Shenzhen City, Southern Power Grid Power Monitoring Room.

All core members of the power grid monitoring team gathered in front of the large screen, looking at the data displayed on the screen, frowned.

A man in suit sorted out the materials at hand, finally confirmed that the data was accurate, and spoke:

"According to our latest monitoring results, as of June 18, the power load of the Guangdong power grid reached 148 million kilowatts, an increase of 3.3% month-on-month, setting a record high, and climbing all the way up. So far, the electricity loads of our subordinate provinces and regions, Guangdong, Guizhou, Dian, Guizhou and Qiong have all set a new record."

"According to this trend, electricity demand will soon break through the carrying limit of our power grid, especially the weather is about to turn hot, and electricity consumption will further increase. It is expected that by mid-July, we will have to adopt power-locking and power limit measures."

Hearing his words, the man with a buzz cut sitting in the middle of the conference room nodded slightly and then asked:

"Why is there such a serious power shortage this year? Why didn't we foresee the peak of electricity consumption this year when planning for the whole year? Is there a problem of insufficient preparation?"

The man in the suit sighed helplessly, then pressed the remote control in his hand, and switched to the screen of the presentation document he prepared in advance.

"We did not expect the peak of electricity we are facing in advance, but this was not our work mistake."

"In fact, the peak of electricity consumption from the end of April to the present has suddenly appeared -- and it was caused by an unexpected event that we absolutely could not expect."

"That is, the sulfur silicon battery developed under the leadership of the General Technical Office."

"This battery almost changed the power consumption pattern of our entire province at the moment of its appearance. It was not only that factories carried out large-scale high-intensity production for this battery, but after the release of related products, the demand for civilian electricity was also rising."

"At present, BYD's charging piles are running overload, and new charging piles are still being launched. This situation will become more serious after the long-range new energy vehicles of several major manufacturers are launched. At that time, the imbalance between power supply and demand we face will be even more serious."

"Although this effect has not yet been fully revealed, we must prepare early."

The man with a buzz cutter continued to ask questions while recording what the man in the suit said on paper:

"What about this? Are there any other situations we haven't considered?"

"I have also learned about the silicon sulfur battery project. I personally think that the impact of this battery is far more than that."

"According to the public information we have obtained, the current application of this battery in the military field may far exceed that of the civilian field, so the increase in electricity demand it brings is far more than what we can predict."

"So, before we receive the official notice, we must prepare in advance--at least at least prepare at a load margin of 20%.

Hearing his words, everyone fell into silence.

For a stable operation of power grid system, increasing the load by 20% is far from as simple as it seems. The various grid connection and peak shaving operations it needs to design are almost impossible for any country to complete.

After a long time, the man in the suit said hesitantly:

"This is impossible... Now we are not right from the peak of electricity we judged - it's not even the peak, it's just that the electricity demand exceeds the critical value of our carrying capacity - now we have less than two months away from this critical value, and no matter what we do, it's too late."

"We have a fourth-generation generator power station under construction, but it is still far from being connected to the grid. In a short period of time, it is simply far away from being able to relieve near-thirst."

"In addition, even if we mobilize the national power grid and transfer power from other provinces and cities, we cannot make up for this gap."

"More importantly, in the future, we will not only face electricity gaps, but this situation will gradually spread across the country. At that time, I'm afraid the whole country will face the same situation."

"It's a terrible thing to do if the electricity gap is 20% load nationwide."

"So, I personally think that this is not a problem that we can solve. We should report it to the superior unit immediately, explain the situation in a timely manner, and make overall arrangements."

"Is there no other way?"

The man with a buzz cut asked.

"It's really gone. We will continue to do everything we can, but at the same time, we must clarify a basic principle: the situation we are facing is absolutely impossible to solve by our own strength."

"Of course we can pull the power outage, but under the current layout, this is definitely not our most choice."

"This will greatly limit the development of surrounding industries brought about by silicon sulfur batteries. According to our existing information, the strategic goals carried by this battery are absolutely unshakable. If our strategic layout is slowed down due to our problems, our superiors will never let us go easily."

"Understood."

The man with a buzz nodded and continued:

"So, the situation we are facing now and the strategies we need to carry out are basically clear. Xiao Liu, you break down the relevant tasks and send them to the hands of each responsible person."

"The company immediately launches an emergency response plan, and in the next two months, all our work will be carried out around this goal."

"We must never let the power limit of the shuttering and power limit happen in Guangdong Province, but in Shenzhen City. This is the bottom line. No matter what the price is paid, the bottom line cannot be broken!"

"clear!"

Everyone in the monitoring room answered in unison and immediately went to work hard.

Everyone knows that what they are about to face is probably the biggest challenge they have been in their careers. The difficulty of this challenge is even greater than the electricity consumption tension caused by the ice and snow disasters back then, because at that time, they at least knew what to do. At least they could be convinced that as long as they invested manpower and material resources at all costs, as long as they were not afraid of hardship or difficulties, they would always be able to overcome the difficulties.

But what about now?

What they face is a field that is completely unfamiliar to the entire world, and no country has ever faced this situation.

Therefore, they cannot find any cases for reference, and they can only rely on themselves.

Then I had to do my best.

......

Two hours later, Chen Hao received news that the electricity load was about to reach its limit, but neither he nor Ye Zhou were anxious about it.

In the living room, Ye Zhou handed Chen Hao a cup of Tieguanyin soaked in a large tea jar. After the two of them sat down, he spoke:

"The work of your General Technical Office needs to continue to expand. Judging from the current situation, the information difference between subordinate units and superior units is too big."

"We have been discussing the increase in electricity demand caused by sulfur silicon batteries this time for two months, but the power grid units below still know nothing about our plans."

"This is not a good phenomenon. Look at the reports they sent, their strategy has a wide range and involves the cooperation of power grids in multiple provinces and cities. If they really don't cooperate and let them continue to implement it on their own, it will have a great impact on our subsequent plans."

Hearing Ye Zhou's words, Chen Hao nodded.

"This is indeed a big problem. I remember we had this problem when we were in a chip project before, and it is the second time now."

"I will raise this issue at the next meeting and then discuss it by relevant experts to adjust our information communication and departmental collaboration mechanisms to adapt to the subsequent rapid iteration of technology."

"Now our pace is getting faster and faster, and this acceleration actually happens within a year."

"Although a year is a long time for you and me, it is understandable that there are many personnel and departments involved in the entire country, and there is a certain lag."

"So, I hope you understand this."

Ye Zhou tasted the tea in the cup briefly and then replied:

"Don't worry, I can understand, but I still hope that this working method can be adjusted as soon as possible--even if the most extreme form of improving treatment is adopted, all personnel must be entered into the full-speed operation stage."

"Now, the chariots rushing towards the future have been activated, and we need to do our best not to let anyone fall behind."

"I understand, I will report it to my superiors."

Speaking of this, Chen Hao paused for a moment, then continued:

"This question is over. Do you have any suggestions for technical matters?"

Ye Zhou pondered for a moment, shook his head and replied:

"This is not my major, so I will follow your plan. My only requirement is that this large-scale grid connection will definitely not cause any problems, especially in key equipment - the energy storage inverter is not a new product. Now, the difficulty of solving high-density batteries is solved. If there is a problem with this, I really can't understand it."

"No, we are confident in this area. As long as the high-density battery is solved and the energy storage inverter is launched, the entire power grid can immediately enter collaborative management."

Chen Hao replied firmly.

Then, the two of them looked at the lights outside the window in tacit understanding.

Carrying this light is the world's most advanced power grid system, and now, this power grid system is facing huge challenges.

However, this did not make them nervous.

Because in addition to the existing network of this power grid, there is also a huge reserve force hidden.

The cumulative installed capacity is 305.987gw, with an annual newly added installed capacity of more than 15%, accounting for more than 10% of the total installed capacity of the domestic power grid. However, the power generation capacity is restricted by the difficulty of connecting to the grid and cannot increase for a long time, the photovoltaic power grid!

The emergence of high-density battery-configured energy storage inverters eliminates the last difficulty of photovoltaic grid connection, line trend problems, system protection problems, power quality and operation and scheduling problems, and after this, China's power industry will completely enter a period of unremitting rapid development.
