Chapter 1647 Supercritical Unit
This kind of power expansion in China is crazy in most countries, which will cause huge waste. When there is no way to use the complete power, these power plants may just be decorations. If they are produced, it will be even more terrible. Small-scale power can also be staggered and stored through some charging stations. However, large-scale power cannot be used and will accumulate and accumulate to a certain extent. When the power grid cannot bear such storage, it is the final moment of explosion.
Electric power has its powerful functions and can promote the gradual increase in productivity. After most machines have been transformed through electrification, their productivity and functions will be greatly improved. However, if such powerful functions cannot be used, they will cause great trouble.
When China's installed capacity was no more than 3,000, it began to build power plants on a large scale, and it was a power plant group, which directly increased China's installed capacity by more than 10,000 times, from a country with scarce electricity to a country where electricity is used everywhere, and the transformation of electrification has gradually developed to a deeper level.
Compared with the first industrial revolution, the Second Industrial Revolution was more in-depth and the level of productivity improvement was higher. The first industrial revolution was just compared with the feudal society of the old era. It took Britain more than a hundred years to stabilize its strong productivity. In the initial stage of the steam engine, the improvement of productivity was not as terrible as imagined. The gap between industrial countries and non-industrial countries was not as large as imagined. Examples of non-industrial countries defeating industrial countries are everywhere.
However, in the era of the electrification revolution, without a solid and complete industrial foundation, non-industrial countries, or countries that have not completed the industrial revolution, are basically impossible to defeat industrial countries. This is determined by the difference in the technological content and productivity of both sides.
In the era of the electrical revolution, industrial development will be truly terrible. It is precisely because of the immediate intervention in this field that the two backward countries, the United States and Germany, developed quite fast. Britain is an old industrial country. Most of their industrial products can still be used, and the same is true for machine tools and machines. Capital pursues the greatest value. Even if electricity may have a huge effect, they generally will not give up what they are making money unless the speed of making money is unbearable.
However, the United States and Germany had no such consequences. During the first industrial revolution, they followed the power revolution and later came. Germany first replaced Britain and became the number one in Europe and the world. Then the United States surpassed Britain and Germany. The convenience and productivity brought by electricity have profoundly changed the entire world.
Yang Yuanzhao is clear about this point. Even in later generations, the use of electricity is still irreplaceable. Many unimaginable changes in today's world are considered to change the world from the beginning to the future. What Yang Yuanzhao has to do is to make this change more thoroughly. Not only does it meet the entire China in one step, but it continuously expands its power needs, but it also achieves the purpose of environmental monitoring and comprehensive governance.
It seemed crazy, but in fact it was carefully expanded, and later confirmed that it was the most suitable for the current situation in China from 1910 to 1916. The increase in installed capacity by tens of thousands of times did not cause too much waste, but was absorbed by China's huge mechanical manufacturing capacity and electricity consumption. Even in 1914, as the European war became more and more intense, China's outward orders even showed a gap in electricity.
This point has to be said of the role of Tras. Even if a master like Tras is not allowed to enter the military field, the improvement in civilian use, especially electricity, is enough to greatly increase China's strength. In this era, electricity has become an important indicator. Although steel is not as good as steel, it directly represents the data on the military strength of a country, the power generation degree is also one of the indicators to measure whether a country is strong.
Tras' help to China is not only reflected in the establishment of thermal power generation groups, but also in the sharp drop in China's electricity prices. According to the current rules, the larger the installed capacity, the lower the cost. After large-scale power generation, the more efficient it is than the individual power generation, but the efficiency is not high. Therefore, in this era, when the generator is established to a certain level, it stops because there is no need to generate so much electricity, and it is really too much to be used. This investment is wasted. After every centralized country has a certain long-term prediction, it will follow the steps. There is no such thing as China's construction.
China has embarked on a completely different path from foreign countries. Not only has it gradually expanded its scale and installed capacity has become larger and larger, but it has also moved towards a deeper level. Most of the foreign countries are still on how to expand generator sets to reduce electricity prices, China has begun to save energy, and how to use the smallest coal to emit electricity has become the dominant move.
This involves comprehensive utilization of coal and how to completely burn coal. At the beginning, most power generation power generation countries in the world have grasped the role of scale, but to reach that scale, how to reduce it, even coal-saler, the simplest way to recover heat that cannot be generated by coal combustion, or turn it back into energy pools, or turn it into hot water, and supply it to civilians without expecting that China has taken direct action on the unit itself, looking for some kind of large-scale combustion and increased power generation range.
Critical, supercritical, supercritical, represent the state of a power generation boiler. Under this state, coal combustion is the most sufficient and brings more energy. With this professionalism, not to mention that Yang Yuanzhao is a team engineer, even if he is really an engineer in a power plant, he only knows a rough idea. In later generations, China has only solved some of the critical states, supercritical and supercritical states, but is only being studied and has not been put into use. Only the top scientists in this industry can know it.
However, thanks to the era of advanced information in later generations, many things, as long as you have heard of them, are enough. In any case, they are also the top power generation theory in later generations. He just told the theory he heard in later generations to Telas, saying that the unintentional listener was intentional. Telas himself is a legendary scientist, and many of his discoveries and theories directly affected the 20th century. Even in the early 20th century, when the theories in all aspects were not sound. As long as there is a correct theory, in the AC and power generation industries he is most familiar with, Telas has really walked a path.
Yang Yuanzhao did not expect that Tras could get this technology out, because it was a breakthrough that the whole world achieved after the 1980s and 1990s and when materials and energy developed to a certain level, it was impossible to get this power generation technology without thirty or fifty years of developing materials and technology to a certain peak.
After studying hard, Tras really created the critical state in one fell swoop. Of course, this is due to the amazing effect of the all-in-one machine. Among the materials synthesized by Yang Yuanzhao through the all-in-one machine, a large part of them are not produced by China's production capacity, and can only be synthesized through the all-in-one machine.
These things, such as chips, small sizes and large functions, or machine tool turning tools, have far-reaching influence on the entire field of mechanical processing. Masters like Trass do more in-depth research materials, usually provided by Yang Yuanzhao, and only he can produce these extraordinary materials, sufficient materials and experimental materials, which gave the masters countless inspirations and created brilliant scientific and technological achievements.
The supercritical state was created under this premise. Even through 12 experiments, Tlas determined the specific value of the critical state through inevitable accidents and proposed a series of illusions.
It has to be said that Tras is really a master in power. He not only created alternating current, but also created such an important indicator with the support and inspiration of Yang Yuanzhao. The critical state is one of the important theories related to power generation. As long as this state is clear, the revolution in power will not be far away.
In fact, this is true. Before figuring out the critical point, all research is very slow, often accumulated over a long period of time without any effect. However, once a breakthrough is made in this aspect and with this basic indicator, the next quasi-critical, supercritical, or even supercritical is just a matter of time. The basic concept is smooth, and the rest is only a matter of process and materials. These do not even need to be paid attention to by Telas. They only use human-sea tactics to constantly choose the right technology, and have a more basic basis, because the road ahead is smooth.
After determining the critical state and knowing the basic theory of the critical state, it took only 3 months to create a quasi-critical unit. Such a unit with an installed capacity of only 300,000 is not as efficient as China's largest generator set to generate electricity. However, this unit represents another height, which greatly reduces the coal consumption per unit of electricity, and reduces at least 150 grams.
You should know that China's electricity coal consumption is still quite low. In other countries in the world, at 1,000 grams or even higher, China has long reduced it to below 650 grams, and before the critical unit, it reached 550 grams. In the absence of critical and supercritical states, such an amount is already quite powerful. 550 grams is already a certain height. Even the former Trass, without other theoretical support, only took 5 grams and 10 grams slowly. Moreover, this speed is still a symptom treatment in a quarter. It is estimated that in three years, the coal consumption may be reduced to below 500 grams.
It seems inconspicuous, but China's power generation exceeds 30 billion kWh, and even began to 1914, it has increased significantly. Under this situation, the reduction of one kilogram of electricity by one kilogram means a reduction of 30 billion grams, which is a reduction of 30,000 tons of coal. In four quarters a year, it is about 30 grams, which is close to one million tons.
No matter how cheap anything is, when this number reaches the level of million tons, it is already quite considerable. It is 150 grams at once, and in terms of power generation in 1915, it exceeds 5 million tons. Even in China, with the extremely abundant coal resources, this is not a small number, let alone a certain increase in the future.
In terms of coal consumption per unit of electricity, it is already an extremely extreme state to reach below 500. Continuing to reduce electricity consumption will reduce electricity consumption a lot. Coal consumption, as one of the main costs of electricity, also has huge constraints on electricity prices. When the stability is slightly 400, it means that China's electricity is gradually moving towards cheapness, and China's power generation costs are greatly reduced. Therefore, all industries related to electricity have different degrees of benefits, especially in the electrolytic aluminum industry. When the electricity price is reduced by 50%, the cost of aluminum produced by it has also decreased to a considerable extent.
However, quasi-critical is just a basis. After quasi-critical, the researchers continued to work hard and created a truly exceeding the critical unit in mid-1915. This unit has a certain amount reduced on the original basis. Although the amount is only thirty or fifty grams, this one is more amazing than the previous 150 grams.
Within 400 grams, there is no huge increase. Thirty or fifty grams is already quite large. If 400 grams is equivalent to one-third of 1.2 kilograms abroad, 300 grams is one-quarter. Even if it is 350 grams, it is only a small part of the mainstream price. In industries related to electricity, China's cost is much lower than that of them, let alone different processing efficiency.
The supercritical state was used, and the power of Trass was strong, and the coal consumption per kilowatt-hour reached about 360 grams, which was extremely cheap. You should know that China itself is the country with the largest coal production. Because of its huge quantity, especially some open-pit coal mines, these coal may be used as ship coal, and the heat generation capacity is insufficient, but the coal consumption as power generation is possible. The coal consumption per kilowatt-hour alone is only about one-third of that of other countries, and the price of electricity is greatly reduced.
Taking aluminum as an example, the price of this raw material is subject to electricity prices. The higher the electricity bill, the higher the price of aluminum. On the contrary, the lower the electricity bill, the lower the price of aluminum. Taking heavy strategic bombers as an example, more than 50% of the overall fuselage material is aluminum. An aircraft uses nearly 10 tons of aluminum. When the price of aluminum is greatly reduced, the prices in all aspects are also reduced. This is one of the biggest costs of strategic bombers.
