China's Electric Power Construction Creates a Miracle of World Energy Construction History

On January 8, the 2011 China Energy Economic Forum and the Top 500 of the China Energy Group and the Top 100 Conference of the China New Energy Industry Park were held in Beijing. Zhang Guobao, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission and director of the National Energy Administration, stated at the forum that China’s power construction Created a miracle in the history of world energy construction.

Zhang Guobao said that the energy issue in China, like food, is a major issue in people's livelihood and is an essential part of everyday life. During the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” period, the installed capacity of new power generation exceeded 430 million kilowatts. By the end of 2010, the total installed capacity in the country reached 950 million kilowatts, setting a new record for world power construction and ranking second in the world. Of the 950 million people, 4.3 is what they will do during the five years, and the rest will be dried up in the first 50 years.

When talking about hydroelectricity, Zhang Guobao pointed out that in 1910, China began to have hydroelectric power. By the end of 2010, marked by the commissioning of the Yunnan Xiaowan Power Station, China’s hydropower reached 200 million kilowatts. Of the 90 million kilowatts that were dried during the five years, 110 million were dried in the first 95 years. Can this speed find the second in the world? Can't find it.

In the early 1980s, the highest level of machines installed in China was 200,000 kilowatts. Now, 300,000 power generation equipments are all small, which are 600,000 or even millions. From the general parameters of the past to the subcritical ones, they later reached the critical point, reached the supercritical level, and later reached ultra-supercritical and supercritical temperatures. Now, the temperature can reach 600 degrees, and the pressure is getting bigger and bigger. This ultra-supercritical, at that time, consumes more than 400 grams of coal per kWh, and now it consumes only 270 grams of electricity per kilowatt-hour. For every gram of coal reduced, the country must save more than 3 million tons of coal.
