State Grid Bortala Power Supply Company: Accelerating the operation of the 'Pursuing Sunlight' project

On Nov 20, the State Grid Bortala Power Supply Company organized its employees to visit the construction site of the 100,000 kilowatt heat storage solar thermal power project with an additional 900,000 kilowatt new energy project in Bortala Mongol autonomous prefecture. They took the initiative to assist customers with eliminating defects and accelerating the operation of the "pursuing sunlight" project in Bortala Mongol autonomous prefecture.

The project belongs to the second batch of market-oriented grid-connected new energy projects in the region in 2022. It has a total installed capacity of one million kilowatts and a total investment of 6.2 billion yuan ($856 million). Currently, the photovoltaic part, with an installed capacity of 900,000 kilowatts and two supporting booster and collection stations, have completed construction and started the project acceptance. The 100,000 kilowatt solar thermal power generation phase has entered the final stage of civil construction. The procurement of major equipment has been completed, and it is gradually entering the equipment installation stage.

To ensure that grid connection work of the project is carried out smoothly, the company established a "one-stop" service workstation for the grid connection of new energy in Bortala Mongol autonomous prefecture. An internal and external responsible person mechanism was set up, responsibilities for grid connection services was assigned to individuals, implemented "one-on-one" tracking services, followed up on the project progress in a timely manner, and extended guidance to solve the problems encountered by the new energy power stations during the grid connection process. During the acceptance process, the professional backbones in the fields of substation maintenance, metering, power dispatching and control of the company went deep into the front line. They conducted meticulous inspections on various equipment such as the type selection, structure, secondary wiring and relay protection devices of the primary equipment in the new energy power stations, and provided face-to-face guidance on the power transmission plans in the later stage as well as the operation and maintenance regulations.
