Chapter 1647 Supercritical Units
China's power expansion, in the vast majority of countries, is crazy, which will produce a huge waste, when there is no way to use the complete amount of electricity, these power plants may just be a decoration, if the production is even more terrible, small-scale electricity, can also be through some charging stations for peak staggering and storage, but large-scale electricity can not be used, will accumulate, accumulate to a certain extent, when the grid can not bear such accumulation, is the final outbreak of the moment.

Electricity has its powerful effect, can promote the gradual increase of productivity, most of the machines, through the electrification of the transformation, the production efficiency and function will be greatly improved, but such a powerful function, if it cannot be used, it will be in big trouble.
When China's installed capacity did not exceed 3,000, large-scale power plants began to be built, and power plant groups directly increased China's installed capacity by more than 10,000 times.
The second industrial revolution, relative to the first industrial revolution, is more in-depth, and the level of productivity improvement is also higher The first industrial revolution, but relative to the feudal society of the old era, Britain also spent more than a hundred years, which stabilized the strong productive forces, in the initial stage of the steam engine, for the improvement of productivity, it is not as terrible as imagined, the gap between industrial countries and non-industrial countries, is not as big as imagined, examples of non-industrial countries defeating industrial countries, abound,
However, in the era of the electrification revolution, without a solid and complete industrial base, non-industrial countries, or countries that have not completed the industrial revolution, and most of the countries that need to import, are basically impossible to win the battle against the industrial countries, which is determined by the difference in scientific and technological content and productivity between the two sides.
In the era of the electrical revolution, industrial development is really terrible, because of the immediate intervention in this field, the two backward countries, the United States and Germany, the development is quite fast, the United Kingdom is an old industrial country, most of their industrial products can still be used, machine tools and machines are the same, capital is the pursuit of maximum value, even if electricity may have a huge effect, they generally will not give up what they are making money, unless the speed of making money, they can not bear it.
However, the United States and Germany, without this consequence, only during the first industrial revolution, they were through the electric revolution, and then overtook Germany, first replaced Britain, became the first in Europe and the first in the world, and then the United States surpassed Britain and Germany, and the convenience and productivity brought by electricity profoundly changed the whole world.
Yang Yuanzhao is aware of this, even in the future, the use of electricity is still irreplaceable, many in today's world, some unimaginable changes, from the present sprout, to the future generations to change the world, Yang Yuanzhao to do, is just to make this change, to make this change more thorough, not only to meet the needs of the whole China, continue to expand the demand for electricity, but also to achieve the purpose of environmental monitoring and comprehensive management.
It seems crazy, but in fact it was carefully thought out that the expansion was later confirmed to be the most suitable for the current situation of China from 1910 to 1916, the increase in installed capacity of tens of thousands of times, not only did not cause too much waste, but was absorbed by China's huge machinery manufacturing capacity and electrical energy consumption, and even in 1914, with the intensification of the European war, China's outward orders were more and more, and there was even a shortage of electricity.
At this point, I have to say that the role of Truss, there is a master in the field of alternating current like Truss, even if he is not allowed to get involved in the military field, just in the civilian, especially the improvement of electricity, it is enough to make China's strength greatly increased, in this era, electricity has become an important indicator, although it is not as good as steel, which directly represents the strength of a country's military and other aspects of the data, but the power generation degree is also one of the indicators to measure whether a country is strong.
According to the current rules, the larger the installed capacity, the lower the cost relatively speaking, after large-scale power generation, the efficiency is much higher than that of separate power generation, but the efficiency is not high, so in this era, when the generator is established to a certain extent, it will stop, because there is no need to generate so much electricity, it is really too much, it cannot be used, and this investment is equivalent to wasting in vainEvery centralized country has a certain long-term prediction, and then it will follow the steps, how can there be a stormy construction like China.
China has embarked on a completely different path from foreign countries, not only gradually expanding the scale, the installed capacity is getting larger and larger, but also moving towards a deeper level, most of the foreign countries are still on how to expand the power generation set to reduce the price of electricity, China has begun to move towards energy conservation, how to use the smallest coal, send out a kilowatt-hour of electricity has become the dominant.
This involves the comprehensive utilization of coal, how to burn coal completely, at the beginning, the vast majority of the world's power generation countries, are grasped the role of scale, but to that scale, how to reduce, even the economizer, this is the simplest, the coal combustion can not generate electricity in the end of the heat recovery, or turn back to the energy pool, or into hot water, supply to the civil side of this aspect did not think, China has directly started the unit itself, looking for some kind of large-scale combustion and increase power generation range.
Critical, supercritical, ultra-supercritical, this represents the state of the power generation boiler, in this state, the combustion of coal is the fullest, but also brings more energy, with this professionalism, not to mention that Yang Yuanzhao is a fleet engineer, even if he is really an engineer of the power plant, he only knows a rough idea, China in the later generations, only solved part of the critical state, supercritical and ultra-supercritical, just in research, and not really put into use, only the top scientists in this industry can know.
However, thanks to the era of information development in later generations, a lot of things, as long as you have heard of it, you can, no matter how you say, it is also the top power generation theory in later generations, he is just the same as a story, he heard the theory in later generations, told Truss, said that this unintentional listener has a heart, Truss himself is a legendary scientist, many of his discoveries and theories, directly affected the 20th century, even at the beginning of the 20th century, all aspects of the theory did not have a sound moment, as long as there is a correct theory, Among the alternating current and power generation industries that she is most familiar with, Truss has really walked out of the way.
Yang Yuanzhao also didn't expect that Truss would be able to get this technology out, because it was after the eighties and nineties of the 20th century, the whole world had a breakthrough under the development of materials and energy to a certain level.
After Truss studied it diligently, he really got out of the critical state in one fell swoop, of course, thanks to the anti-heaven effect of the all-in-one machine, among the materials synthesized by Yang Yuanzhao through the all-in-one machine, a large part of them are not produced by China's production capacity, and can only be synthesized through the all-in-one machine.
These things, or chips, small in size, big in effect, or machine tool turning, have a far-reaching impact on the entire machining field, like Truss, masters like Truss, to do more in-depth research of materials, in general, are provided by Yang Yuanzhao, and only he can get these extraordinary materials, sufficient materials and experimental materials, giving countless inspiration to the masters, but also creating brilliant scientific and technological achievements.
It is under this premise that the supercritical state has been figured out, and even through 12 experiments, Truss has determined the specific value of the critical state through the necessity of chance, and put forward a series of illusions.
I have to say that Truss is really a master of electricity, he not only created alternating current, which is more superior than direct current, but also with the support and inspiration of Yang Yuanzhao, he came up with such an important indicator, the critical state is one of the important theories related to power generation, as long as this state is clear, the revolution of electricity is not far away.
In fact, it is really the case, before figuring out the critical point, all the research is very slow, often a long-term accumulation, and can not produce the slightest effect, but once this aspect has been broken through, with this basic indicator, the next quasi-critical, supercritical, or even ultra-supercritical, is only a matter of time, the basic concept is smooth, and the rest is only a matter of process and materials, which do not even need Truss's attention, only use crowd tactics, It would be good to keep choosing the right process and have a more basic foundation, because the road ahead is smooth.
After the critical state was determined, after knowing the basic theory of the critical state, it took only 3 months to get out the quasi-critical unit, such a unit with an installed capacity of only 300,000 units, not as efficient as China's largest generator set for power generation, but this unit represents another height, so that the unit of electricity coal consumption is greatly reduced, at least more than 150 grams.
You know, China's thermal coal consumption is still quite low, in other countries in the world, still 1000 grams, or even higher, China has long been reduced to below 650 grams, and before the critical unit, reached 550 grams, in the absence of critical and supercritical state, such an amount is already quite powerful, 550 grams is already a certain height, even the former Truss, in the absence of other theoretical support, is only 5 grams and 10 grams so slowly, Moreover, this rate is still a quarter for a symptom, and it is expected that in 3 years, it is possible to reduce coal consumption to less than 500 grams.
It looks inconspicuous, but China's power generation is more than 30 billion kilowatt-hours, and even in 1914, there has been a huge increase, in this case, the reduction of one gram of electricity generation means a reduction of 30 billion grams, which is a reduction of 30,000 tons of coal, four quarters a year, about 30 grams, that is, close to one million tons.
Anything, no matter how cheap it is, when this number goes up to the level of one million tons, it is already quite considerable, 150 grams at once, in terms of power generation in 1915, more than 5 million tons, even in China, under the premise of extremely rich coal resources, this is not a small number, let alone a certain increase in the future.
Coal consumption per unit of electricity, to 500 below, is already an extremely extreme state, continue to reduce, will reduce the consumption of electricity a lot, coal consumption as one of the main costs of electricity, the constraints on electricity prices are also huge, when the stability of a little 400 can be, on behalf of China's electricity gradually to cheap, China's power generation cost is greatly reduced, and therefore, all electricity-related industries have different degrees of income, especially the electrolytic aluminum industry, when the electricity price is reduced by 50%, The cost of the aluminum he produces has dropped considerably.
However, the quasi-critical is just a basis, after the quasi-critical, the researchers made persistent efforts, in the middle of 1915 to make a real more than the critical unit, this unit on the original basis, and a certain amount of reduction, although the number is only thirty or fifty grams, but this is more amazing than the previous 150 grams.
To 400 grams, there can be no huge improvement, thirty or fifty grams is already quite large, if 400 grams is equivalent to one-third of 1.2 kilograms abroad, 300 grams is a quarter, even if it is 350 grams, it is only a small part of the mainstream price, and electricity-related industries, under the premise of the same efficiency, China's cost is much lower than them, not to mention different processing efficiency.
The use of supercritical state, coupled with the strength of Truss, the consumption of thermal coal per kilowatt-hour has reached about 360 grams, which is extremely cheap, you know, China itself is the country with the largest coal production, because of the huge number, especially some open-pit coal mines, these coal may be used as ship coal, the calorific value is insufficient, but the coal consumption for power generation can be, and the coal consumption of power generation per kilowatt-hour alone is only about one-third of that of other countries, and the price of electricity has been greatly reduced.
Take aluminum as an example, the price of this raw material, subject to the price of electricity, the higher the electricity cost, the higher the price of aluminum, on the contrary, the lower the electricity cost, the lower the price of aluminum, taking the heavy strategic bomber as an example, the overall fuselage material, more than 50% are aluminum, an aircraft uses nearly 10 tons of aluminum, when the price of aluminum is greatly reduced, the price of all aspects is also reduced, which is one of the biggest costs of strategic bombers.
