The reporter learned from the Tibet Project Department of China Resources Group that the company’s largest power project in Tibet, the Lhasa gas-fired power plant, will realize a combined cycle power generation in May, which will effectively relieve the power shortage in Tibet.
According to Peng Buming, the project leader of the Lhasa Gas Turbine Power Plant, on December 31 last year, the first phase unit of the Lhasa gas turbine power plant began a single-cycle full-load test run to achieve grid-connected power generation. As of March 18, the cumulative power generation of 80 million degrees, to a certain extent, guaranteed the normal use of electricity during the New Year's Day, Spring Festival and Tibetan New Year holidays. At present, the project is stepping up construction and the combined cycle power generation of all units will be realized in May.
Peng Buming explained that the Lhasa Gas Turbine Power Plant is a power plant under the coordination of the National Energy Administration of the China Resources Group, which invested 800 million yuan to build an unpaid plant in Tibet. After the project is completed, it will have a power generation capacity of 120,000 kilowatts and an annual power generation of 500 million kwh.
According to report, the Lhasa Gas Turbine Power Plant has adopted the advanced technology, safe and reliable, energy-saving and environmentally friendly thermal power generation equipment. Recently, fuel is used to generate electricity and long-term gas pipelines built in Tibet use natural gas for power generation. The peaking capacity of the power plant is strong, and the gas turbine has the advantage of quick start and stop speeds, plus or minus load. It is suitable for the load fluctuation demand of high power consumption in the evening and low electricity consumption in Tibet.
The power structure in Tibet is dominated by hydropower, and the power generation capacity is greatly affected by seasonal changes. In the dry season, the electricity supply and demand gap will occur in the Tibet-Tibet Power Grid covering the five cities of Lhasa, Shannan, Shigatse, Nagqu and Nyingchi. The bottleneck of electricity has become a major issue that restricts Tibet’s economic and social development.
