Miles¡¯ roars came one after another in the private room, frightening the waiters outside to the point where they all turned pale.
As for Cai Weiguo and others in the private room, they were even more frightened, but no one said anything to stop him. The reason is simple. If Cao Jiefang was having fun as Miles said, then Miles should be happy. , and then calmly let Wei Hui, the mouthpiece, expose Cao Jiefang's lies, thus making Ascendas Group lose face in front of the people of the country.
But now Miles is like a resentful woman whose husband was snatched away by a vixen, angry and hoarse. Obviously Cao Jiefang's remarks in the interview directly poked Miles's weakness and hit the vital point of GE. Otherwise, what would happen? Maybe this is the reaction?
?This is indeed the case.
There are currently only two air energy storage power stations in the world. One is the Hentof Power Station in Germany, which was put into operation in 1979; the other is the McKinlish Power Station built in Alabama in 1991.
However, both Hentoff Power Station and McKinlish Power Station use natural gas as the fuel retardant for gas turbines, and the compressed air stored in underground abandoned mines is only used as an auxiliary medium for natural gas combustion.
Because of this, not only do the two power stations achieve zero emissions, but their thermal efficiency is also similar to that of a traditional gas turbine-natural gas power generation combination, maintaining between 50% and 55%.
But this does not prevent Germany and the United States from promoting this type of development model as an advanced environmental protection model. The problem is that countries or business organizations with a certain vision can see through the essence of the American and German models at a glance.
Reusing abandoned mines is just a gimmick. Natural gas combined with gas turbine power generation is the essence.
If there is any difference, it is that Germany and the United States will use industrial gas turbines with higher thermal efficiency in air energy storage power stations.
The problem is that this kind of useless improvement is expensive and has no effect at all. Anyway, it uses natural gas to generate electricity. Why should we spend two or three times more money to repair a power station in an abandoned mine? As long as the natural gas supply is sufficient, wouldn't it be nice to build a cheap ordinary power station?
This is also an important reason why after the United States and Germany launched air energy storage power stations, there were so many admirers, but few actually got into the trap. After all, there are many countries with online IQs in the world, and no one has any reason to do it. Germany's scapegoat.
However, Ascendas Group's truly zero-emission air energy storage power station is different. A large amount of heat energy generated during the use of compressed air is stored through a heat converter. When power generation is needed, the heat converter is used to heat the air to make it It reaches a high temperature of hundreds or thousands of degrees; then it is introduced into a gas turbine to drive the turbine to rotate and do work, and finally generates electricity through a generator.
There is no fossil fuel produced in the entire composition, and it is completely a thermodynamic conversion that even junior high school students can understand.
The problem is that it is such a simple mutual conversion principle, but it is extremely difficult to actually implement it.
First of all, the efficiency of the air compressor must be particularly high, otherwise it will not be possible to compress the air with high thermal energy, and naturally it will not be able to effectively convert thermal energy.
Secondly, the energy dissipation of the heat exchanger must be controlled at an extremely low level. That is to say, after the heat energy of the compressed air is absorbed by the heat exchanger, it can maintain an extremely high temperature for a long time, so that it can be heated effectively. Compressed air used to generate electricity.
Finally, and the most critical thing is to fully understand the various technologies of the gas turbine, especially the combustion chamber, because this type of ultra-high heat source imported from the outside is also called an external combustion chamber in the field of gas turbines. If the relevant production unit If the understanding of all aspects of the gas turbine is not accurate enough, the installation of such an external combustion chamber will easily cause the thermal efficiency of the gas turbine to decrease, resulting in unsatisfactory efficiency of the entire generator set.
In short, this type of zero-emission air energy storage power station is just like an aero engine. In addition to its simple principle, every other node is a super difficult point that can completely disappear the engineer's hairline.
If this were not the case, wouldn¡¯t the United States and Germany want zero emissions?
It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to, but the technical requirements are too high and the implementation is too difficult. I really can¡¯t do it.
As a result, Ascendas Group has not only achieved this technology that even the United States and Germany cannot achieve, but its thermal efficiency is also very good. According to Cao Jiefang, it can reach about 55%, and it can be further increased to 60% in the future.
Even though Miles feels that the values ??of 55% and 60% are somewhat distorted, based on the efficiency of a gas turbine, a thermal efficiency of 40% to 45% is still possible.
Calculated based on the minimum value of 40%, the attractiveness to some specific regions and countries is also terrifyingly high.
Because this zero-emission air energy storageThe station does not require any fossil fuels. It only uses compressed air to seal the heat transfer medium in the heat exchanger, which can be used as a super-large energy storage battery for cities or large enterprises, providing them with a steady stream of electricity.
¡°This is no longer a simple environmental issue for those specific countries and regions. The life cycle fuel costs alone can save tens of millions of dollars.
You must know that this is just a simple cost savings from fuel prices. If you want to transport natural gas or oil to a power station, you need to build an oil and gas pipeline. Do the construction costs have to be included?
Do pipelines need regular maintenance?
Should maintenance costs be included?
In addition to pipelines, natural gas and oil also need to be stored, and the storage warehouse construction and maintenance costs are a lot of money.
Adding up the bits and pieces, the savings over the entire life cycle are not just tens of millions of dollars, but hundreds of millions of dollars.
With such a cost-effective savings effect here, let alone a thermal efficiency of 40%, even if it is only 30%, certain countries and regions will rush to get it.
So the question is, will Ascendas Group swallow up this market in one go?
Based on Myers¡¯ long-term observation of Ascendas Group, not to mention the air energy storage power station market, but also the entire global gas turbine market, Ascendas Group is ready to pounce and take a few bites.
With such a good opportunity right in front of us, it would be strange if Ascendas Group didn¡¯t take it.
But in this way, ge will not only fail to contain Ascendas Group, but may even lose a considerable market share to Ascendas Group in future competition.
What¡¯s even more terrible is that in the face of Ascendas Group¡¯s zero-emission air energy storage power station, ge is completely helpless. It doesn¡¯t even have products to compete, let alone stop it.
On the contrary, Ascendas Group can use this to enter the US and European markets, and in turn harvest the leeks in the backyards of GE and Siemens.
And this is why Myers uncharacteristically yelled that Cao Jiefang was lying. There was no way, even if it wasn't a lie, it was still a lie, otherwise the matter would have spread to the GE headquarters in the United States, and he, the vice president who led the suppression of Ascendas Group, would not even mention his opponent. If he doesn't know about such an important technical achievement, then he doesn't need to hang out in ge anymore, he can just leave with everything he needs!
