In this golden autumn season, the project is bountiful. As the first ultra-high voltage (UHV) project to start construction during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period in Henan Province—the 1000 kV Nanyang-Jingmen-Changsha UHV AC Line (referred to as: Nanjing-Changsha UHV Project)—is entering its final sprint phase and is scheduled to be operational by mid-October. This project is an important part of the main grid structure of UHV lines in Central China, and after completion, it will significantly enhance the power exchange capacity and the safety and stability level of the power grid in the region.
01 Nanjing-Changsha UHV Project
The Nanjing-Changsha UHV Project is a crucial component of the "Sun" shaped loop network in Central China. The Henan section of this project starts from the 1000 kV UHV Nanyang Station and ends at the border between Tanghe County and Zaoyang City (border between Henan and Hubei Provinces), with a total line length of 101.162 kilometers and the establishment of 204 new towers. After completion, it will create a highway for electricity among Henan, Hubei, and Hunan provinces, significantly enhancing the power exchange capacity between these regions and playing a significant role in improving the grid structure of Central China and promoting regional economic and social development.
02 Far East Cable's 'Festival' Power Protection
As a global leader in the cable industry, subsidiaries of Far East Smart Energy Co., Ltd. (referred to as: Far East Shares, Stock Code: 600869) such as Far East Cable have actively participated in key national power grid projects, providing energy-saving conductor products worth hundreds of millions of yuan. Additionally, highly skilled technical engineers were dispatched to multiple sections of the construction site to strictly oversee the safe installation of energy-saving conductors, fully safeguarding the construction of the Nanjing-Changsha UHV Project.
High Transmission Efficiency
Far East Cable's self-developed energy-saving conductors greatly improve the current carrying capacity of individual wires, thereby significantly enhancing the safety of line operation and the transmission efficiency over long distances;
Environmentally Friendly
To achieve the "dual carbon" goals, energy-saving conductors also effectively improve wire corrosion resistance and reduce the impact of electrical energy loss on residential environments, making them environmentally friendly and energy-saving products;
Optimized Cost Savings
With reduced transmission losses and improved transmission and operational efficiency, energy-saving conductors help lower investment and operating costs for power grid projects, contributing significantly to transforming economic development patterns and promoting industrial restructuring.
Owing to strong R&D capabilities, technological levels, and notable socio-economic benefits, Far East Cable's energy-saving conductor products/technologies have been awarded several honors including the China Patent Award, Jiangsu Science and Technology Award, and the First Prize of China Nonferrous Metals Industry Science and Technology Award.
03 New Era, New Journey
Partial images of UHV project sites show that so far, Far East's series of UHV cables have been successfully applied to more than 30 UHV transmission lines including the "Baihetan-Zhejiang ±800 kV UHV DC Project", "Baihetan-Jiangsu ±800 kV UHV DC Project", "Weifang-Linyi-Zaozhuang-Heze-Shijiazhuang 1000 kV UHV AC Project", "Qinghai-Henan, Northern Shaanxi-Wuhan ±800 kV UHV DC Project", and "Yazhong-Jiangxi ±800 kV UHV DC Transmission Line Project". These projects cover 16 provinces including Guangdong, Inner Mongolia, Jiangsu, and Xinjiang, achieving large-capacity, low-loss, high-security, efficient, and long-distance power transmission. In the future, Far East Cable will continue to actively deploy new power systems, strengthen product R&D and innovation, and deepen cooperation in various fields such as energy security supply, power grid infrastructure construction, power equipment industry development, socioeconomic green transformation, and achieving the "dual carbon" goals. By providing high-quality power cables, it aims to contribute to high-quality development and enrich lives, making greater contributions to the overall development of the country and celebrating the successful convening of the 20th CPC National Congress with outstanding achievements.
