with extremely small river runoff."

Zhao Yue asked: "Mr. Li, what is the minimum runoff value?"

Mr. Li smiled on his face and said with certainty: "It's very small, really small. I even didn't believe it after I learned this value, but it was the case. The minimum discharge flow was only a mere 0.3 cubic meters per second, but under this flow, the power generation is definitely not as good as the power generation during the flood season, but it is enough to ensure that the turbine can continue to generate electricity."

"0.3 cubic meters/second?" Several people were surprised, but looking at the affirmative look on Mr. Li's face, they couldn't believe it.

Mr. Li did not explain this matter again. It probably involved something too profound. He explained that everyone here would not understand. (PS: I specifically consulted with my classmates working in the Water Conservancy Bureau. In some small hydropower stations in the mountainous areas of southwest my country, we use the construction of long drainage pipes behind the dam to increase the water head and water level drop. It can indeed promote small kilowatt-level turbines to generate electricity at a minimum flow rate of 0.3 cubic meters/second. The book upgraded the kilowatt-level turbine to the megawatt level, and please don’t look at the data.)

"Don't forget, we have a hot spring lake! I have seen the geological conditions of this hot spring lake. As long as the geology of the lake basin of the hot spring lake does not have too much leakage, the normal storage capacity of this hot spring lake can reach 30 million cubic meters, about 5 million cubic meters of dead storage capacity, and the remaining Xingli storage capacity and flood control storage capacity are as high as 25 million cubic meters. In this way, even if Langnaqu and Zannaqu are all frozen, we generate electricity with a discharge volume of 2 cubic meters per second, and the storage capacity of these 25 million cubic meters can last for more than 140 days! Even if the discharge volume is doubled, it is enough to last for 72 days!"

Now everyone understood why this Li Gong gave such a positive answer after calculating.

Liu Mo'ang also understood completely now.

Well, the leakage problem that Master Li is worried about seems not to be a difficult task. With the ability of the Five Elements Small World, it can completely block the leakage areas of the lake basin. At worst, the Five Elements Small World will consume another wave...

Mr. Li continued: "Mr. Liu, according to the current data, I really hope that you can use hydropower. If you can really use 30 megawatts or even more installed capacity, then your hydropower station can be connected to the grid. Releasing excess electricity can create great benefits for you and create more taxes for the county. This is a win-win good thing. Moreover, if your hydropower station is connected to the grid, the procedures and other approvals will be easy, and you can even obtain subsidies from relevant national policies."

Gong Li is an expert in this field, so he naturally knows the tricks here.

Zhao Yue also nodded and said, "Mr. Li is right. At present, our power supply in Quka is mainly based on geothermal power generation and solar photovoltaic power generation in Wenquan Town, and there is no hydropower at all. If you can launch a hydropower station here, it will have a huge demonstration and driving effect on our entire county. As for policy matters, I will apply for you!"

Liu Mo nodded.

Mr. Li said again: "Mr. Liu, if you really want to go to a hydropower station here, now is the best time. After all, the hot spring lake is still early before it is full. You can take advantage of this time to build a dam, build drainage pipes and other earthwork projects, and even dig some places in the lake basin. In this way, your construction cost will be at least one-third less."

Liu Mo'ang was really moved now. Others had to build a diversion channel first to build a hydropower station. This thing alone would cost a lot of money. But the hot spring lake really didn't need to build such earthwork projects.

Although money comes quickly and you don’t feel sorry for spending it, it may be better to save some money. No one’s money is blown by the strong wind.

He smiled and said, "It's not that I don't want to use hydropower, it's because I've been thinking about solar photovoltaic power generation or even wind power. I didn't expect that the Hot Spring Lake could be used in this way."

Mr. Li waved his hand and said, "I think Mr. Liu, you also know that the investment is too high. On our side, the cost of kilowatts is equivalent to about 20,000 yuan. As for wind power, the cost of solar photovoltaic power generation is similar to that of solar photovoltaic power generation, maybe a little less, but the cost of kilowatts will definitely not be less than 15,000 yuan. After all, on the plateau, wind power may only cost four or five thousand yuan, but on the plateau, this number will at least triple. The most important thing is that whether it is solar photovoltaic power generation or wind power, the maintenance cost is very high, and wind power is even not suitable for us.

After all, there are too many strong winds here and the wind blower will automatically stop working. As for hydropower, no matter whether it is below and our plateau, the cost of kilowatts is similar. If the hydropower station is built normally on the plateau, the cost of kilowatts can basically be controlled at about 10,000 yuan. Here, because the hot spring lake has not yet been formed, many earthwork projects do not need to be done. In this way, the kilowatt cost of building a hydropower station can even be reduced to about 7,000 yuan! Hydropower is not only low in investment costs, but also low maintenance costs, and its operation is much stable than solar and wind power. Why don’t you consider using hydropower?”

Now Liu Mo'ang made up his mind, "Okay, then according to what Mr. Li said, as long as the conditions are met, I will go to water and electricity!"

Mr. Li smiled and said, "Mr. Liu, don't worry, I will take people to conduct a field inspection today. Even if there is no field inspection now, I am more than 70% sure that I can build a hydropower station for you there!"

Zhao Yue laughed silently. The comrades from the Water Conservancy Bureau were looking for. Although it was a bit inappropriate to describe Li Gong's mouth as "sophisticated" or "colored lotus" as "sophisticated" and "colored lotus", it is undeniable that not only do they have a neat mouth, but what they say is really real!
