Chapter 458 New Smart Grid

It was originally planned to sell the electrical equipment of Kirin Electric Industry Group to the power grid company, but now it seems that the first batch of electrical equipment will be used by itself.

As a non-professional power grid company, it is not very cost-effective to establish a dedicated power transmission network, mainly because it needs to maintain a high staffing.

It’s good that there are no problems, but once there is a problem, someone needs to deal with it immediately, and power transmission and distribution are highly professional types of work, and the temporary staff really dare not use it casually.

Since there are not many dedicated transmission network lines, but the staffing must not be small, many employees will be idle at ordinary times.

Although he is very interested in increasing jobs, he is more interested in creating as much value as possible for each job. Of course, the premise is not to squeeze desperately, but during normal working hours.

So he thought carefully about the construction of the transmission network, and planned to solve the problem from three aspects, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing operating costs.

The first aspect is the intelligent grid. Although the construction cost of the intelligent grid is higher than that of the ordinary grid, the maintenance cost and stability are much stronger.

The exclusive power transmission network is mainly used for power distribution in industrial production, but if something happens, the loss will be huge, especially when the power source is still relatively single, the source of failure will have a wider impact.

Therefore, stability is the overriding primary goal. Even if the construction cost is high, we must try our best to achieve it. As for other goals, they are secondary.

Moreover, the smart grid is an important construction goal of the future power grid, and it is also the goal of the construction and upgrading of the power grid industry. Even if it does not have its own power transmission business, the technology in this area must be developed.

However, I didn't plan to launch a smart grid all at once before, because the cost is too high. Now it may not be sold out if it is made, and the sales market may not be very large.

It's different now, even if you don't sell smart grid equipment and systems to third parties, you still have to use them yourself. Anyway, for him, it only takes more than ten days.

The second aspect is the use of robots. The difficulty of power grid construction is high-altitude operations, which are not only dangerous but also extremely hard.

Many power grid construction personnel usually stay at high altitude for a whole day, because it takes a long time to climb up and down, and they are also very tired.

Although Ye Zishu has never actually seen the construction of high-altitude power transmission network, he has seen some in the videos of his previous life. At that time, he felt that it was too hard.

In addition to reducing the workload of the workers,

The use of robots can ensure 24/7 standby, and can carry out relevant operations according to the instructions of the intelligent system before the arrival of personnel.

Robots are mainly divided into two categories. One is the transmission network construction robot, which uses semi-automatic technology and cooperates with the staff to reduce the difficulty of power grid operations and increase the efficiency of power grid construction.

In fact, it is possible to make a fully automatic robot, but the current artificial intelligence has not yet reached the height in his mind, so it is better to be conservative in case of accidents.

The other type is the operation and maintenance robot, this type of robot is a fully automatic robot, which can independently complete the daily grid inspection, fault diagnosis, simple maintenance and other work according to the instructions of the intelligent control center of the smart grid.

Unless it is a major failure, it has to be manually repaired. For general daily maintenance and minor failures, the grid operation and maintenance robot can handle it by itself without human intervention.

This is also the first fully automatic robot developed by him using artificial intelligence technology and precision automation technology for the first time, which is of groundbreaking significance.

The third aspect is the application of various new technologies to improve the availability and reliability of the entire power grid from small details and reduce the incidence of failures.

This is easy to understand. In the past, the precision of power grid equipment was poor, but the heavy industry attribute was strong. Many equipment were of the stupid type. Take the most basic transformer, each of which is very heavy.

In fact, the smart grid has already used many advanced sensors, which can closely monitor the status of the grid, and at the same time automatically control the nodes of the grid, so as to achieve the purpose of intelligent distribution.

A lot of electronic semiconductor technologies are used here. In fact, along this line of thinking, many circuits can also be integrated to achieve miniaturization.

Like transformers, more advanced integration technologies can be used to turn devices that previously required large coils into devices that are only the size of ordinary boxes and light in weight.

It was very difficult to do this in the past. No matter how miniaturized, the amount of current flow must always meet the requirements, and the amount of current flow itself is subject to the physical characteristics of the material, which cannot be changed by manpower.

But it is different now, because the use of room temperature superconducting materials has lifted the restrictions brought about by many material properties and made things that were impossible before possible.

At that time, like semiconductor circuits integrating weak current circuits, strong current circuits can be integrated on the circuit board, which is subversive for the current power grid technology.

At that time, an ordinary 220V transformer will only be as big as a set-top box, or even smaller, and can be as big as a home router.

This is just an example. The benefits of doing so are obvious. It can reduce the amount of materials used, save urban space, reduce the difficulty of construction and maintenance, increase the stability and security of the power grid, and so on.

The only disadvantage is that the technical threshold is very high, and a large number of electrical companies will be blocked from this door, but this is a good thing for him, and he can do exclusive business.

Everyone wants to do exclusive business, which means a high market share, full pricing power, and high profits.

And others can't say anything, because this is a technical monopoly, which is fundamentally different from ordinary monopoly. As long as others do not master these technologies, it means that they will not be deliberately targeted, otherwise they will kill eight hundred enemies and lose one thousand.

The annual global power grid investment scale is at least trillions of yuan, which is still the investment scale of traditional power grids, while the investment scale of new smart grids will be even higher.

If there is no reason for market protection, Kirin Electric Industry Group can rely on advanced power grid technology and equipment to monopolize the global power grid construction market. He has this confidence.

Because the power grid technology and equipment he envisioned are not at the same technical level as the existing power grid technology and equipment, they are several levels behind.

Before that, he planned to slowly upgrade the grid technology and equipment so that he could keep making money, but now his thinking has changed.

If you can’t surpass the existing grid technology too much, it will be difficult to monopolize the global grid technology and electrical equipment market. You must come up with technology that makes people greedy at first glance, so that the other party has a strong impulse to upgrade.

The only thing that can arouse the impulse of capital is interest, that is to say, it can help capital save the overall cost, so that they can make more money, or can improve their service level by more than one level.

It is impossible for him to sell technology and products at a low price to seize the market. This is not in line with his business habits. You get what you pay for, and good technology and equipment should be worth that price.

Therefore, the construction cost of the new smart grid must be much higher than that of the ordinary grid, but the maintenance cost is much lower, and the stability is not comparable to that of the ordinary grid.

After thinking about this, some of the power grid electrical technical information collected by Ye Zishu before is a bit outdated, so in the next time, he needs to spend more time on work.

Now that Kirin Basic Industries Group's research and development is coming to an end, and many equipments have even entered the factory production stage, so he doesn't need to worry too much.

As for the research and development work of other sub-group companies, he does not intend to take care of them now. Many of their technical standards are not as high as those of the Basic Industry Group, and the time urgency is not as high as that of the Basic Industry Group.

Let these R\u0026D personnel study slowly. Ye Zishu does not plan to stay in the R\u0026D center in the morning, but moves to his office and goes all out to work.

There are only two tasks at present, one is the sorting out of solar power generation technology. The technology in this area has been prepared one after another, but it has not been brought out, and the energy spent is not too much.

The other is the new smart grid technology. This system is very large, and there are many types of electrical equipment. Each application scenario is supported by electrical equipment of different specifications.

What's more, the smart grid, in the final analysis, is the use of various sensors. Any intelligent system is inseparable from the support of various sensors. The future market size of sensors will only increase.

It takes a lot of time for him to sort out various sensor technical materials, as well as room temperature superconducting material technology, strong electric circuit integration technology and so on in the various application scenarios mentioned above.

It is now the end of December, and the new year is coming soon. The Chinese New Year is in mid-February. No matter how much he ignores the details of his industries in February, he still needs to deal with some things.

Before the Spring Festival, he really has time to deal with these technical issues. There is only one month, and the time is still very tight. He doesn't want to delay the matter until after the Spring Festival.

Ye Zishu asked the members of the preparatory committee of the new group to speed up the formation of the new group, especially the construction of the R\u0026D team. It must be established before the Spring Festival, and the number must reach at least 5,000 people.

As for the management team, it can be delayed a little bit, but the basic structure still needs to be established, otherwise the R\u0026D team will not be able to manage it.

After the Spring Festival, we can distribute the technical materials on hand to the R\u0026D personnel for research and development, and strive to complete the technical realization work within half a year.

Then there is to build the production line. The plant can be built in advance. It may take three months to build the production line and produce it. It will be mass-produced before the end of next year and can be put into actual construction.
