The ever-increasing power demand, energy conservation and emission reduction, adjustment of power supply structure, power grid security, development of the electricity market, new construction of power facilities, and the upgrading of old equipment, and the application of new technologies will all contribute to the constant development of power transmission and transformation technologies.
Then, in the future, where will the technical development of power transmission and transformation equipment go?
Is it smart? Flexible transmission? Or high-temperature superconducting technology? ......
Not long ago, following the discussions in the future power generation equipment industry development trend, China Electrotechnical Society also held a forum of experts in Beijing "power transmission equipment future development strategy."
Smart grid technology is booming
To explore the future development direction of power transmission and transformation technology, " First, we should pay attention to what the future power grid is like, " said Xiao Liye, director of the Institute of Electrical Engineering at the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
He believes that with the continuous development of renewable energy, the pattern of primary energy-based renewable energy and terminal energy-based power will become a reality in the future. “ This major change in the energy system will bring significant challenges to the power grid. And the serious impact. And the development of new technologies such as information technology, communication technology, new material technology, energy storage technology, etc. provide technical support for meeting these major challenges. "
Therefore, Xiao Liye believes that the use of modern information technology, new materials technology, energy storage technology and new grid organization and operation methods, and other smart grids, can accommodate large-scale access to new energy systems and make the grid Links to optimize adaptive interaction. "It can be said that smart grid and clean energy are complementary and indispensable. Smart grid can also be called ' future grid ' or ' next generation grid ' . "
In this regard, Shi Zuming, a professor-level senior engineer at Shanghai Electric Transmission and Distribution Group, holds the same basic view. He said, “ Future energy will focus on energy efficiency, renewable energy, energy storage and ' plug and play ' electric vehicles. These solutions will rely on the smart grid. Therefore, the smart grid is the foundation of future supportable energy. â€
“ Intelligence has become a new trend in the development of the world's power grids, and the development of smart grids has an important role to play in ensuring energy security, improving energy efficiency, improving energy structure, coping with climate change, and improving service levels. Some countries have incorporated them into national energy sources. Strategy, and some use it as an important measure to deal with the current international financial crisis. " Professor Wang Gang of Henan Pinggao Electric Co., Ltd. introduced the introduction.
He believes that “ Using UHV and smart grid as the main trend of grid development in the next period, whether conceptually or practically feasible, the future development strategy of power transmission and transformation equipment should also be UHV and smart grid. Determined for the base point. "
In fact, " intelligence " is one of the most frequently used words on the day of the forum. Wu Wei, deputy general manager of TBEA Co., Ltd. also gave his own opinion. “The future technology of power transmission and transformation equipment manufacturers should develop in the following directions: first, UHV, second, intelligent, and third, energy saving and environmental protection. Equipment, the fourth is system integration technology, to the intensive development.
