Souapiti Hydropower Station

Souapiti Hydropower Station is a physics topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Souapiti Hydropower Station rather than just read about it. In short: The Souapiti Hydropower Station (Chinese: 苏阿皮蒂水电站), also known as Souapiti Hydropower Project or Souapiti Hydropower Plant, is a water conservancy project in the Republic of Guinea, located on the Konkoure River, with a total installed capacity of 550 MW. This project was constructed by China International Water & Electric Corporation (CWE).

Key takeaways

Souapiti Hydropower Station belongs to physics; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Souapiti Hydropower Station to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Souapiti Hydropower Station from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

The Souapiti Hydropower Station (Chinese: 苏阿皮蒂水电站), also known as Souapiti Hydropower Project or Souapiti Hydropower Plant, is a water conservancy project in the Republic of Guinea, located on the Konkoure River, with a total installed capacity of 550 MW. This project was constructed by China International Water & Electric Corporation (CWE). The generating station is expected to cost about $2 billion.

History The groundbreaking ceremony for the Souapiti Hydropower Station was held on December 22, 2015. The hydropower plant was completed and put into operation in 2021. Large dam projects have historically had negative impacts on the environment and local communities, which are displaced by reservoir flooding. In response, many dam builders and funders agreed to a set of principles created by the World Commission on Dams in 2000. According to the nonprofit International Rivers, the residents of Madina Tahiré, Tènè Kansa and Khouloufa (located in the Dubreka prefecture North West of Guinea) were not adequately consulted on dam construction. Villagers were relocated to locations with infertile land and inadequate water supply, in violation of their human rights and international law.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Souapiti Hydropower Station

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Souapiti Hydropower Station claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In physics, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Souapiti Hydropower Station before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Souapiti Hydropower Station ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Souapiti Hydropower Station

In research: Souapiti Hydropower Station appears in physics research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Souapiti Hydropower Station in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Souapiti Hydropower Station is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics African building and structure stubs, Energy in Africa, Guinea stubs, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Souapiti Hydropower Station outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
