When it comes to the power industry, many people may not know how powerful our power in China is in the original history. Many people may still stay in the era of power transmission in the United States, which is the first in the world.
However, this point has been torn to pieces in the recent cold wave. In the history of American power, it is indeed the first in the world. After all, the first AC transmission network in the world is American. Until the millennium, American power technology is still the first in the world.
But there is one thing many people don't know. In fact, by the year 2000, the power technology in the United States was still eating the old capital of the 1970s.
In the 1970s, the United States completed the construction of a large-scale national power network. In the view of the American people, the remaining thing to do is to maintain the power network. Therefore, many power technology research and development have been shelved. Even if there are, it is also new energy power generation technologies such as nuclear power plants and solar power plants. For power transmission technology, The United States has not made any progress for 30 years.
The first reason why the power network of Texas in the United States has such a bad performance in this cold wave is that the power system in the United States is very aging.
Most of the power systems were built in the 1970s. After 50 years, all kinds of problems encountered during this period were only repaired. There has never been systematic line replacement or large-scale maintenance of infrastructure. As a result, the technology of power transmission is still the foundation of the 1970s, Even with more advanced UHV transmission technology, it can not be used because the power network does not support it at all.
Originally, the network could be repaired and used, but when the super cold wave blew, the whole power grid collapsed instantly, and many equipment collapsed directly... It can't be repaired in a day or two. The governor of Texas set himself a time of 60 days... It's also the time for relevant power companies to submit rectification reports. As for when it will be completely repaired, That's really an unknown number.
Of course, most local cities and factories should be able to restore power within a month, but some people in remote areas may not be able to restore power in 12 years.
Because for capital, these users will only pay tens of thousands of dollars in electricity bills every year, but it takes tens of millions of dollars to repair these power networks. This is definitely an uneconomical business. Free capitalists will never do such a stupid thing.
What, why did users in these remote areas get electricity in the 1970s?
That's because in the 1970s, the State Grid in the United States was still state-owned and a national enterprise. After the reform in the 1970s, the American government completely privatized the national power grid, sold these enterprises to private people to operate, and called it market-oriented competition can provide the best service.
Then now all power enterprises have become private enterprises, so they can do big news such as not maintaining the power grid on a large scale for 50 years and increasing the electricity price by 100 times in one day. You can't expect them to take the initiative to repair the power grid in remote areas.
In China, the power grid was choking before 2008. It was very normal to cut off power two or three times a month. At that time, one third of rural families had not been powered on, and every household needed to buy a voltage regulator. First connect the incoming line to the voltage regulator, and then connect the power supply of the whole house through the voltage regulator.
The reason for this is that at that time, the voltage in rural areas was very unstable. Sometimes the voltage was as high as more than ten times that under normal conditions. If there was no voltage regulator, it was very normal to change dozens of bulbs and five or six TVs a month. These appliances were burned out by the sudden surge of voltage.
After 2008, the domestic power transmission technology became more and more powerful. Later, the village to village action was carried out. Huaxia became the first country in the world to enable all families, even the most remote mountain villages, to have power.
Looking at the world, this is also a unique achievement. After all, 18% of the region and population in the white moonlight United States are not powered on.
However, these families generally buy generators. They usually generate electricity by themselves. The network is very painful and can't be satisfied.
This is also the real reason for Musk's star chain plan. You don't really think that the star chain plan is to compete for users with China Unicom!
Are you kidding? Normal people will not consider the ten times of the network fee of the star chain plan. The real goal of the star chain plan is actually ships on the sea and those families in the United States who do not have access to the network. These talents are the real users of the star chain plan, and only they will buy network services at ten times the price.
It's a little far. Let's get down to business. Anyway, domestic power technology is the absolute leading level in the world in 2020, and there are no competitors.
For example, all electric power majors around the world now add Chinese to their courses, and some units even collectively organize technicians to learn Chinese.
Because now the most advanced equipment in the world is made in China. The operating system, operating instructions and various professional works are all written in Chinese. If you don't learn Chinese, you don't even understand how to use the equipment, let alone the technology.
Ten years ago, it is estimated that no one could have imagined that China was the first to realize cultural export and forced talents in the whole industry to learn Chinese. It was the power industry, which was really science fiction!
In this lifetime, driven by boss Jia, the progress and development of the power industry have become more rapid. In order to cope with the power energy and power era described by Daqian, China's power industry has begun to transform ahead of schedule and began to move forward and develop towards the goal of No. 1 in the world. Therefore, the power industry is the industry that benefited the most from this change.
Of course, if there are beneficiaries, there will be serious losses. Among them, the most intense reaction is naturally the car enterprises all over China. The direct consequence of the hot sales of Shang · Tang is that the market of domestic traditional car enterprises began to collapse.
The sales volume of Shang · Tang is based on the corpse of traditional gasoline vehicles. Throughout 2001, the total sales volume of gasoline vehicles actually decreased by 20% compared with that in 2000, which is an incredible thing in China, where the automobile sales volume is increasing every year. All people in the automobile industry feel a breath of extinction.
Therefore, in early 2002, these auto enterprises gathered in magic city and started an emergency meeting at the China auto industry development forum!
