In the gullies of the Loess Plateau, there is no longer only the echo of Xin Tianyou. When black coal and transparent electricity complete energy conversion here, a silent revolution about light and fire has begun. Yan'an is tearing down a single energy label and using ultra-high voltage silver wire to spread the green modern energy map to the distance.

Focus on local industrial upgrading practices

The "New Vision of Industry Towards the Future in the 15th Five Year Plan" focuses on the vivid practice of cultivating emerging industries, laying out cutting-edge tracks, and transforming and upgrading traditional industries in various provinces and cities in China. Focusing on Yan'an, Shaanxi, relying on its unique energy resource advantages, the local area empowers the green and intelligent transformation of the coal-fired power industry through technological innovation, fully promotes the construction of a modern energy economy demonstration zone, and comprehensively showcases the development of the energy industry transformation and upgrading in the revolutionary old areas.

Ultra high voltage opens up the power transmission channel

The alternating current produced by conventional power plants cannot be directly transmitted across provinces and long distances. It needs to be converted into direct current through converter stations and connected to the main network of ultra-high voltage direct current transmission. As the core hub of Shaanxi Electric Power's Anhui Ultra High Voltage Project, Baota Mountain Converter Station can transmit over 36 billion kilowatt hours of electricity to Anhui Province annually, with wind power, photovoltaic and other clean energy sources accounting for more than half of the electricity generation. The scale of green power transmission is outstanding. Keywords: Yan'an, energy transformation, ultra-high voltage

Yan'an is simultaneously promoting the green and intelligent transformation of coal-fired power plants and the construction of cross provincial power transmission networks, steadily advancing the construction of modern energy economic demonstration zones. According to the development plan, by the end of the 15th Five Year Plan period, the total power generation of clean coal-fired power and new energy in the local area will exceed 100 billion kilowatt hours, and the scale of the green energy industry will continue to expand.Editor/Gong Ziwei
