Chapter 2550 Peak and Valley Energy Storage Power Station

As the time enters July, the entire Anxi is also shrouded in scorching heat. Although this has not yet set in, the meteorological department has issued high temperature warnings for several days in succession.

The entire city was like a furnace, and the municipal department also arranged for dozens of unmanned sprinkler trucks to start spraying water continuously to reduce the fever in the entire city.

The same is true for the entire Haoyu Science and Technology Park. Although it is close to Linghu Wetland Park and has a large wetland that can play a cooling role, it is still hot outside. The sprinkler system in the park is also working continuously. Even the water level of the artificial lake has dropped seriously due to evaporation due to the continuous high temperature of the sun, and it had to be replenished urgently.

Thanks to the company's water circulation temperature control system, the temperature in the office building is very suitable, only 24 degrees Celsius. And unlike the cold air from air conditioners, water circulation cooling can make the entire temperature extra gentle and pleasant.

Many times employees will put on a coat during breaks to prevent colds caused by low temperatures.

However, this situation did not last long, because the water level in the artificial lake was reduced due to the heat, and the continuous high temperature was also conducive to the dissipation of the temperature of the lake water. Therefore, the water temperature in the pipe is not low enough and can only be cooled down through the refrigeration system.

However, due to the persistent heat, electricity consumption in the entire Anxi region has soared, causing power supply shortages in the entire power system. In order to ensure the safety of electricity consumption for the people of Anxi, according to the arrangements agreed by the Anxi local government, all enterprises in Anxi will begin to limit power supply to ensure the normal conduct of people's lives.

Logically speaking, key enterprises like Haoyu Technology are also one of the key enterprises in Anxi Province. So even if there are power restrictions in other places, they will not limit power here.

However, Wu Hao didn't want to do this special thing, so he naturally started to limit power supply to the entire company campus together with everyone else. Except for necessary departments, such as Torch Building, Abyss, and other important institutional nodes to ensure their stable operation, other units have begun to limit power supply. For example, increase the indoor temperature and turn off unnecessary electrical appliances. Some departments also adopt the method of taking turns to take vacations to save electricity to the greatest extent.

Although the shortcomings this time are serious, fortunately there is local care. In addition, there is an emergency power supply system underground in the park, so these important departments and important equipment nodes of the company can operate stably at this stage.

In fact, the shortage of electricity mainly occurs during the peak period of electricity consumption, that is, during the day and at night. Basically, after 10 o'clock in the evening, electricity consumption will gradually decrease.

At this time, it is time for peak and valley energy storage power stations to show their talents. There are many types of peak-valley energy storage power stations, and three are currently in large-scale use.

One is what we often see on TV news, the water conservancy energy storage power station, which uses the principle of hydropower generation to store electrical energy.

To put it simply, it is to build a reservoir on the mountain. The reservoir is connected to two pipes, one is the inlet pipe for pumping water into the Wang Reservoir, and the other is the drainage pipe for the reservoir to discharge water down the mountain.

At one end of the pumping pipe that pumps water to the reservoir, a pumping station is built to pump water from the mountain reservoir or river to the mountain reservoir.

Build a hydropower station at the end of the drainage pipe that discharges water from the reservoir. In this way, when the reservoir drains water, the water energy will directly drive the turbine of the hydropower station to rotate, thereby driving the generator to generate electricity.

Usually when electricity consumption is low, that is, in some low periods of electricity consumption, such as spring and autumn, when the weather is more suitable, or in the early hours of the night, there is not much demand for domestic and industrial electricity. However, those power stations, especially hydropower stations, are still generating electricity, and the electricity generated is difficult to store, so it can only be wasted.

In addition to hydropower stations, there are also solar power stations, wind power stations, tidal power stations, etc. Their power generation is affected by natural conditions, and their power generation is inconsistent and unstable.

At this time, this kind of peak-valley energy storage hydropower station comes into play. It will use the excess electricity to pump water to and from the reservoir to store energy. Then during the day or during the peak period of electricity consumption, the reservoir will release the previously pumped water. This water will drive the generator to generate electricity, and then replenish the electricity into the power grid, thus increasing the power generation to meet the people's production needs. Daily needs.

The second type is the thermal energy storage power station. This kind of thermal energy storage power station actually works on the same principle as the hydro energy storage power station, both of which store energy and generate electricity. However, hydro energy storage power stations use water to store energy and generate electricity, while thermal energy storage power stations use stored heat to generate electricity.

Simply put, it uses electricity to heat some objects or media. These objects and media can be water, molten salt, or air. No matter which method is used, their power generation is the same, which is to heat hot water in a different way.

Just like those thermal power plants and nuclear power plants, thermal energy is used to boil water, and then the water vapor is used to blow a steam turbine, which drives a generator to generate electricity. The thermal energy storage power station is based on such a principle. However, compared with the hydro energy peak and valley energy storage power station, the thermal energy peak and valley energy storage power station is not so widely used. After all, the technology is difficult and the energy-to-electricity conversion is difficult. The rate is relatively low, and it is still being explored and not mature enough.

The third type is a large-scale battery peak and valley energy storage power station based on Haoyu Technology's super industrial solid-state battery technology.

Its principle is simpler, that is, it uses the battery to store excess power and then uses it when needed. The principle is simple and the energy-to-electricity conversion rate is high. But it has a big problem. At present, except for Haoyu Technology, few companies are carrying out such large-scale battery peak and valley energy storage power stations.

The biggest problem is the high cost. The price of batteries is too high, which makes it very cost-effective to build a large-scale battery peak and valley energy storage power station. In addition, these batteries have a long service life, so it is not worth it in comprehensive terms, so naturally no one does it.

The reason why Haoyu Technology dares to do it is naturally for super industrial solid-state battery technology. This super industrial solid-state battery technology reduces the manufacturing cost of large-scale industrial super solid-state batteries to an acceptable range. In addition, the manufacturing process of this kind of super industrial solid-state battery is relatively simple and suitable for large-scale production. The super industrial solid-state battery produced has a stable structure, is suitable for long-term use, and has a long life.

Even if these batteries reach the end of their life, they can be recycled and reused, so they are very economical and environmentally friendly. Therefore, thanks to this technology, Haoyu Technology has invested in the construction of multiple large-scale super battery peak and valley energy storage power stations.
