Xinhua News Agency, Wuhan, March 10 (Reporter Hou Wenkun) According to the information of State Grid Hubei Electric Power Co., Ltd., on March 8, Hubei's new energy power generation output exceeded 10 million kilowatts for the first time, reaching 10,265,100 kilowatts, accounting for 40.4% of the province's electricity load. The daily power generation of new energy sources reached 138 million kWh, up 1.24% year-on-year. Hubei's new energy power generation output and daily power generation both reached record highs.

Anchoring the goal of 'double carbon', in recent years, Hubei has made every effort to provide new energy grid-connected services, and the installed capacity of new energy has accounted for 20% of the total installed capacity. With the rapid growth of new energy power generation, the consumption pressure is greatly increased. In order to ensure the full consumption of new energy power generation on that day, State Grid Hubei Electric Power Co., Ltd. accurately carried out new energy forecast and reasonably arranged the start-up and stop modes. For example, rationally utilize the regulating capacity of pumped storage power stations such as Bailianhe, and improve the peak-shaving capacity of 900,000 kilowatts; Deploy some small hydropower plants with storage capacity in advance, so as to ensure the power balance of the power grid, and avoid wind and light abandonment; Coordinate the shutdown of several thermal power units for standby.

Relevant persons of State Grid Hubei Electric Power Co., Ltd. said that the prediction model of new energy power generation will be further improved, and the prediction level of ultra-short-term, short-term and medium-and long-term power generation will be continuously improved. At the same time, rational use of pumped storage regulation means will promote the flexible transformation of coal-fired units in the province and release more new energy consumption space.
