In parts of China have been tense due to coal when power cuts occur in the grasslands of Inner Mongolia, a huge windmill seat electric power in the channel because of poor and stall.
Recently, this reporter from the Inner Mongolia Electric Power company plans officer that since last winter, Inner Mongolia grid (excluding the eastern four-Union City) have access within the installed capacity of 4.302 million kilowatts of wind power. In the daytime peak, Inner Mongolia Power consumption can be satisfied all these wind turbines, but the trough electricity at night, due to the heating unit to ensure the operation of thermal power, had to abandon air fan stops and the 320 MW wind turbine can not contribute to the proportion accounted for 80%. The night wind is the largest grassland, the most stable of gold for power generation.
Difficult to access a restricted wind power
“This winter, Inner Mongolia, a large area of abandoned wind turbine is very serious.” Zhang Fusheng, general manager of Inner Mongolia Electric Power Corporation, said in an interview, as Inner Mongolia’s wind power can not be incorporated into the national grid, wind power can not be completely digested in Inner Mongolia, to the north and other areas and can not get electricity.
According to Zhang Fusheng introduction, Inner Mongolia Power Grid by optimizing the scheduling, daytime wind power are able to run at full capacity, but the night after the trough in order to ensure urban heating, wind power had to take measures to abandon the wind. Inner Mongolia Power Grid during the night after the minimum load (including to the East) of about 12.3 million kilowatts, of which thermal power accounted for Heating Unit 12 million kilowatts. To ensure heating ensuring people left margin of wind power capacity has been tiny, wind power can not meet the requirements of full access. Current requirements and network operation in Inner Mongolia Wind Power capacity has been accounted for the highest power supply load 27%, far exceeding the capacity of Inner Mongolia Power Grid (China’s Inner Mongolia Power Grid Power Research Institute demonstrated the capacity of wind power 8% to 10%).
For enterprises, the loss suffered particularly severe. According to State Power Long Yuan Qi, general manager of the new energy company introduced the next life, winter, they Wulanchabu Phaeton Schiller Prairie Wind Farm, has no power to send, there is not a high spirit, had to give up the wind at night direct economic losses have reached 80 million yuan.
Jingneng International Yueheng Fei, said, Beijing will have been put into operation in Inner Mongolia had 700,000 kilowatts of wind power, due to western Mongolia grid Absorptive not too much wind, only to abandon the wind fan stall. From last winter to New Year’s Day 2010, the company has lost 180 million kwh of electricity, equivalent to a loss of more than 100 million yuan.
When reporters learned in the investigation, the present to invest in wind power in Inner Mongolia has more than 60 companies, every business on the transmission capacity limits of wind power concerned. In their view, if not resolved the issue for delivery of wind power, renewable energy construction in China, especially wind power will be badly hit.
Delivery of wind power to solve pressing
Affected by the cold winter in 2009, our multi-provincial power cuts, the railway transport capacity tight, coal carts were blocking roads a day 10 hours, rising coal prices, but the Inner Mongolia Wind Power, a large number of idle thermal power, but not lack of delivery electric region. Inner Mongolia Wind Power Development for gridlock, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Director of State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission and the Soviet Union that the construction of West Inner Mongolia Power Grid for delivery as soon as possible channels to solve the Inner Mongolia Wind Power development and achieve national clean energy shared fundamental way.
Inner Mongolia is rich in wind resources, the cost of the electricity price is also an advantage. Hours of wind energy in Inner Mongolia, wind power costs less than 0.46 yuan full / kWh (south thermal power electricity price more than 0.52 yuan / kWh), wind power is about 0.1 yuan per kilowatt-hour of compensation available, coupled with carbon sequestration trade and investment in wind power enterprises in Inner Mongolia, the enthusiasm continues to climb. National Development and Reform Commission has sent two special study group in-depth site visits in Inner Mongolia, and issued a circular calling for State Grid Corporation come up with in the context of the national electricity market, wind power consumptive programs.
Su and recommendations, construction of wind power in Inner Mongolia can learn from the experience of the Three Gorges, the establishment of the National Electricity Market Absorptive wind mechanism. 10 years ago, in planning the construction of the Three Gorges hydropower station, the channel sent in advance planning and design to ensure reliable electricity at the same time the Three Gorges hydropower station sent into production. In view of large-scale wind power development, wind power transmission project brings together long distance, large investment unit the actual situation of the Three Gorges hydropower can cut a piece out of funds to build “wind of the Three Gorges” and the external transmission channel. Or the use of national reconstruction and electrification of the rural power network introduced in railway construction support policies for the introduction of wind power tariff policy sent debt service.
Zhang Fusheng that wind power development at the national power grid (including the China Southern Power Grid) level of market acceptance of wind power, under the overall co-ordination plan, provinces and regions in the electricity market acceptance of wind power must stay out of the space.
