"Like 1 million kilowatts of transmission lines, the general use of 8 wires, if the carbon fiber composite wire, as long as the use of 4." May 9, State Grid Beijing Institute of Economic and Technology Chief Engineer Chuan Chuan at the 2014 annual global wire and cable annual meeting On an interview with cable network reporter said.
"That from the perspective of the number of lines, can not save half?" Reporter exclaimed.
After affirmative answer, Zhou Chuanjin added that in addition to saving the use of cables, carbon fiber composite wire or a new structure of energy-saving compatibilizing wire, compared with the conventional wire, with light weight, high tensile strength, high conductivity, The advantages of low line loss, on behalf of the future overhead conductor technology trends, contribute to the construction of safe, environmentally friendly, highly efficient and economical transmission network, the long-term economy is better. In the 1 million kilowatts of transmission lines, if the use of carbon fiber wire, development can save 15%, technically save 20%, which is how much power grid construction cost savings and profit margins.
Zhou Chuan smiled and told reporters that I was State Grid Beijing Institute of Economic Technology, so from the perspective of research, more should consider the economic application, as much as possible to save costs. Therefore, I like to use carbon fiber composite wire.
Chuan Chuan said that now many people will ask me why the price is so high? Because, at present, most of the electricity still comes from coal power generation. Although many are now on the wind, solar energy, but the focus is small, the concentration is not high. Therefore, the current electricity price is still relatively high.
