National Grid promotes green development

“The State Grid Corporation of China is accelerating the construction of a strong smart grid and creating a green platform for energy allocation as a focal point for advancing green development, and aggregating the green development potential of the power industry and the entire society. It is expected that the accumulated emission reduction of carbon dioxide will be 10.5 billion tons in the next decade. The data disclosed in the "White Paper on Green Development of the State Grid Corporation of China" published on April 19 (hereinafter referred to as the "White Paper") shows that the State Grid Corporation of China expects to build a strong smart grid by 2020, and will fully enhance its ability to absorb clean energy and help power. The system will increase energy efficiency, actively promote energy saving in the power equipment industry and society, and accelerate the development of electric vehicles. By 2020, it will reduce carbon emissions by 1.65 billion tons compared to 2005, which will reduce the carbon emission intensity per unit of GDP by 40% to 45% in China in 2020. The contribution of the goal exceeds 20%.

It is understood that this is the first white paper on green development issued by Chinese companies. It conveys to the government and the public the sound voice of the State Grid Corporation of China in advancing green development, and puts forward the basic paradigm for social model-type enterprises to promote their own, industry, and social green development. Peng Huagang, director of the SASAC Research Bureau, who attended the White Paper press conference fully affirmed this.

The "White Paper" pointed out that at present, China's development is facing severe challenges such as the unsustainable supply of traditional energy resources, lack of environmental carrying capacity, and climate change, and the mode of economic development urgently requires a green transformation. Building a strong smart grid as a green platform for energy allocation is a strategic fulcrum to meet challenges and promote the green transformation of China's development mode. It can speed up the adjustment of energy supply structure, vigorously develop clean energy, and make full use of transmission as a road, railway, waterway, aviation and pipeline. The powerful function of the "sixth mode of transport" after transportation is to build a national energy comprehensive transport system that "transmits coal and transmits electricity at the same time"; to provide "energy saving" other than the four main sources of energy: petroleum, coal, hydropower, and nuclear energy." "The fifth type of energy"; at the same time effectively control environmental pollution and promote greenhouse gas emission reductions.

The White Paper system proposes a green development strategy for the State Grid Corporation of China. First of all, it has taken the lead in putting forward the explicit meaning of “green development” among domestic enterprises. It is pointed out that green development is a sustainable development path that achieves sustainable use of energy resources and environmental friendly production and living, responds to climate change, and promotes ecological civilization. It aims to pursue the sustainable development of society and the environment, featuring low consumption, low emissions, low pollution, or no pollution in production and life, and centering on the realization of people's all-round development. Secondly, we proposed the basic paradigm of promoting self-development, industry, and social green development, actively promoted its own green development, built a green platform, and implemented green production; actively promoted the green development of the industry and jointly built green industries; actively promoted social green development and promoted green civilization .

The "White Paper" system elaborates the powerful function of a strong smart grid as a green platform for energy deployment. The strong smart grid is based on the UHV grid as the backbone grid and the strong grid with coordinated development of all levels of grids. It is supported by the communication information platform and is characterized by information, automation, and interaction, including power generation, transmission, and transformation of the power system. A robust and reliable, cost-effective, clean, environmentally friendly, transparent, friendly, and interactive modern power grid for electricity, power distribution, electricity, and dispatch, covering the “Three China” grid (North China-Central China-East China), Northwest Grid, and Northeast Power Grid, and through the UHV DC interconnected with the Southern Power Grid. Accelerating the development of a strong smart grid is the strategic focus of the State Grid for green development. It can promote the large-scale and intensive development of clean energy, promote the clean and effective use of coal resources, promote the efficient and economical use of electricity resources, and respond to the dual challenges of ecological environment and climate change.

The White Paper more fully presents the specific actions taken by the State Grid Corporation of China in promoting green development. Based on the national conditions and the actual situation of power grid companies, State Grid Corporation deployed and implemented a green development strategy, continued to improve the overall green management of the whole process coverage, all-round integration, and full participation; and further advanced the research of key technologies of the smart grid, and started the construction of smart electricity technology research and testing. Center, smart grid construction started in an all-round way; UHV power grid development continued to achieve breakthroughs, and the first anniversary of the successful operation of the Jindongnan-Nanyang-Jingmen 1000-kilovolt UHV AC pilot demonstration project was completed. In 2009, the completion of the South-to-North-fire mutual-fire power was 8.863 billion kilowatts. At the time, the Sichuan Xiangjiaba-Shanghai Fengxian ±800kv UHVDC transmission demonstration project will be fully charged. It will transport large-scale southwest clean hydropower to the eastern load center and supply green power for the Shanghai World Expo.

According to the study, to meet the national requirement for non-fossil energy to account for 15% of total primary energy consumption by 2020, the installed capacity of clean energy power generation should reach 4.9 to 570 million kilowatts, which will account for 32 to 35 of the total installed power. %about. According to the White Paper, the national conditions, resource endowments, technical characteristics, and economy determine that a strong smart grid is the only way to realize the large-scale development, long-distance delivery, and wide-range consumption of clean energy. According to the data disclosed in the White Paper, within the operating area of ​​the State Grid Corporation, by accelerating the construction of a strong smart grid, 411 million kilowatts of clean energy can be consumed by 2020, an increase of 320 million kilowatts over 2005, equivalent to a reduction of carbon dioxide emissions by 1 billion yuan. Ton. Studies have shown that, in 2020, the cross-regional power transmission method can improve the power grid consumption of wind power capacity by more than twice that of the provincial network.

The leaders of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, the Ministry of Environmental Protection, and the Development Research Center of the State Council attended the press conference. Power industry representatives from Jinshajiang Hydropower Base, Ningdong Coal Power Base, Gansu Wind Power Base, and Xidian Group, and representatives of central companies from PetroChina, China Mobile, and Sinosteel Group, built a strong smart grid for the State Grid Corporation of China to create energy The development of a green platform, promotion of the development of large-scale energy bases, giving full play to the driving force of the industry, and expressing the appreciation of the strategic measures of building a green power production chain, power consumption chain, and power equipment chain. Many experts from the fields of energy, environmental protection, and climate were also invited to attend the press conference.
