American media: The new goal of pumping water storage in China is far beyond expectations

An article on June 15, Bloomberg, USA, the original title: China's grand pumping storage target may become larger and larger in China, the largest dam builder in China, saying that the country is launching a expected movement far exceeding the expected sports. To supplement renewable energy.

Ding Yanzhang, chairman of China Electric Power Construction Group Co., Ltd., recently wrote on the media that China will start construction of more than 200 pumping storage projects, with a target of 270 million kilowatts. This exceeds the total installed capacity of all power plants in Japan, and it will meet about 23%of the demand for the peak power consumption in China.

This is a significant increase in the goals proposed by China in the "Fourteenth Five -Year Five -Year" modern energy system plan 3 months ago. At that time The above, the capacity of the construction machine reaches about 60 million kilowatts.

Pumping technology has a history of more than 100 years. When the demand for electricity consumption is low, the water is transported from the lower reservoir to the upper reservoir through the power through the power. When the power generation needs to be generated, the gravity is allowed to bring the water to the mountain to generate electricity through the turbine. Water pumping power stations can be used with China's rapidly growing solar power plant and wind power generator.

Since last year, China has been focusing on the construction of large -scale pumping power stations. In August last year, a draft document of the National Energy Administration pointed out that the country may build 680 million kilowatts of pumping storage projects, and the possible construction target of construction by 2025 is 180 million kilowatts. The final version released in September last year has reduced the construction scale, but it still calls for the total scale of pumping storage to put into production by 120 million kilowatts by 2030. At the end of 2019, the global pumping storage power station installed reached 158 million kilowatts. (Translated by Chen Kang)
