The Longyangxia Dam is a concrete arch-gravity dam at the entrance of the Longyangxia canyon on the Yellow River in Gonghe County, Qinghai Province, China. The dam is 178 metres (584 ft) tall and was built for the purposes of hydroelectric power generation, irrigation, ice control and flood control.
In 2013 a solar photovoltaic station was built with a nameplate capacity of 320 MWp (Phase I), covering 9 square kilometres (3.5 sq mi).An additional 530 MWp (Phase II) was completed in 2015,covering further 14 square kilometres (5.4 sq mi), making Longyangxia Dam Solar Park, with 850 MWp capacity, the largest photovoltaic power station in China.
The solar power station is integrated with the Hydroelectric power station. The park is coupled to one of the hydroelectric turbines, which automatically regulate the output to balance the variable generation from solar before dispatching power to the grid. This limits the problems connected to variable solar generation while helping to conserve water.
A 2418m long, 5*120m main span beam bridge named Gamayangqu Yellow River bridge 尕玛羊曲黄河特大桥 built just upstrem of Longyangxia reservoir, N 35.685871, E 100.265136. With pier 111m tall,it will become the largest also highest bridge in Qinghai province. From google earth we can seen large area photovoltaic farm located in desert near this bridge and Longyangxia reservoir in N35.744179, E100.279916 .
