[00:00:17] app. In the first year of the 15th Five-Year Plan, China's economic
[00:00:21] vitality is stable. New productive forces are accelerating
[00:00:24] their progress. New things are rising strongly
[00:00:28] . Consumption. New vitality, inspiring thousands of people
[00:00:31] . Major industrial cities will embrace new development
[00:00:35] prospects .
[00:00:38] Reporters are on the front line, opening up new forces
[00:00:42] .
[00:00:45] Luzhou Laojiao Guojiao 1573 reminds you to watch
[00:00:48] Focus Interview.
[00:01:00] 13 years, Guojiao
[00:01:02] 1573
[00:01:07] speaks with facts
[00:01:08] ,
[00:01:11] Focus Interview .
[00:01:15] Hello, audience friends, welcome to Focus Interview. Today, we will continue
[00:01:19] to watch the series of programs "New Forces for a New Beginning". In 15:57,
[00:01:23] our country's overall investment and soft construction. High-quality promotion
[00:01:27] of national major strategic implementation and key areas of security.
[00:02:30] The cost for the entire society is close to 16 billion yuan. This has a more
[00:02:33] far-reaching impact on the circulation of economic factors in the Yangtze River and the adjustment
[00:02:36] of the layout of major productive forces in the Yangtze River. In the initial stage of the construction of the Three Gorges Project, the Three Gorges double-line ship
[00:02:40] lock was designed with a throughput capacity of over 100 million tons, which was expected to be reached
[00:02:44] in 2030. Unexpectedly, in 2011, the cargo throughput of the Three Gorges ship lock exceeded
[00:02:47] 100 million tons, reaching the designed throughput capacity 19 years ahead of schedule. The Three Gorges ship lock will be completed
[00:02:51] in 2025. The Three Gorges ship lock
[00:02:55] will be opened in 2025. The Three Gorges ship lock
[00:02:59] will be opened
[00:03:30] The reporter followed the person in charge of the project management department and felt the heat of the construction
[00:03:34] in the excavated area. The length of our entire pre-excavation area is
[00:03:37] 935 meters, and the maximum excavation height is
[00:03:41] 123 meters. The total excavation volume is more than
[00:03:45] 8.5 million cubic meters. This accounts for about 1/20 of the total excavation
[00:03:49] volume of our entire Three Gorges New Channel project. Our pre-excavation area serves as a pilot
[00:03:52] field function
[00:03:55] .
[00:04:20] After doing a good job of safety protection, the reporter recorded a blast test.
[00:04:24] Workers dug holes and filled them with electronic explosives. After construction in accordance with regulations,
[00:04:28] the blasting was remotely controlled. Three
[00:04:31] Two
[00:04:33] One
[00:04:38] . From a distance, although the blasting was large, the earth and rocks
[00:04:41] turned into fragments after the blasting and did not move much. Vehicles outside the blasting isolation
[00:04:45] zone were still under normal construction. From the current
[00:04:49] test results, our method is effective. The impact
[00:04:53] we are currently having on the Three Gorges Dam is minimal
[00:04:56] .
[00:05:12] Then, we also made plans for how to use each type of explosive.
[00:05:32] The Three Gorges Waterway New Channel is the largest comprehensive project on the main
[00:05:36] stream of the Yangtze River after the Three Gorges Project . The reporter saw
[00:05:39] here that although the project is large, the construction site is spectacular and orderly.
[00:06:12] This time, the construction of the Three Gorges Waterway New Channel includes not only the construction of the Three Gorges Shuniu New Channel,
[00:06:16] but also the Gezhouba shipping capacity expansion project. The reporter learned at the construction
[00:06:20] site that such a huge project not only needs to consider the big
[00:06:24] problem of ships in the river during the design stage, but also needs to consider the small problem of swimming fish in the water
[00:06:28] . It is
[00:06:31] a highly ecologically sensitive area, and it also has
[00:06:35] the protection of Chinese sturgeon resources, right
[00:06:38] ?
[00:06:41] In addition to the earthwork project, the reporter saw
[00:06:52] that at present, at the construction site of the Three Gorges Waterway New Channel, the relocation of these 500 kV
[00:06:56] ultra-high voltage transmission lines is also being carried out intensively
[00:06:59] . For a long time, these lines have sent the power
[00:07:03] distributed by the Three Gorges Dam to all parts of the country, but the old
[00:07:07] lines will affect the construction of the new ship lock. Therefore, the country's first
[00:07:10] large-scale long-distance,
[00:07:42] China is achieving modernization in its own
[00:07:46] way
[00:07:47] .
[00:07:52] China is modernizing in its own way. Keep up the good work
[00:07:54] .
[00:07:57] The construction of major projects is a stabilizing factor for China's macro economy during the 15th Five-Year
[00:08:01] Plan period and a driving force for stable growth. It not only ensures
[00:08:05] national security and enhances development resilience, but also truly implements the concept
[00:08:09] of investing in people. In April this year, the Political Bureau of the Central Committee proposed:
[00:08:20] Among them, the new power grid is the core platform and important
[00:08:23] carrier for China to build a new power system and new energy system during the 15th Five-Year Plan
[00:08:27] period. It will be based on the main power grid and distribution network, supplemented by
[00:08:31] smart microgrids, to form a power grid system with coordinated operation of main, distribution, and microgrids
[00:08:35] . The most basic goal of the new power grid
[00:08:38] is still to ensure safe and reliable power supply, so that everyone can
[00:08:42] go from using electricity to using electricity well and efficiently, and it also needs to
[00:08:46] have a certain degree of resilience. At the same time, new digital and intelligent technologies, including,
[00:08:50] may also need to be used in our new power grid
[00:08:54] in the future. In the first year of its launch, how will the construction of the new power grid serve people's
[00:08:57] production and life? The reporter came to one of the most economically active provinces in China, Zhejiang
[00:09:01] Province. The investigation began with a focus on the ongoing construction of the Gansu-Zhejiang
[00:09:05] ±800 kV UHV DC transmission project. This is the junction of Ningbo
[00:09:09] and Shaoxing in Zhejiang. The Yuezhou Converter Station is the terminal
[00:09:13] point of the Gansu-Zhejiang UHV DC transmission project. So behind
[00:09:16] me, this large guy being installed is the heart
[00:09:20] of this converter station, the world's largest flexible
[00:09:24] DC converter transformer . After its conversion,
[00:09:27] the high voltage of up to 800 kV from the west will enter the power grid
[00:09:31] of Zhejiang Province, allowing residents and businesses here to also use the power
[00:09:35] from the west. We will transmit 800 kV to Yuezhou, Zhejiang,
[00:09:39] and then convert and step down the voltage at this Yuezhou Converter
[00:09:43] Station before entering thousands of households. After the Gansu-Zhejiang
[00:09:47] DC project is completed, it can transmit
[00:09:51] 36 billion kWh of electricity to Zhejiang every year,
[00:09:54] of which more than half, more than 20 billion,
[00:09:58] is new energy such as wind and solar . During the 15th Five-Year Plan period,
[00:10:02] the UHV transmission lines that span east and west and north and south will form the backbone of the new
[00:10:06] power grid. At the same time, more and more distributed new energy sources
[00:10:10] developed in various regions according to local conditions are being connected. The distribution network and microgrid
[00:10:14] have also begun to play an increasingly important role
[00:10:16] .
[00:10:21] At the end of July, in the Ningbo Qianwan New Area, the reporter was in a newly completed .
[00:11:25] It has become a two-way power transmission line, which has also brought new pressure
[00:11:28] to the urban power grid. How to effectively absorb distributed photovoltaic power
[00:11:32] without causing too much trouble to the power grid? During the interview, the reporter saw
[00:11:36] a planning and simulation platform, specially designed to provide optimal planning
[00:11:40] suggestions for distributed photovoltaic access to the urban power grid. We
[00:11:43] have this new photovoltaic access, we just need to select
[00:11:47] the corresponding access position in this platform. For example, we can
[00:11:51] compare option 1 and option 23, which are to ensure user
[00:12:31] needs. But at the same time, Ningbo is located on the southeast coast, and summer thunderstorms
[00:12:35] are frequent. What should we do when a dark cloud approaches
[00:12:39] ? On July 19th this year, just after 11 am, dark clouds covered
[00:12:43] many areas of Ningbo, and thunderstorms began. The output power of the photovoltaic power
[00:12:47] generation, which was originally operating at full capacity, sharply declined . That day, we had such a curve,
[00:12:51] possibly within an hour or so .
[00:13:55] The biggest expectation for power supply is still that it can be more stable. Even
[00:13:58] if unexpected situations occur, try not to have power outages. 15-17
[00:14:02] How can we make our power grid more resilient ? The reporter visited the last
[00:14:06] stop in Ningbo, the mastermind behind the power grid automation system
[00:14:10] .
[00:14:13] Zhang Jiming is an expert in power grid automation technology. When the reporter met him,
[00:14:16] he was checking with his colleagues the situation of power restoration for users
[00:14:20] after two typhoons caused power grid failures in Ningbo in July this year.
[00:14:23] Because
[00:16:46] Good afternoon, everyone. This is CCTV News Channel. Welcome to Law and Order
[00:16:50] Revisited. During the summer vacation, the amount of free activity time for minors
[00:16:54] increases.
