During the National Two Sessions, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized when participating in the Qinghai delegation’s deliberations that all regions should take into account actual conditions, adapt measures to local conditions, make up for their strengths, and take a path of high-quality development that suits the actual conditions of the region.
From the Qaidam Basin to the source of the Three Rivers, rows of wind turbines are running day and night, and solar photovoltaic power stations stand on the plateau.
Combining local advantages and resources, Qinghai is implementing an innovation-driven development strategy, and is embarking on an eco-friendly high-quality development path.
Qinghai is rich in wind and solar resources
A few days ago, the reporter learned from the State Grid Qinghai Electric Power Company: In February this year, the total power generation in Qinghai Province was 6.554 billion kWh, of which hydroelectric power generation was 2.312 billion kWh, accounting for 35.27%; new energy power generation was 2.627 billion kWh. , Accounting for 40.09%, a year-on-year increase of 43.99%.
"This is the first time that the monthly power generation of new energy exceeds that of hydropower, and it has become the largest power source in the province." said Fang Baomin, director of the dispatch control center of the State Grid Qinghai Electric Power Company.
The amount of wind energy that can be developed in Qinghai Province is considerable, and solar energy resources are also abundant.
How to transform resource endowments into development advantages?
Qinghai is implementing the innovation-driven development strategy and is striving to build a national clean energy industry highland.
In Gonghe County, Hainan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province, the rushing Yellow River "quieted" here.
The Longyangxia Hydropower Station, which once represented the highest level of hydropower projects in my country, stood on the wall.
During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, this hydropower station has added new power-on the grassland 50 kilometers away from the hydropower station, there is a hydro-photovoltaic complementary photovoltaic power station with an installed capacity of 850,000 kilowatts.
It turned out that in response to the intermittency, volatility, randomness and other issues of photovoltaic power generation, Qinghai Shipping used advanced water and light complementary adjustment technology to send the photovoltaic power here to the Longyangxia Hydropower Station to adjust the unstable photovoltaic power to a balanced and high-quality , Safe and stable power supply.
The reporter learned that the current annual power generation capacity of this hydro-photovoltaic complementary photovoltaic power station reaches 1.494 billion kilowatt-hours, which is equivalent to 1/4 of the annual power generation capacity of the Longyangxia Hydropower Station.
The peak and frequency modulation performance of hydropower stations has also been improved by about 30% due to the complementary effects of photovoltaic power stations.
Technology leads with different standards and new standards, and promotes the continuous improvement of the quality and growth rate of Qinghai's clean energy industry: By the end of 2020, the Qingyu DC Project will be fully completed and put into operation.
This is the world's first long-distance transmission channel for new energy.
"Its construction and commissioning have strongly supported the development of Qinghai's green industry." Fang Baomin said that in the past year alone, Qinghai Power Grid has added 87 grid-connected new energy stations with an installed capacity of 8.61 million kilowatts.
"Green electricity" with low carbon emissions gets more use
In March in Hehuang, people are diligent in the early spring.
Located in the Qinghai Dongchuan Industrial Park in Xining, the head of a company is checking the production status, and the company’s workshop is busy.
This company is a supplier of materials related to new energy products and consumes up to 2 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity each year.
Nowadays, this large energy user can independently choose more economical and preferential "green power" as long as they log in to the Qinghai Electric Power Trading Platform. This is due to the fact that State Grid Qinghai Electric Power Company actively organizes new energy companies in the province and 95 companies in 13 industries. Several industrial and mining companies participate in direct power transactions.
"Through the use of'green electricity' multilateral transactions, the cost of energy consumption for enterprises is greatly reduced, and the annual electricity bill can be saved by tens of millions of yuan." The person in charge said, "because enterprises choose to use more'green electricity', carbon emissions during product production The quantity has been greatly reduced, and this product has a competitive advantage in the domestic and foreign markets."
Entering the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, under the guidance of relevant national policies, Qinghai Province has also put forward relevant targets for the province to achieve carbon peaks.
According to reports, the local government will strive to create a new pattern of clean development and continuously improve Qinghai’s energy resources through measures such as comprehensively improving grid interconnection and interoperability, comprehensively improving clean energy consumption, continuous innovation in the practice of energy transformation in Qinghai, and full expansion of the field of electric energy substitution. The ability to transform advantages into economic advantages.
Clean energy industry drives local people's income
In Angma Village, Shoule Town, Ledu District, Haidong City, at an altitude of more than 3,000 meters, on the huge and flat plateau, a large number of photovoltaic panels seem to put a "blue hat" on the mountain.
"This centralized photovoltaic poverty alleviation power station was connected to the grid in the summer of 2019, and the number of photovoltaic panels exceeded 100,000." Zhang Hongcheng, chairman of Qinghai Poverty Alleviation Development Investment Co., Ltd., is like a few treasures: Don’t look at the power station being built in Angma Village. The coverage area is 141 villages in Ledu District.
It turned out that in the past few years, Qinghai built 40 centralized photovoltaic poverty alleviation power stations in 8 cities and prefectures in the province. The total installed capacity of photovoltaic poverty alleviation projects reached 730,000 kilowatts. The annual power generation is expected to generate 570 million yuan in revenue and benefit 283,000 people.
Aiming at the reality of the vast territory, Qinghai uses advanced technologies such as big data and the Internet of Things to promote the transformation of new energy plants to a digital operation and maintenance model of "unmanned and few people on duty".
"A centralized photovoltaic power station covering a thousand acres of land like this does not require many operation and maintenance personnel, and the line loss is also greatly reduced." Zhang Hongcheng calculated an account. Using advanced technology, the power station can reduce the overall operating cost by more than 40%. , Qinghai’s 40 centralized photovoltaic power stations add up to reduce operating costs by about 20 million yuan per year.
Qinghai distributes all the income from photovoltaic projects to the village collectives and concentrates resources on major tasks.
"The annual income of photovoltaic projects in each village is about 300,000 yuan, of which 60% will be used to develop and strengthen the village's collective economy, and the remaining 40% will be used as support funds to drive stable income growth for the people in need through the establishment of public welfare posts." Qi Lide, secretary of the Lezhen Party Committee, told reporters, “We are planning to pool the revenue of photovoltaic projects and develop rural tourism and characteristic planting industries based on local conditions.”
In 2020, Qinghai Province's clean energy power generation amounted to 84.7 billion kilowatt-hours, an increase of 8.7% year-on-year, and clean energy power generation accounted for 89% of the total power generation.
From the perspective of environmental protection, 84.7 billion kilowatt-hours of clean electricity is equivalent to replacing 38.11 million tons of raw coal and promoting 62.68 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions.
The clean energy industry is putting wings to take off in the villages of Qinghai.
