Uhv plus energy storage investment

How does a UHV line work?

The UHV line also adopts advanced technologies to store energy for better use of power. An energy storage power station in the Gobi Desert was plugged into Qinghai's power grid in 2019. It can store power at the peak generating period and discharge power when the power load soars.

Which is the highest-altitude UHV direct current power transmission project in the world?

It is currently the highest-altitude UHV direct current power transmission project in the world. State Grid said the project will pass through four provincial regions: Tibet, Sichuan, Chongqing and Hubei. The Tongshan pumped-storage hydropower station will be equipped with four sets of power generators, each with a capacity of 350,000 kilowatts.

What is the difference between UHV and other power transmission systems?

Compared with other power transmission systems, the UHV transmission has a larger capacity, bigger range, lower losses and uses fewer land resources. Northwest China's Qinghai Province boasts rich clean energy resources.

What does UHV stand for?

After one year of operation, China's first ultra high-voltage (UHV) power superhighway for transmitting clean energy delivered 13.1 billion kWh of power from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to densely populated Henan in central China. Please use Chrome, Firefox, Safari or Edge to play the video

What is China's first UHV power transmission project?

As the world's first all-clean energy UHV power transmission project, the 800-kilovolt direct current transmission line became operational on July 15, 2020. It extends 1,563 km across four provinces. It is a pilot project aiding China's pursuit of attaining carbon dioxide emissions peak before 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality before 2060.

What is the Qinghai-Henan UHV project?

TECHNOLOGICAL BREAKTHROUGHS Stretching from the Hainan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in Qinghai all the way to the city of Zhumadian in Henan, the Qinghai-Henan UHV project overturned many technological bottlenecks that had plagued long-distance transmission of clean energy.
