my country's pumped storage power station has achieved "enter the market after it is put into production" for the first time
Recently, my country's pumped storage power station construction has ushered in a milestone breakthrough—The first pumped storage power station that has achieved "input as soon as it is put into the market" is officially put into operation. This innovative model marks a key step in the field of new energy consumption and market-oriented electricity reform, and has attracted widespread attention from the industry. The following is a review of hot topics on the entire network and a detailed analysis of events in the past 10 days.
1. Hot topic background and event overview
On August 15, State Grid announcedThe first unit of the second phase of the Fengning Pumped Storage Power Station in Hebei Province was put into production and entered the power spot market simultaneously., becoming the first pumped storage project in the country to "enter production and enter the market". By connecting with the market mechanism in advance, this model shortens the cycle from production to profitability of traditional power plants, providing a replicable market-oriented path for new energy supporting energy storage.
2. Core data and industry impact
| index | data | significance |
|---|---|---|
| Total installed capacity of Fengning Power Station | 3.6 million kilowatts | The world's largest pumped storage power station |
| Phase II project installation scale | 1.5 million kilowatts | Annual power generation can reach 2.38 billion kilowatt-hours |
| Trading electricity volume on the first day of entry | 126,000 kilowatt-hours | Average price is 0.78 yuan/kWh |
| National scale of pumped storage under construction | More than 120 million kilowatts | Account for more than 40% of the global scale |
3. Hot topics across the Internet
1.Policy support: The National Energy Administration recently issued the "Medium- and Long-term Development Plan for Pumped Storage (2021-2035)", which clearly stated that the total production scale will reach 62 million kilowatts by 2025. The practice of Fengning Power Station this time provides a model for the implementation of the policy.
2.Technical breakthrough: The power station uses domestic unit equipment, and the overall efficiency has been increased to 82.5%, which is 30% lower than the cost of imported equipment.
3.Economic Effect: According to calculations, this model can shorten the power plant investment recovery period from 15 years to less than 10 years, attracting social capital to participate.
4. Industry experts' opinions
The director of the Energy Storage Committee of the China Energy Research Association pointed out: "The 'input production and entering the market' model solves the pain point of 'construction but not using' pumped storage projects. In the future, it is necessary to further expand the scope of the spot market pilot." The Institute of Energy Internet of Tsinghua University suggested that the peak and valley electricity price mechanism should be improved to ensure reasonable returns to energy storage projects.
5. Future Outlook
With the advancement of the "dual carbon" goal, pumped storage will play a more important role in the new power system. It is estimated that by 2030, my country's installed capacity of pumped storage will exceed 180 million kilowatts, and the annual emission reduction of about 120 million tons of carbon dioxide will be reduced. The exploration of Fengning Power Station provides a "Chinese solution" for global large-scale energy storage development.
