Scope
GB/T 44634-2024 is the English-translated version of 水力发电技术基本术语.
GB/T 44634-2024 is the basic terminology of hydropower engineering in China, and at 459 pages it is the reference dictionary for the largest hydropower programme in the world. A terminology standard of this size is not a glossary appended to a technical document; it is the document the technical documents are written against, and it is what makes a Chinese hydropower contract, design report, safety assessment or environmental statement mean the same thing to everyone who reads it. The twenty subject clauses cover the whole field: engineering management, hydrology and sediment in eleven subclauses, planning, survey and exploration, the structures themselves from gravity and arch dams through embankment dams, spillways, conveyance works, powerhouses, navigation locks, slopes and diversion works, construction, materials, safety monitoring, electromechanical equipment, metering, safety and emergency, energy conservation, environmental protection, resettlement, investment, economic evaluation, digitalisation and archives. For anyone working on a Chinese hydropower project, or translating for one, this is the vocabulary.

3.1 Engineering Technology Integration
3.1.1 Hydropower Project Hydropower station projects with hydropower generation as the main task and projects with peak regulation, valley filling, energy storage, frequency regulation, phase regulation and emergency standby as the main tasks Pumped storage power station project for the service.
3.1.2 Hydropower complex In hydropower projects, it is composed of water-blocking structures, water-discharging structures, water-transmitting structures, hydropower station buildings, switch stations and other buildings. Complex.
Note. According to the requirements of comprehensive utilization of water resources, when the hydropower hub project needs to take into account the functions of flood control, irrigation, water supply, sediment removal, navigation, and fish passage, the hub building group The completion must also include hydraulic structures with related functions.
3.1.3 Hydropower Station A complex of various buildings and equipment that converts water energy into electrical energy.
3.1.4 A hydroelectric power station that uses a dam to concentrate the river section difference to form a generating head.
3.1.5 A hydroelectric power station that uses a water diversion channel to concentrate the river section difference to form a generating head.
3.1.6 A hydroelectric power station that uses a dam and a diversion channel to concentrate the river section difference to form a generating head.
3.1.7 The surplus electric energy of the power system is used to pump water from the lower reservoir to the upper reservoir, and the electric energy is converted into the potential energy of water and stored; when the power system needs A power station that releases water from the upper reservoir to the lower reservoir to generate electricity and then converts the potential energy of the water into electrical energy.
