"The energy industry in China represents the world's largest untapped customer base and provides MTC and its partners with the opportunity to play a leading role in bringing the energy infrastructure in China into the 21st century." MTC China will deliver 100,000 advanced commercial electric meters for use beginning in late 1999 as a key element in China's emerging power distribution system. MTC metering systems will be used for the Ertan Hydropower hy·dro·pow·er n. Hydroelectric power. Project, which will become one of the world's largest hydroelectric plant and distribution system with an installed capacity of 3,300 megawatts coming online in 2000. The Ertan Project includes a 200-meter parabolic par·a·bol·ic also par·a·bol·i·cal adj. 1. Of or similar to a parable. 2. Of or having the form of a parabola or paraboloid. double-curvature arch dam An arch dam is a thin, curved concrete or masonry dam structure which is curved upstream in plan so that the force of the water against it squeezes the arch, compressing and strengthening the structure and pushing it into the ground. (China's first dam over 200 meters high), two diversion tunnels (with the largest cross section in the world), and a mechanical log-passing facility with an annual capacity of 1.1 million cubic meters Noun 1. cubic meter - a metric unit of volume or capacity equal to 1000 liters cubic metre, kiloliter, kilolitre metric capacity unit - a capacity unit defined in metric terms . The Ertan Project brings electricity to the Yalong River Yalong River or Ya-lung River River, Sichuan province, southern China. It rises in mountains at an elevation of nearly 16,500 ft (5,000 m) in Qinghai province and flows into the Yangtze River (Chang Jiang) on the Yunnan border. region in China's Southwest. The 21 cascade hydropower projects planned for the Yalong River have a total installed capacity of more than 23 gigawatts. MTC China will also provide to China provincial utilities 1.2 million residential PLC powerline carrier metering systems as the first phase of a nationwide electric system. The MTC PLC residential metering solution enable a single gateway meter to serve up to 300 residential meters using a single telephone line to communicate energy usage with the energy utility. About MTC MTC was founded in 1997 to provide innovative metering solutions for the revitalized re·vi·tal·ize tr.v. re·vi·tal·ized, re·vi·tal·iz·ing, re·vi·tal·iz·es To impart new life or vigor to: plans to revitalize inner-city neighborhoods; tried to revitalize a flagging economy. and expanding market for energy measurement solutions. Its proprietary silicon chip technology enables MTC to deliver intelligent, extremely low-cost meters for integrated energy measurement and communications solutions and services.
