In
the past decade, China electric
power industry has witnessed an
unprecedented development. Since
the national installed generating
capacity leaped onto the step of
100 GW in 1987, through only
several years of arduous work, it
topped 200 GW. As of the end of
1996, both the national installed
capacity and electricity
generation leaped to second place
in the world. The several-year
long acute shortage of electricity
throughout the country has been
gradually alleviated. Especially,
it is worth mentioning, beginning
from 1988, the yearly newly-added
large and medium size generating
units have exceeded 10 GW
consecutively for ten years. By
the end of 1997, the total
national installed capacity
reached 254.24 GW with a yearly
electricity generation of 1134.2
TWh. Beginning from 1993, the
annual electricity generation has
been growing at an average growth
rate of 6.2%, basically satisfying
the demand of national economy
development for power.
The
overall technical equipment level
of power industry has been
steadily raised with the technical
economic indexes unceasingly
improved. Along with the
enlargement of power networks
scale, the single generating unit
size has increased
correspondingly, 200 MW, 300 MW
and above fossil-fired units have
become main power sources. With
the successive commissioning of
large size pumped storage
hydropower stations and nuclear
power plants, wind power
generation, solar energy
generation, geothermal power
generation and ocean energy
generation have begun to construct
in the recent years, preliminarily
shaping up a new pattern of power
sources structure with
mutual-supplementary development
of multi-energy. The
science-technology advancement of
electric power has seen remarkable
achievement too. The operation and
dispatching of power networks has
entered new era of automation and
modernization. Over the past five
years from 1993 to 1997, the net
coal consumption of thermal power
dropped by 10 gce/kWh. |
