Chapter 52: The Power Crisis

"What's going on with the special power supply department, why is there a power outage again, and it is said that the construction of this phase of resettlement housing will come out in March next year, how can I work if I have a power outage like this."

Ren Changle really can't help but power the people in the power department This is the 46th power outage this week, three days and two power outages, sometimes just a few minutes, sometimes even an hour, which makes him very embarrassed, with the arrival of immigrants, the housing problem of the Manchester City base has fallen into a tense state, and now more than 1,000 people are temporarily arranged in the quarantine station of the Ministry of Health, if it comes out, it can be imagined.

The power supply section under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry was formerly the wind farm that had crossed together, and with the efforts of the electrical repairman and an electrical engineer of the Hailan, some of the damaged parts caused by the crossing were repaired, and some replacements were finally supplied to the entire base in the second week after the crossing.

At that time, everyone boasted that the two were the bright angels of the entire Manchester City base, and it was because of them that everyone would not feel so scared in the dark night.

But as the power supply time is getting shorter and shorter every day, and there are power outages from time to time, people can't help but start complaining, scolding or something, in short, it's hard to hear, meaning that I am so tired from working all day that I finally want to turn on the computer and enjoy the movies that I downloaded to the computer before, so as to comfort my little lost heart, you specially give me a power outage.

In fact, this situation is not what Zhou Jun and Xiao Dongping think, the former is an engineer of a large power state-owned enterprise, and the latter is an electrical repairman on the Hailan.

Every time I hear someone complain about their power supply department, let alone how aggrieved I am, just like the little daughter-in-law has been wronged by her mother-in-law. They don't want to see this situation, but with the passage of time and the aging of the equipment, and many other factors, it is good to be able to supply power, and what else can you tell us to do.

This kind of problem was not particularly serious two months ago, although there were prescribed power supply times and power rationing loads every day, and power outages were not so frequent, but in recent January, this kind of problem has appeared so frequently that later the members of the executive committee had to ask Lin Youde at the meeting what was going on.

Lin Youde spread his hands, saying that the problem is trying to be solved, which belongs to the normal aging of the equipment, and every time he answers like this, until half a month ago, he and Zhou Jun jointly submitted a report on the service life of wind turbines, and everyone knew how serious the problem was.

According to the report, the wind turbine has been used for 10 years according to the manufacturing time on the nameplate, and some parts have reached the time of overall renewal, so the current situation will occur.

On top of that, some parts can't be made at all.

In short, the final meaning of the report is that wind turbines can be used for six months or eight months at most, and then they will be completely stopped. If that's the problem, then it's too big.

In addition to providing the necessary lighting, the power plant also needs to supply energy to some modified power equipment in the factories and mines during the day, and it is precisely because of these modified equipment that the Manchester City base can develop so quickly.

Now the problem in front of everyone is no longer whether there can be electric lighting at night and whether some machines can run without power supply, but the crossing must come up with a solvable solution before those equipment breaks.

A multi-departmental research team led by the Ministry of Industry was set up a week ago, with Mr. Huang and Mr. Lin becoming the main leaders of the group, and now the unanimous solution to the failure of wind power generation equipment is to build power plants to replace wind power.

Manchester City's proximity to the Swan River has the conditions to build a small power plant, and if it is possible, it should not be a big problem to dismantle some of the current wind power plant stabilizers.

Maybe for those laymen who don't understand, the problem seems to be not big, isn't the construction of a hydropower station to plug a dam on the river, and then install the turbine unit and other equipment, through the rotation of the turbine unit to drive the operation of related equipment to generate electricity.

But all kinds of professional problems involved here are not so easy to solve, that is, Lin Youde, the Minister of Industry, who is known as Wan Essential Oil, did not participate in the construction of the hydropower station before the crossing, but only saw some relevant information from the Internet.

The joint group discussed for several days and nights but failed to come up with a solution, you said that the construction of a small hydropower station is feasible, so good, you can talk about how to solve the problem of building the dam alone, the current manpower of the Manchester City base is less than 10,000 people, you have to build it until what year and month.

In the end, the discussion of the research group was not thinking about a solution to the problem at all, but directly became a venue for the two sides to debate with each other, and when you raised a question, the other side immediately raised a question.

Seeing this scene, Lin Youde and Huang Laoshi have no choice, and if this discussion continues, I am afraid that even if it is ten years, there will be no result.

After announcing the adjournment of the meeting, Lin Youde left Zhou Jun and Xiao Dongping behind.

"Zhou Gong, Xiao Gong, you two belong to the electric power, tell me your opinion, how much resistance is to build a hydropower station." Lin Youde, as the Minister of Industry, generally adds an I-word to the surname of every staff member below, regardless of whether he was an engineer or a maintenance worker before the crossing, which is regarded as a kind of respect for the other party.

"In fact, I have considered this problem, in the long run, the construction cost of small hydropower stations must be lower than that of thermal power generation, but at present, our manpower and technology in the river construction technology is still very large, from my personal point of view, it is still more inclined to thermal power, although the construction cost is large, but the construction site is on the ground after all, the difficulty is much smaller."

"Thermal power generation mainly relies on combustion to heat the boiler to turn the water in the boiler into steam, and after a heating, the water vapor enters the high-pressure cylinder. After high thermal efficiency, the water vapor should be reheated and the water vapor enters the medium pressure cylinder. By using the steam from the medium pressure cylinder to propel the turbine generator to generate electricity, although I have really participated in the construction, I have a basic understanding of this principle, and I know more about the process of hydroelectric power generation than hydroelectric power. ”

Huang Qishui sat aside and waited for Zhou Jun to finish speaking, and briefly explained the working principle of the thermal power station he understood.

After listening to the introduction of the two, Lin Youde's heart has basically determined whether to use the water power or firepower, "I think let's get the firepower, let's call Lao You to study it together, don't count on those people." ”
