扬州经济开发区：焕新升级，“煤电老兵”变身“绿电调节师”

Core Viewpoint - The transition of traditional coal power to a greener model is essential as wind and solar energy become the main sources of electricity supply. Jiangsu Guoxin Yangzhou Power Co., Ltd. has initiated a technical upgrade project to enhance the flexibility of coal power generation, enabling it to better support the integration of renewable energy sources [1][2]. Group 1: Technical Upgrade and Implementation - The company has implemented a deep peak-shaving technology upgrade, achieving a 15% deep peak-shaving capability, which allows older units to maintain stable low-load supply [1]. - The upgrade project has completed the installation of main pipelines, with ongoing work on valves, platforms, and various debugging processes [1]. - The flexibility enhancement of coal power units is crucial for ensuring the stability and safety of the power grid as renewable energy installations increase [1]. Group 2: Operational Improvements - Previously, the deep peak-shaving capability of the units was at 30%, which was insufficient for meeting user demand, prompting the need for technical upgrades [2]. - The upgraded system will maintain stable, environmentally friendly, and energy-efficient operations even under low-load conditions, with the introduction of a coordinated optimization control system [2]. - Future optimization efforts will focus on improving steam tier utilization, enhancing the safety, environmental performance, and economic efficiency of the units [2].
