[00:00:21] 155 is the opening year. China's economy
[00:00:24] is in a dynamic state
[00:00:25] .
[00:00:30] Three new things, rising strongly. Consumption
[00:00:33] is upgrading, with a vibrant atmosphere. Major
[00:00:37] projects are bringing new development prospects.
[00:00:40] Reporters are on the front lines, opening
[00:00:44] up new forces.
[00:00:46] .

[00:01:10] . Let the facts speak for themselves
[00:01:12] .
[00:01:15] Focus Interview .
[00:01:19] Hello, viewers and friends, welcome to Focus Interview. Today we continue
[00:01:23] to watch the series "New Forces at the Beginning of the Year".
[00:01:26] 15:17, our country's overall investment and soft construction.
[00:01:37] To promote the implementation of major national strategies and the construction of safe capacity projects in key areas, a total of 109 major projects have been deployed. This April, the Central Political Bureau meeting again proposed to accelerate the construction of water
[00:01:41] networks, new power grids, computing networks
[00:01:44] , new-generation communication networks, urban underground pipe networks, and logistics networks, totaling six
[00:01:48] networks. The opening year has passed halfway. How is the construction
[00:01:52] progress of these projects, and how will they change our lives
[00:01:56] ? Let's go to the Yangtze River to take a look.
[00:02:00] The reporter came to the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, this palace area. This is less than two
[00:02:04] kilometers from the Three Gorges Dam. It is the area where the construction of the new Three Gorges
[00:02:08] channel first began. Now this piece of land may not yet show any
[00:02:12] signs related to water, but in 10 years, a
[00:02:16] channel about 6.6 kilometers long will be built here. It will have a five-level
[00:02:19] ship lock, with a single ship up to 280 meters long and 40 meters wide, which is equivalent to
[00:02:23] the area of two standard football fields, with a minimum draught of 8 meters
[00:02:27] . Ten-thousand-ton giant ships will no longer be affected. From the logistics
[00:02:31] itself, it can save the entire society nearly
[00:02:34] 16 billion in costs each year. He said that the circulation of the Yangtze River economic
[00:02:38] belt, the adjustment of major industrial layout along the river
[00:02:42] , this impact is more far-reaching. In the early stages of the Three Gorges
[00:02:46] project construction, the Three Gorges dual-line ship lock was designed with a throughput capacity of 100
[00:02:50] million tons. It is expected to reach that by 2030. What
[00:02:53] was unexpected was that in 2011 , the cargo throughput of the Three Gorges ship lock
[00:02:57] exceeded 100 million tons, 19 years ahead of schedule.
[00:03:31] In June this year, the project officially began. More than a month later, the reporter followed the person in charge of the
[00:03:35] project management department and felt the heat of construction in the preliminary excavation
[00:03:38] area.
[00:03:46] The entire excavation volume is more than 8.5 million cubic meters
[00:03:49] , which accounts for approximately one-twentieth of the total excavation
[00:03:52] volume of our entire Three Gorges New Channel project. Our preliminary excavation
[00:03:56] area serves as a pilot field, and it is for me.
[00:04:42] From a distance, although the blasting volume is not small, the earth and rock turned into
[00:04:45] crushed stones after the blasting, and there was not much displacement. Vehicles outside the
[00:04:49] blasting isolation zone were still operating normally. From the current inspection
[00:04:53] results, our method is effective. What we are doing now has a negligible
[00:04:57] impact on the Three Gorges Dam. Blasting operation, the excavated soil and rock will also be separated from the green earthwork and rock
[00:06:42] At the same time, we also have an environment for the habitat of our sturgeon. When we
[00:06:46] build new dual-line locks , we choose an outlet
[00:06:49] that has the least impact on the ecology and simultaneously ensures the safest
[00:06:53] passage. In addition to earthworks , the reporter saw that at present, at the Three Gorges Water
[00:06:57] Transport New Channel construction site, the relocation of these 500 kV ultra-high voltage transmission
[00:07:00] lines is also in full swing. These
[00:07:04] lines have been sending the power generated by the Three Gorges Dam
[00:07:08] to various parts of the country, but the old lines will affect new ships.
[00:07:46] China is using
[00:07:49] its own way to realize modernization.
[00:08:13] In April this year, the Central Political Bureau meeting proposed to accelerate the construction of
[00:08:16] water networks, new power grids, computing networks, new-generation communication networks,
[00:08:20] urban underground pipe networks, and logistics networks, totaling six networks.
[00:08:24] Among them, the new power grid is the core platform and important carrier
[00:08:27] for our country to build a new power system and new energy
[00:08:31] system during the 15th Five-Year Plan. It will be based on the main power grid and distribution network, supplemented
[00:08:35] by smart microgrids, to form a power grid system with coordinated operation of main,
[00:08:39] distribution, and micro. The new power grid's most basic aspect is this.
[00:09:13] This is the Yuezhou Converter Station at the junction of Ningbo and Shaoxing, Zhejiang.
[00:09:17] It is the terminal of the Gan-Zhe Ultra-High Voltage DC Transmission Project. So, the big guy
[00:09:21] being installed behind me is the heart of this converter station
[00:09:25] , the world's largest flexible DC converter transformer. After
[00:09:29] its conversion, the high voltage of up to 800 kV
[00:09:33] from the west will enter the power grid of Zhejiang Province, allowing the residents
[00:09:37] and enterprises here to also use the electricity from the west
[00:09:40] . We transmit through 800 kV.
[00:09:42] After arriving at Yuezhou, Zhejiang, it is converted and stepped down at this Yuezhou
[00:09:46] converter station, and then enters
[00:09:49] thousands of households .
[00:09:53] It can transmit 36 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity
[00:09:57] to Zhejiang every year, of which more than half
[00:10:01] , over 20 billion, is from new energy sources such as wind
[00:10:04] and solar. During the 15th Five-Year Plan, ultra-high voltage transmission lines
[00:10:08] running east-west and north-south will form the backbone of the new power grid. At
[00:10:11] the same time,
[00:10:25] At the end of July, in the Ningbo Qianwan New Area , the reporter saw workers completing
[00:10:28] the final framing work on the roof of a newly completed
[00:10:32] car park
[00:10:33] .
[00:10:39] The roof of the 19th floor of the enterprise where I am currently located is completely covered
[00:10:43] with photovoltaic panels. On such a sunny day, it can generate over 60,000
[00:10:47] kilowatt-hours of electricity. When production is busy, this electricity can be used by the enterprise itself. During
[00:10:51] holidays, this electricity can be fed back into the city's power grid. This
[00:11:25] originally meant that the city's distribution network, which was responsible for the last mile of power delivery, turned
[00:11:29] into a two-way power transmission line, which also brought new pressure
[00:11:32] to the city's power grid. How can we effectively absorb distributed photovoltaic power
[00:11:36] without causing too much trouble to the power grid ? During the interview, the reporter saw
[00:11:40] a planning simulation platform, specifically for providing optimal planning
[00:11:44] suggestions for distributed photovoltaic access to the city power grid. We have
[00:11:48] this new photovoltaic access. If we only need to select
[00:11:52] the access location corresponding to this platform,
[00:12:35] But at the same time, Ningbo is located on the southeast coast, with frequent thunderstorms
[00:12:39] in summer. When a dark cloud floats over, what should be done
[00:12:42] ? On July 19th this year, just after 11 a.m., many
[00:12:46] places in Ningbo were covered with dark clouds and thunderstorms began. The power output of the photovoltaic
[00:12:50] that was originally generating full power dropped sharply. That day, our curve was like
[00:12:54] this.
[00:13:56] For every enterprise and family , the greatest expectation for power
[00:14:00] supply is that it can be more stable, and even in unexpected situations
[00:14:04] , power should not be cut off 15:57 How to make our power
[00:14:07] grid more resilient? The reporter visited the last station in Ningbo, the backend
[00:14:11] brain of the power grid automation system
[00:14:14] .
[00:14:17] Zhang Jiming is a power grid automation technology expert. When the reporter met him, he
[00:14:20] was checking with his colleagues the two typhoons that passed through Ningbo
[00:14:24] in July this year.
