Wind power refers to a method of using renewable energy that uses wind energy to drive wind turbines to generate electricity. As global energy consumption continues to increase and the issue of environmental pollution becomes increasingly prominent, renewable energy has gradually become an important alternative source to fossil energy. As a type of renewable energy, wind energy has the advantages of being clean, renewable, and low cost, so it is widely used and developed around the world.
According to data released by the National Energy Administration, as of the end of September 2023, the country’s cumulative installed wind power capacity exceeded 400 million kilowatts, an increase of 15% over the same period last year, including 368 million kilowatts of onshore wind power and 31.89 million kW of offshore wind power. In the first three quarters of 2023, the national wind power generation capacity is 630.5 billion kWh, an increase of 16% over the same period last year. The average wind energy usage rate nationwide is 97.1%, an increase of 0.6 percentage points over the same period last year. The key to promoting clean and low-carbon energy transition is to accelerate the development of non-fossil energy, especially new energy sources such as wind power and solar power. About 95% of my country’s non-fossil energy is mainly converted into electrical energy for use.
Project introduction
The 50 MW Shadege wind power project in Longyuan, Northern Inner Mongolia is located in Shadegesumubiktigacha, with a total investment of 400 million yuan and an area of 30 acres. The project mainly builds 25 wind turbines with a single capacity of 2,000 kW and a voltage of 35,000 volts. 1 booster station. The project can generate 110 million KWH annually and generate annual sales revenue of 56 million yuan. Compared with thermal power plants of the same scale, the project can save 30,200 tons of standard coal throughout the year, reduce sulfur dioxide emissions by 338.4 tons, reduce nitrogen oxide emissions by 349.5 tons, reduce carbon monoxide emissions 8 tons, smog and dust emissions reduced by 40 tons and ash emissions reduced. 08,000 tons. Completion of the project will fill the gap in wind power generation in Qianqi and play an important role in alleviating the power consumption problems of the regional power grid and improving environmental quality.
Project challenges
As the province with the largest installed capacity of new energy in my country, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region is rich in wind and solar resources and has huge development potential. It has always been a battleground for new energy development companies. However, the geographical location of wind farms is relatively scattered and remote, wind power projects are mainly concentrated in the desert, Gobi, desert and other areas, the environment and climate are complex. , easy to change and irresistible factors are obvious, making implementation difficult. Manage power plants as an important part of the electricity network and implement safety precautions. Wind turbines are located at remote locations and abnormal temperatures are one of the important characteristic signs of faults in electrical equipment such as transformers, lightning arresters, capacitors and circuit breakers. Project sites often have few or no supervisors and low manual inspection efficiency. It is multi-faceted and the data lacks real-time and continuity. Additionally, high voltage equipment is dangerous.
Project requirements
To make inspection easier and operation and maintenance more technological, how to achieve “cost reduction and increased efficiency” from many aspects such as ensuring equipment availability high equipment, improve wind power operation and maintenance efficiency as well as reduce operation and maintenance costs through precise intelligence. operation and maintenance in power plants Implementing remote and unattended management is of great significance. If a power plant is truly unattended, it must provide the necessary security guarantees for the power plant itself and monitor various objects such as environmental conditions, key equipment and other important location so that the power plant can be effectively unattended. For example, each wind turbine has a power generation capacity of 2MW and there are a total of 25 wind turbines on the project area, which requires timely and comprehensive monitoring of the regional environment.
Yuantuo Optoelectronic Solutions
Based on the working environment and construction method of the wind farm, the costs of field inspection as well as operation and maintenance are very high, and sudden failures cannot be promptly handled. A remote operation and maintenance auxiliary monitoring system is required to perform facility monitoring, protection, and operation of wind farm equipment. Remote support for monitoring, operation and maintenance as well as equipment operation alerts can reduce the number of routine inspections, upgrading daily planned routine maintenance to early warning maintenance , while improving the utilization rate, availability rate and human productivity of power generation equipment.
Yuantuo Optoelectronics’ solution for auxiliary monitoring of operation and maintenance of the 50MW Shadege wind farm in Longyuan, northern Inner Mongolia, is to form a 4-way WT-Ring network with 25 wind turbines at the project site and each turbine wind is placed with network management switch RS6310-2GF8GT. The 4-way ring network is connected to the central monitoring network management switch CM6124-12GF12GT to transmit front-end video environmental monitoring data and fan vibration monitoring to the monitoring center.
Application product features:
In the 50MW Shadege wind power project in Inner Mongolia, through the introduction of Yuantuo Optoelectronics industrial switching solutions, reasonable network architecture design, redundancy design and security measures have been applied , which effectively improves the stability, reliability and security of data transmission in the substation. It provides powerful support for daily operations and management of wind farms. At the same time, the project also reduced maintenance costs and safety risks, achieved remarkable results, and provided useful references for the implementation of other similar projects.
