Huaneng Shang'an Power Plant: Decoding the road to "brilliance" of old thermal power

Yang and enlightenment, all things are born. Entering the spring of March, which is full of vitality. Spring has already spread to the Jingcheng Pass at the foot of Taihang Mountain, where is located the largest power plant in Hebei South Power Grid and an important heat source for winter heating in Shijiazhuang City, Huaneng Shang'an Power Plant (hereinafter referred to as "Shang'an Power Plant"). The entrepreneurial scene of "people working hard in the early spring and steaming" is being presented here: the power generation exceeds 3.106 billion kilowatt hours, the operating profit has increased significantly year-on-year, and the heat supply has reached a record high...... In the early spring of the Year of the Dragon, Shang'an Power Plant made a good start in the first quarter.

Ballast supply, stable "pillar"

On February 20, Shijiazhuang ushered in the first blizzard of the dragon, which brought great challenges to the supply of electricity and heat and people's livelihood. "According to the deployment of Huaneng Hebei Branch, we quickly launched the rain, snow and freezing level III emergency response, and took emergency plans and disposal measures for severe weather as soon as possible to ensure the safe and stable operation of the heat network system around the clock. Hou Qingzhou, director of Shang'an Power Plant and deputy secretary of the Party Committee, introduced.

At 0:00 on March 16, with the stable shutdown of the last heat network circulating pump, Shang'an Power Plant successfully completed the heating task of the 2023-2024 heating season, and continued to output 9.84 million GJ of high-quality heat sources, a year-on-year increase of 12.6%, a record high. It is worth mentioning that the daily heat supply exceeded 100,000 GJ for 15 consecutive days of extremely cold weather, and the highest heat supply in a single day was 119,000 GJ, a record high.

In order to make the "heat burden" of people's livelihood more stable and better, the second phase of the long-distance heating project of Shang'an Power Plant is in full swing towards the goal of "930". On March 21, the second phase of the long-distance heating project was successfully started. After it is put into operation, the total heating area of Shang'an Power Plant will reach 80 million square meters, and it will become the largest coal-fired power enterprise in Shijiazhuang City and the group company.

While playing the role of "safety support", Shang'an Power Plant adheres to high-quality development as the last word, strives to improve economic benefits, and solidly promotes high-quality and stable growth.

"Since the first quarter, not only has the power generation increased by 21.8% year-on-year, but the total profit has also increased by 37% year-on-year!" said Mu Pingping, assistant director of the plant's finance and pre-planning department, happily.

Since the beginning of this year, Shang'an Power Plant has been surging with the upsurge of "fighting for efficiency". "Our current business philosophy is to 'earn the money back first', to grab the power generation before the electricity price is lowered, so that the money can be 'put in the pocket'. Mu Pingping introduced. At the monthly business analysis meeting, everyone carried out special discussions around "grabbing power generation". The power plant has established an operation and management system of "financial pre-emptive leading, profit-centered, and benchmarking as the starting point", focusing on key operating elements such as leading and year-on-year improvement in coal price benchmarking, capacity and electricity fee income, and dynamically adjusting business strategies. Striving for power and grasping development, the development of Shang'an Power Plant is solid and powerful.

Innovation-driven, brave to be a "pathfinder"

Under the guidance of the "dual carbon" goal, the new energy territory of Shang'an Power Plant has been expanding, and the bank settlement account has surged accordingly. In the process of exporting bank statements, each company spent about 1 hour of manual checking, which made Chen Hourun, a salesman in the financial budget department, a headache.

The maintenance department helped to come up with a countermeasure. At the beginning of March, the automated reconciliation robot jointly developed by the two departments was put into operation. "More than 50 bank accounts can be automatically reconciled in 10 seconds, which is so convenient!" The automated reconciliation robot can automatically compare data and fill in bills, and generate reconciliation results instantly.

"We abandoned the original R&D method and wrote the program code in Python language at zero cost, which is expected to save 22,000 yuan per year. The computer class of the maintenance department Kang Peiyan introduced.

Coincidentally, the zero-cost automotive sampling auger bottoming rebound device independently developed by the Ministry of Fuel was put into use in early January, and the full-depth sampling of automobile coal was completely realized through the independent development of sensors and PLC logic.

Promote "fast improvement" with "small innovation", and stimulate new impetus with new models. In 2024, Shang'an Power Plant will focus on promoting the "five digital projects", and Kang Peiyan, who has developed automated reconciliation robots, has been the deputy leader of the data robot digitization project for only three years after entering the factory. "We must not only be the 'pathfinder' of the digital intelligence project, but also vigorously support young talents to 'take the lead'. Liu Wenzhi, Secretary of the Party Committee and Deputy Director of Shang'an Power Plant, said. To this end, the factory has specially launched 12 reserve posts for the operation department and maintenance department to promote the rapid growth of young talents.

In addition to broadening the promotion channels for all ages and fields, Shang'an Power Plant also plays a guiding role in the "dual channel" of technical skills and job sequences, and selects technical skill leaders, special technicians and other talents in various sequences. On January 10, Ma Guanglei, chief technician of the group company and electrical engineer of the production department of Shang'an Power Plant, was awarded the first expert of Hebei Branch to enjoy the special government allowance of the State Council.

On March 19, Shang'an Power Plant firmly seized the opportunity of cultivating and developing new quality productivity, and on March 19, the feasibility study of the "Research and Demonstration Application Project of New Thermal and Mass Energy Storage Energy Efficiency Improvement and Digital Twin Technology" passed the review of Hebei Branch. Relying on the advantages of many scenarios and talents, scientific and technological innovation, the "key variable" for a successful future, has gradually become the "largest increment" of high-quality development in Shang'an Power Plant.

Green development, striving to be a "leader"

As soon as the starting gun sounded, the ambition and pride of green development were ignited.

On the first day after the Lantern Festival, the 2024 new energy development work meeting of Shang'an Power Plant was held. The next day, Zanhuang's 400,000 kilowatt agricultural-photovoltaic power generation project held a mobilization meeting for resumption of work, which is a new energy project with the largest installed capacity and the highest investment developed and constructed by Huaneng in Hebei region. "110 people have arrived at the site for construction, and 16 machines have been put in place. Du Yanlou, deputy chief engineer of Shang'an Power Plant, introduced.

Huaneng Shang'an Power Plant: Decoding the road to "brilliance" of old thermal power

This old thermal power enterprise with a history of more than 30 years is accelerating into a new runway of transformation and development from a single thermal power plant to a national first-class comprehensive clean energy enterprise of "fire, heat, wind, solar and storage". At this time, Shang'an Power Plant set its sights on Chengde, Hebei Province, more than 500 kilometers away, and sent a strong army to step out of the wall of the large power plant and embark on the road of expedition to start a business and expand its territory.

The paddock, named after the emperor's hunting, has a unique natural ecology and geographical location that marks the distinctive imprint of the paddock's history, and also attracts Shang'an Power Plant to set up camp here and hunt for wind and light.

In January, all the land procedures for the construction of the 1.1 million kilowatt clean energy base project in the paddock of Shang'an Power Plant were approved by the provincial level, and four of the projects were approved in only 7 working days. "We have refreshed the fastest speed of provincial procedures for construction land for new energy projects in Hebei Province. Zhong Xuefei, project manager of the Chengde Development Department of the New Energy Department, said proudly.

The first one to go through is the provincial formalities for the construction of paddock affordable photovoltaic projects. "The pace of policy changes and adjustments is very fast, and we have to get the approval done before the policy changes. "It took only 2 days to complete the systematic filling of all the requirements, passed the review at all levels at one time, and reported it on the day before the new land database of the project land was launched, saving 1.05 million yuan in the cost of the cultivated land occupation and compensation balance index, which greatly encouraged the morale of the Shang'an Power Plant expedition to "start a business". Task, goal, responsibility...... After the plan is made, move and beat the drum to urge the recruitment.

Starting from spring, there is no room for delay. Shang'an Power Plant is full of new atmosphere of striving for the best and walking in the forefront, and aims to make the first quarter of the "Botou Lottery" into the whole year with a new attitude.
