Chapter 227 Thermoelectric Power Generation

Zhou Yu observed the situation in the underground space of Well No. 8 and Well No. 31.

The magma fills the underground space, and after the upwelling, the heat is quickly dissipated, and the temperature of the magma slowly drops.

He was amazed: "As we expected, the heat was quickly dissipated, the metal pipes were not melted, and the two wells still acted as heat conductors."

When the magma is completely cooled and the solid waste that flows down from the magma cooling inside is removed, the drilling can be officially used. ”

Wang Dashan, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, said excitedly: "Let's look at the temperature difference generator set, if the total power of the temperature difference generator set can really be as high as Mr. Zhou Yu said, it can really change China's energy environment."

Zhou Yu nodded and agreed with Director Wang Dashan, who is the deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission in charge of energy.

Jia Yun saw that Wang Dashan was excited to go to the geothermal energy base, and he immediately said euphemistically: "Director Wang, the channel is connected to the mantle layer, and in addition to some magma coming up, there are also toxic and harmful gases such as sulfur vapor and sulfur dioxide gas.

The underground space of drilling cannot be passed by humans, we can only observe it from the perspective of intelligent industrial robots, and we can observe it anywhere. ”

Wang Dashan smiled awkwardly, nodded and said: "This is common sense, I actually forgot it, where volcanoes occur frequently, they are all places with abundant sulfur production."

They sit back in place and look at the thermoelectric generator through the eyes of an intelligent industrial robot.

In the safe underground space of the mine, the top of the arm-thick metal pipe is filled with holes.

The rod made of polypropylene, a semiconductor material for thermoelectric power generation, is directly embedded in the polysilicon styrene material and absorbs the heat transferred back from the material.

The top 5-meter-long metal tube has 100 thermothermal power generation materials, and the low-temperature end of the thermothermal power generation material is connected to the water cooling system.

The thermoelectric power generation material only occupies a small volume of the thermoelectric generator, and the entire volume of the thermoelectric generator occupies most of the underground space.

Its main structure is the rectifier and water cooling system.

Due to the temperature difference between the 100 polypropylene materials, the high-energy electrons produced by the 100 polypropylene materials must be collected together by special instruments to form usable electrical energy.

The 100 polypropylene materials are arranged on the polysilicone styrene material from bottom to top, with the lowest one producing the largest temperature difference and the top one producing the smallest temperature difference.

Depending on the temperature difference, the energy contained in the electron flow generated by the temperature difference power generation material is also different.

The rectifier is to integrate these different electron flows into electrical energy, and then send the electrical energy out of the thermoelectric generator.

In order to prevent the accumulation of temperature at the end of the material due to the temperature difference, the heat inside the metal tube cannot be exported.

An efficient water cooling system is also arranged at the end of the temperature difference material.

The current coming out of the thermoelectric generator is 500 volts and 100 amperes, and the power of each thermoelectric generator is 50,000 kilowatts.

The geothermal energy base has 45 thermoelectric generators operating normally, with a total power of 2.25 million kilowatts.

The low-voltage ultra-high current of 500 volts and 100 amperes, if it is not through the superconducting wire, the conventional cable can not withstand it at all, and the cable can be melted by heating.

The current generated by the thermoelectric generator is direct current, which cannot be directly connected to the national grid.

It must be converted into 10 thousand volt three-phase electricity from the backbone grid through the transformer conversion in the geothermal energy base, and transmitted to various places through superconducting cables.

The backbone network of the State Grid has replaced superconducting cables, but the 1.1 million kilovolt ultra-high voltage transmission line has been abandoned, and the common 10 kilovolt voltage is still maintained.

This is mainly because of the huge stock of terminal transformers, which generally convert 10 thousand volt voltage into industrial three-phase electricity and transmit it to factories and thousands of households.

Wang Dashan saw that the geothermal energy base counted that the total power generation power was better than expected.

He said excitedly: "Geothermal energy has really changed the current energy pattern in China, and a geothermal energy base is comparable to a large hydropower station."

The total power generation power of Gezhouba Hydropower Station is only 2.72 million kilowatts, and the total power generation power of your geothermal energy base has reached 2.25 million kilowatts. ”

Wang Dashan is extremely excited, as long as there is a geothermal energy base, a geothermal energy base can be established next to every mega city.

While they were excited, the employees of the State Grid Control Center were busy urgently.

"Report to the general manager, up to 2.25 million kilowatts of medium-power power power stations are connected to the grid, and now the grid is under great pressure, and the peak regulation is requested immediately."

Mi Qishan, general manager of the State Grid Control Center, directly ordered: "What else is this kind of emergency? Immediate peak shaving. ”

State Grid technicians began to carry out power peak shaving.

The State Grid has a special power peak regulation agency, and in the trough of electricity consumption, they carry out peak regulation by charging batteries and supplying power to high-energy-consuming enterprises.

The batteries that have been eliminated from electric vehicles are generally used here, and electric vehicles cannot be used, but this kind of battery can still store a lot of power.

The stored power of hundreds of millions of batteries is pooled together to store a huge amount of power.

It can also release electricity during peak demand to supplement the power grid.

Seeing that the power grid had stabilized, Mickey Mountain asked in surprise: "How can there be such a huge power station connected to the grid, this is not planned!"

This is the scale of a large hydropower station, and the grid-connected power station is located in the Xiong'an New Area, where there are no conditions to build a large hydropower station. ”

The technician immediately reported: "General manager, the National Development and Reform Commission has greeted us, and the national experiment of geothermal energy power generation is expected to have 2 million kilowatts of power units connected to the grid."

We have also set aside 2 million kilowatts of power to connect to the grid, and if we are not prepared today, it will be troublesome. ”

Mitch Hill smiled, he knew what it meant to put a geothermal energy base that could generate such a huge amount of energy into operation on a large scale.

In the foreseeable future, the national grid will completely replace fossil energy and become the only energy hub.

When Wang Dashan learned about the situation at the geothermal energy base, he immediately returned to the NDRC and reported the situation to the decision-makers.

When the decision-makers saw this information, they were shocked, and they did not expect that the development of geothermal energy would have such an efficient energy conversion rate.

They immediately decided to vigorously develop geothermal energy, support the development of the power industry, and no longer restrict energy-intensive industries.

The meeting finally decided to upgrade electricity to the most important energy source in the industry, and introduced many policies to ensure the development of the power industry.

The decision-makers know that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and the geothermal energy development technology has appeared in China, and they must grasp the advantages brought by this technology to expand the competitiveness of Huaxia in the early stage of this technology.

Huaxia is like a huge ship, and the temperature difference power generation technology is like an engine.

It pushed the steamer Huaxia to speed up into the distance.
