[Qinghai opened a new mode of one-stop grid-connected services for new energy]On April 8, the State Grid Qinghai Power Company announced that their independently developed new energy and electrochemical energy storage full process grid-connected management system has been officially put into operation. This system marks the opening of a new era of one-stop grid-connected services for new energy, and will provide solid technical support for Qinghai to build a national clean energy industry highland. It is reported that the development of the system began in November 2023, and the functional test of the system was completed by the end of February 2024, and it was successfully launched in March. The system is born under the background of abundant energy resources and rapid development of new energy in Qinghai. By the end of March, the total installed power capacity of Qinghai Province reached 55.68 million kilowatts, of which the installed capacity of new energy accounted for 38.79 million kilowatts, accounting for 69.67%. At the same time, the new energy generation accounted for 51.29% of the total power generation, indicating the important position of new energy in Qinghai's energy structure. Zhang Zhen, deputy director of the hydropower and new Energy Department of the Qinghai Power Regulation Center of the State Grid, said that the online operation of the new system will greatly reduce the management and compliance pressure brought by large-scale network connection of new energy and energy storage projects. All newly accepted new energy grid-connected projects will be handled online to achieve the service goals of "not running once" and "One Netcom Office". The project owner only needs to log in to the system and input relevant information to start the grid connection work, which greatly reduces the link of offline submission of paper materials and circulation approval. This not only improves the efficiency of examination and approval, but also effectively avoids problems such as incomplete submission of data, unclear filling and loss of paper data. At present, through this system, Qinghai Power Grid has accepted a total capacity of 700 thousand kilowatts of new energy grid-connected projects. It is expected that within this year, nearly 15 million kilowatts of new energy will be added to the grid. The successful application of this system will further promote the development of Qinghai's new energy industry and help Qinghai build a national clean energy industry highland. Editor/Xu Shengpeng
Sri Lanka's largest rooftop photovoltaic power station successfully connected to the grid for power generation! The power station is constructed by Synogen company with an installed capacity of 6.4 megawatts and is located in a factory in Panara. The project is built according to international standards and equipped with an intelligent monitoring platform. It can generate millions of kilowatt hours of clean electricity annually, meeting most of the factory's daytime electricity needs. It not only reduces grid dependence and carbon emissions, but also injects new energy into Sri Lanka's export manufacturing industry's green transformation and energy security.Editor/Bian Wenjun
Heavy infrastructure! The expansion and renovation project of Taijiao Railway with a total investment of 2.7 billion yuan is about to start construction. The project involves 151.9 kilometers of railway lines in Shanxi and Henan provinces, including the renovation of 19 stations and yards. Core projects such as automatic block upgrade, extension of arrival and departure lines, and rectification of bridge and culvert diseases will be implemented. As a golden channel for Shanxi coal transportation, the completion of the project will significantly enhance freight capacity and safety, alleviate regional logistics bottlenecks, and inject strong momentum into the interconnection between Shanxi and Henan and the economic development along the route.Editor/Bian Wenjun
