Load in North China Power Grid Reaches Record High

---

Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas). Following the successive high temperature in recent days, power demand in the North China Power Grid has been steadily increasing. The power load has been maintained above 100 million kW since the load surpassed 100 million kW the first time on June 7, 2007. Among the five regional power grids under the State Grid Corporation (Beijing, China), North China Power Grid is the first to load over 100 million kW in the summer. On June 15, the maximum load in the North China Power Grid reached a new record high to 103.41 million kW. The North China Power Grid has taken a series of effective measures to ensure the power supply during the peak hours this summer and to satisfy the power consumption demand of the area.

The first round of peak loads in the North China Power Grid appeared on June 7-8 this summer, when the peak load in the grid reached 100.36 million kW and 102.79 million kW respectively. On June 8, the maximum load in the Beijing - Tianjin - Tangshan power grid also reached a new record high of 29.95 million kW, which surpassed last year’s maximum load of 29.37 million kW. The maximum load in the capital power grid surpassed 10 million kW to 10.51 million kW on June 8, which is close to the last year’s maximum record of 10.81 million kW.

In facing the load increase situation, the North China Power Grid has taken active measures in dealing with the challenge of peak loads during the summer months. Equipment maintenance was carried out in advance. The patrol on transmission lines, especially for the 500KV west to east transmission passage and 220KV distribution lines, were enhanced to prevent any external damage and eliminate hidden risks. By taking the full advantage of interlinked grids and enhanced inter-province power support, the safe and reliable operation in the North China Power Grid has been ensured.
