What is the main source of power generation in China?

Power generation in China mainly depends on thermal power.

China has the largest coal reserves in the world and has sufficient conditions to develop thermal power. Followed by hydropower, mainly in the south and southwest, followed by nuclear power, and finally wind power.

Thermal power generation is a kind of power generation method that uses the heat energy generated by the combustion of combustible substances to convert it into electric energy through power generation devices. Due to the shortage of fossil fuels on the earth, human beings are striving to develop nuclear power generation, nuclear fusion power generation and high-efficiency solar power generation in order to finally solve the energy problems faced by human society. The earliest thermal power generation was realized in 1875 Paris North Station Thermal Power Plant.

wind power generation

Converting wind energy into electric energy is the most basic way to use wind energy. Wind turbine is generally composed of wind wheel, generator (including device), direction regulator (tail wing), tower, speed limit safety mechanism and energy storage device.

The working principle of wind turbine is relatively simple. The wind wheel rotates under the action of the wind, which converts the kinetic energy of the wind into the mechanical energy of the wind wheel shaft. The generator is driven by the wind wheel shaft to rotate and generate electricity.

Wind wheel is a kind of wind collecting device, whose function is to convert kinetic energy of flowing air into mechanical energy of wind wheel rotation. Usually, the rotor of a wind turbine consists of two or three blades. In wind turbines, there are three kinds of generators, namely DC generators, synchronous alternators and asynchronous alternators.
