Chapter 309 Small Reservoir Storage
In order to make the most efficient use of these water resources, Wei Minsheng also installed a water pipe with a diameter of 90 centimeters in cement in the arch dam, and installed a 50-kilowatt hydroelectric generator at the end of the water pipe.
In order to ensure the safe operation of the generator, a machine room was built for it and water control equipment for the aqueduct was installed.
Under the effect of water quantity control equipment, the amount of water flowing to the fish ponds and paddy fields of Huaxia Villa can be flexibly adjusted in the generator room, and this adjustment also indirectly affects the size of power generation.
Although the water pipe is only made of ordinary PVC, because the water pipe is completely encased in concrete, even if the water pipe is aged in the future, it will not affect the use of the aqueduct.
In order to facilitate the later maintenance of the aqueduct and to prevent the stems of fish, shrimp and other plants in the reservoir from clogging the inlet of the aqueduct, Wei Minsheng also built a cofferdam around the intake.
The electric gate on the cofferdam is directly controlled by the water control equipment in the generator room, and after the gate is used to close the inlet of the aqueduct, the aqueduct with a diameter of up to 90 centimeters, with the help of the safety rope, as long as the person who is not particularly burly can directly enter the aqueduct to deal with some simple blockage problems.
Wei Minsheng now does not have the ability to design and build a dam body hundreds of meters high, and the arch dam with a height of more than 10 meters is only imitated according to what he has seen.
The bottom of the dam is more than 10 meters deep, and it is very simple to withstand the water pressure of more than one atmosphere, and it does not require much deep engineering design knowledge.
Such a water storage depth is capable of ordinary earth-rock dams, not to mention arch dam structures with better pressure-bearing capacity.
In order to ensure the safety of the reservoir arch dam, a large amount of reinforced concrete is used to reinforce the important stress parts such as the abutment and the bottom of the dam.
Whether the arch dam is properly designed will only be known after the reservoir is filled with water in the future.
Due to the existence of the surrounding hills, there is no water source in the valley itself, and the spring water used by Huaxia Mountain Resort usually flows to the mountain villa next to this valley.
According to Wei Minsheng's plan, after the cement curing period of the dam is reached, a waterway will be opened in a suitable place, and the spring water will be directly channeled into the valley during the flood season, and finally a mountain lake will be formed.
In the event of a flash flood, the reservoir can also be a good way to divert and buffer the flash flood, so as to avoid the flash flood directly washing away the buildings and related facilities of Huaxia Villa.
Even in the event of a major flash flood, when the reservoir water storage exceeds the maximum water level of the reservoir, and the flood gate is fully open and the water level cannot be lowered, only the gate at the entrance of the waterway needs to be closed, and the excess flood water can flow to Huaxia Villa through the previous waterway.
It is then discharged to Lotte Creek through a large-diameter flood discharge pipe laid by the previous fish pond, which will not affect the existing buildings and facilities of Huaxia Villa.
In normal times, the draft water of Huaxia Villa can be supplied through the power generation channel, which can generate more than 1,000 kWh of electricity resources per day while ensuring daily water use.
In addition to being used as the electricity consumption of the reservoir power generation management room, all the excess electricity is sent to the power plant of Huaxia Villa through the cable for unified dispatch.
Although the current Huaxia Villa has not established a complete power dispatching facility, there are many distributed power storage facilities.
These ways of storing electricity through the UPS uninterruptible power supply system can maximize the use of power resources generated by wind, solar, water and gas power generation equipment.
The equipment with high power consumption is supplied with gas generator sets, and the UPS system is used for power supply with low power consumption.
In order to ensure the full utilization of power resources, Wei Minsheng also set up a number of part-time power dispatchers in important power consumption units through simple manual scheduling.
If the power plant finds that the power generation equipment is overloaded or there are important equipment that need to apply for high-power electricity, the power supply of non-critical power facilities will be cut off in time through the walkie-talkie to ensure the safety of power generation equipment.
When the power plant finds that the load of the power generation equipment is not enough, it will notify the UPS system with power storage capacity and space through the walkie-talkie in time to connect to the grid to charge the battery pack.
Although this method is a bit troublesome, it is the most cost-effective way to save money and worry before Huaxia establishes a real smart grid dispatching system.
Although there is not much water in this small reservoir now, as long as the water from these springs is concentrated to a certain depth, the general weather has little effect on the water temperature.
In the case of little change in water temperature, the amount of water lost through surface evaporation is completely negligible.
Now that the reservoir has been built, the construction of the waterworks, which had been included in this year's construction plan, has also begun.
Since the water resources of this world have hardly been polluted, and the main source of the reservoir in the future is mountain spring water, the clear spring water has been brought to the real world by Wei Minsheng for testing, and it has completely reached the standard of direct drinking.
As a result, the main facilities of the waterworks are actually just a few sedimentation filters, which are used to cope with the impact of flash floods on the water quality of the reservoir.
Of course, in order to ensure the safety of drinking water for all the personnel in Huaxia Villa and prevent hostile forces from poisoning the water source, Wei Minsheng still asked Liu Mengling and her sisters to purchase a set of small bottled drinking water production equipment and install it in the water plant, so that families with conditions can use convenient water dispensers.
At the same time, the sterilized drinking water is supplied to the kitchen tank through a separate water pipe connected to the centralized kitchen, realizing the separate supply of drinking water and water.
In the interior of Huaxia Villa, most of the water resources have been comprehensively utilized, forming a virtuous circle.
As long as this drought can be survived, when this small reservoir is filled with water, it can greatly enhance the ability of Huaxia Mountain Resort to resist drought.
Of course, since Wei Minsheng has the cheating device of shared space in hand, where do you need to slowly rely on the sky to store water.
As soon as the concrete maintenance period of the arch dam arrived, Wei Minsheng and Li Yan repeated their old tricks, and under the cover of night, they used the shared space to transfer the water from the Yangtze River to this valley.
