Features: In response to the call that "science and technology are productive forces and that they should be grasped by hundreds of millions of people, Sichuan Electric Power Company and Sichuan Provincial Electrical Engineering Society compiled this "Science Popularization Series of Electrical Knowledge Q&A," consisting of 6 volumes: "Electricity and Life," "Thermal Power Generation (Part 1)," "Thermal Power Generation (Part 2)," "Hydropower Generation," "Transmission and Distribution," and "Electric Power Environmental Protection." The content is easy to understand, not only covering basic electrical science and technology knowledge but also introducing the application of modern new technologies in the power industry, as well as multiple aspects of power environmental protection. This book is the "Hydropower Generation" volume, mainly including five parts: an overview of hydropower generation, reservoirs and hydrology, dam engineering, hydro-turbine generators and auxiliary equipment, and new technology applications, with a total of 103 questions covering all aspects of hydropower generation. This series can serve as both a science popularization textbook for a broad range of power industry workers and the public, and a textbook for non-electrical professionals in management, technical positions, and for the continuous education of power industry workers.
