Chapter 374: The Desert "King of Wind Turbines" (1/2)
There is a saying, "You are bare your waist in Sanya in the south, and she is wrapped in a mink in the Mohe River in the north......"
When Boss Qi was getting married and on his honeymoon, and he was soaking in the sea to develop the island, Wei Ming led the desert development team to work hard in the "Desert Spring".
At the beginning of April, the Tengger Desert has just returned to spring, but the weather is still very cold, especially at night, quite cold.
But it's not just cold, it's hot and cold.
Yesterday the sky was clear, and today it is freezing to death, and the Tengger Desert has entered the season of "madness".
Wei Ming joked with his colleagues: "Freezing to death in winter is a well-deserved death! Freezing to death in autumn is unwilling, freezing to death in spring is purely accidental, as for freezing to death in summer, it is not blinding......
But in the midst of this hot and cold, good news keeps coming.
With the joint efforts of the Alayan government, Jiagu Group and the "Two Desert Reservoir" Construction Committee, it took more than half a year to complete a sand-piercing highway leading to the reservoir site. This road opens up the blood of the Tengger Desert and the Badangirin Desert, continuously transporting nutrients, and the desert is like dead wood in spring.
"Two desert reservoirs" because it is located at the junction of two deserts and get its name, has now entered the stage of design demonstration, the design capacity of the reservoir has reached 80 billion cubic meters, properly entered the world's top ten reservoir capacity ranks of the famous Three Gorges Reservoir, the reservoir capacity is only nearly 40 billion cubic meters, put in the world, the ranking is outside the 20th.
That is to say, after the completion of the "two desert reservoirs", it will be the largest artificial reservoir in China. Of course, the Three Gorges Reservoir also has many functions such as navigation, flood control, and power generation, while the "Two Desert Reservoirs" are mainly used for water storage and water transfer.
For such a large project, which is being constructed in the desert, the "Two Desert Reservoirs" Construction Committee has organized several batches of expert groups to conduct various reviews and demonstrations.
Seeing that the wind farm invested and built by Jiagu Group began to be connected to the grid for power generation, another batch of expert groups came here.
The end point of the road through the sand is precisely the wind farm in Jiagu.
Visible materials run on the road, and invisible green energy flows on the grid.
Xue Tao, chief engineer of the leading group for the demonstration of the two desert reservoir projects, sat in the car heading to the wind farm, the end of the highway was clear and clear, as if reaching out to touch, along the road is a boundless grid, and the sand willow and artemisia form a green ecological barrier. It didn't take long for a large fan to begin to come into view.
Wei Ming led the Jiagu team to greet Chief Engineer Xue and his party at the wind farm.
After the two sides met and got to know each other, Chief Engineer Xue said heartily to Wei Ming and the others: "I heard that the wind turbine of your Jiagu Wind Farm has been installed and has begun to be connected to the grid for power generation, let's come and disturb ......."
Wei Ming said with a smile: "Chief Engineer Xue is polite, you are welcome to come and guide the work." ”
During the greetings, the group walked towards the wind farm under the leadership of Wei Ming.
The foothills are verdant, white wind turbines stand in the wind, herds of camels stroll leisurely, and the blue sky complements each other, and human technology and nature are perfectly integrated.
The sky was blue and the wind was cool.
For thousands of years, the wind has been nothing more than a chant written by literati. The great wealth contained in it has been lost in vain. Later, people used windmills to get water for irrigation and sail forward with the wind, but the real value of the wind was fully exploited and utilized by wind power generation.
Just looking at the beautiful picture presented in front of him, Xue Tao nodded secretly: "Jiagu's environmental restoration has done a good job!"
Wei Ming is not modest: "In order to prevent sandstorms and soil erosion, we use plant spraying technology to make grass grow on the surface of the rocks in the foothills of the wind farm, and in order to quickly cover the surface of the bare ground, we also restore the greenery by transplanting humus soil and planting turf......
It is through a series of greening measures that the once bare stone mountains and barren deserts are now lush and green.
After a wind turbine is erected, it blends well into such a landscape and becomes a beautiful landscape.
"What is the current scale of power generation of wind farms?" Xue Tao stopped, a large wind turbine appeared in front of them, looked up, three large blades whirring, diligently capturing the wind passing by, and feeding the clean energy given by nature into the power grid.
Wei Ming said: "The first phase of the project, with an installed capacity of 37,200 kilowatts, is composed of 28 wind turbines and ancillary equipment, and is expected to generate 150 million kWh of electricity annually. ”
In the face of the harsh natural conditions of high altitude, temperature and wind and sand, with the close cooperation of the builder and the whole machine, the actual construction period of the first phase of the wind farm took less than 6 months.
After being connected to the grid for power generation, the Jiagu Desert development team was very excited, and finally used clean and quiet green energy, and did not have to listen to the "booming" diesel generator.
When Xue Tao heard this, his eyes froze: "Is the power generation so high?"
The annual power generation capacity reaches 150 million kWh, which is equivalent to saving about 50,000 tons of standard coal, reducing about 00,600 tons of soot and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by about 150,000 tons every year!
Don't look at him as the chief engineer, he has a very detailed understanding of wind power generation before he came. If he understands correctly, this data means that the wind resource endowment of Jiagu Wind Farm is high and the degree of utilization is sufficient, which is absolutely beyond the expectations of the reservoir engineering demonstration team.
Wei Ming took them to the central control room of the wind farm and showed them a set of interesting data: "According to the measurement data of the wind farm builder and the performance of the wind farm since it was put into operation, we expect that the average annual equivalent utilization hours of the wind farm will exceed 7,000 hours, and the utilization rate of the units will be above 99%......"
Xue Tao's eyes widened slightly, I really want to say, are you kidding?
Let's put it this way, according to the authoritative statistics of the Energy Bureau, the average utilization hours of wind power in China are only 1,742 hours. I have heard that the average annual utilization hours of wind farms in the Sanbei area have reached 4,000 hours, which seems to be a legend.
But now, 7,000 hours is unbelievable?
This data is so eye-catching!
The experts present couldn't believe their ears, but after looking at the relevant operational data, they had to admit that it seems, probably, this can really reach this data?
What is certain is that the utilization hours of the wind farm developed in the future, let alone surpassing the Kagu wind farm, will be extremely difficult to even get close.
This also completely aroused Xue Tao's strong interest: "How did Jiagu do it?"
Wei Ming, who has assisted in the construction of wind farms, smiled slightly: "High-quality wind resource endowment, scientific wind measurement and site selection, excellent equipment selection, and fine intelligent operation and maintenance...... It has achieved the king style of this wind farm!"
If Qi Zheng is here, he will silently add a sentence in his heart, and I will add someone Qi's "wind control" operation!
But Xue Tao laughed: "Well said! I think, this is the veritable king of wind turbines!"
He walked out of the central control room and looked into the distance, only to see big windmills occupying the high ground everywhere, telling the story of green dreams in the desert. A close-up view of the wind turbine tower, which is about 70 meters high and has blades about 40 meters long, rotates whirringly, continuously transmitting green electricity to the grid.
Jiagu will continue to expand the wind farm, which will surely contribute to the construction of the "Two Desert Reservoirs". As a chief engineer, there is nothing more satisfying for him to be able to solve the energy problem in a big way.
