Description
This dataset represents the average power generation situation of run-of-river hydropower stations in China. Its data are obtained by weighted aggregation of the production datasets of Hebei, Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Fujian and other provinces (regions, municipalities). For the production datasets of specific regions, the power generation data are estimated by deducting the power generation of pumped storage and reservoir-dam type hydropower stations from the total local hydropower generation, and the average-scale hydropower station parameters are set at 50 years according to design specification standards. The data are mainly sourced from official statistical data.
Activity Description
The system boundary covers the entire operation and maintenance stage of run-of-river hydropower plants, including releasing water to drive the turbines and routine equipment maintenance.
Process Description
The product is grid-connected power in kWh, with a voltage level of ≥35 kV.

Technology comment
Run-of-river hydropower stations do not have regulating reservoirs, and the parameters for an average-sized hydropower plant are set to a 50-year design standard.
