Abstract
In this paper, the turbine-generating units installed in Three Gorges Power Plant with the rated capacity of 700 MW are introduced. It is emphasized the parameters, structural features and manufacturing and installation progresses. The results of the two model acceptance tests showed that the efficiency and cavitation characteristics of the turbine reached world-leading level. The first batch of units is expected to be put into operation in Aug., 2003. A series of prototype unit acceptance testes will be carried out at the site.
