China Needs Prompt Construction of a Strong National Power Grid （Excerption）
摘要
China needs to develop a strong national power grid which takes ultra-high-voltage (UHV) transmission systems as its core. The grid is expected to adopt 1000-kV-class AC and ± 800-kV DC transmission systems. In view of significant achievements in technological research and considerable progress in UHV manufacturing technology, China is capable of developing UHV systems. In order to promote the construction of UHV systems,China Electric Power Research Institute and other institutions have initiated first-phase research activities of UHV transmission technologies. The main contents involve research on UHV transmission technology and its economy,developing and manufacturing abilities on UHV equipment, prospective of UHV network frame and selection of demonstration projects, etc.
