Study On Power Plant Operation And Management About The Complex Economic Situation

Since2002, China’s electricity system reform has been going on for over a decade,realizing separation between plant and state grid, between major industry and minorindustry, as well as independent supervision. During the decade, the electricityindustry experienced price fluctuations of coal and electricity and great progress ofwind and photovoltaic power generation. At the same time, the government carriedout pilot projects about on-grid price bidding, direct supply for VIP consumers andother methods in order to help power generation enterprises adapt to China’scomplex economic situation in recent years and to realize harmonious developmentof electricity industry.This study, citing a power plant in eastern Inner Mongolia as an example, isfocused on contradiction between coal and electricity, the impact of large scale windpower on thermal power, and economic operation and management of plantequipment. Based on the operation cost, the study further analyzes how coal pricesaffect the operation cost according to the financial data of recent years. From theaspects of external conditions and internal operation, the study also discusses how athermal power plant profit. At last, the study looks at the various methods that areused to improve the efficiency and the utilization of generator sets, includingoptimizing the operation mode of auxiliary generator set, technologicalmodification of the existing equipment, and perfecting fuel supply methods, tofinally reach the goal of profit maximization.
