Chapter 209: Another village has a bright future
Just now, the inspection team of Nanjing Electric Group came and left quietly, without taking away one page of the contract.
Microbial fuel cell technology and the power grid system are ultimately incompatible. In terms of application direction and raw material acquisition, it is not suitable to become part of the power grid peak regulation.
Although the power generation cost of microbial fuel cells can be compressed to 0.12∽0.15 yuan per kilowatt hour once the scale of microbial fuel cells is increased, the cost of power generation is not actually the first factor for the power grid, but stability is the first factor.
Whether it is stable power generation or stable fuel supply, this is the technology that the power grid likes.
Although microbial fuel cell technology can generate stable power if applied to large-scale farms, large-scale farms will not easily sell livestock excrement unless they build their own microbial fuel cell power stations.
Moreover, Nanjing Electric Power Group also considered another issue. If it is used as a peak-shaving power station, it means that the power station operates at low efficiency for most of the time, which invisibly increases the cost.
The power grid is not a power generation company, so why should they sacrifice themselves for others?
Build a peaking power station yourself just to make it cheaper for new energy power generation companies?
After much deliberation, Nanjing Electric Power Co., Ltd. felt that it would be better to use the on-grid electricity quota of Kanew Energy Power Generation Enterprises, which would result in lower costs.
The fundamental reason is that microbial fuel cell technology can adjust peak demand, but it requires a price, and the power grid does not want to bear this price.
Those new energy power generation companies also do not have this idea. It is not that they are arrogant, but that many new energy companies have studied Hailufeng's technology some time ago.
They found that the power generation capacity of this technology was too small. Although the scale of battery boxes could be continuously increased, a large and stable supply of organic matter could be found by increasing the number of battery boxes. This was the fundamental reason why these new energy companies retreated.
The Nandian team left.
Other new energy companies are deterred.
But that doesn’t mean other companies will remain indifferent.
Except for Wen's Group, which adopts a semi-free range breeding model, other domestic pig raising companies, after studying microbial fuel cell technology, have discovered that this technology is simply tailor-made for their large-scale breeding industries.
Soon New Hope Group, Muyuan Group, and Twins Group all sent professional teams to the headquarters of Hailufeng Company to inspect technology.
As for other companies, it is not that they have no ideas, but Hailufeng Company has relevant notices on its official website, stating that this technology will not cooperate with foreign companies.
And even if there is cooperation, the production base can only be in China. At the same time, these production bases must be controlled by Hailufeng Company, and casual visits and taking things out of them are not allowed.
In fact, the power-generating bacteria currently in use is a second-generation version jointly improved by Jiang Miao and Lin Shuya. This second-generation power-generating bacteria has a special mechanism of self-apoptosis. Once there is no supply of special nutrients, these power-generating bacteria will In the process of reproduction, they quickly die.
On the one hand, this mechanism is to avoid the leakage of power-generating bacteria, and on the other hand, it is to avoid being stolen.
At the same time, this is also the starting point for Hailufeng Company to take advantage of other breeding companies.
The core of the entire microbial fuel cell technology is the power-generating bacteria that can reproduce quickly. Without the special bacterial strain package produced by Hailufeng Company, the power-generating bacteria that are already multiplying in the microbial fuel cell will die on their own after 20 days of reproduction. The method is to use these power-generating bacteria as strains.
Jiang Miao does not intend to cooperate with foreign companies because he does not intend to fund enemies.
Microbial fuel cell technology is actually very suitable for areas with backward industrial bases. Even if there are no large-scale breeding farms, stable power generation can be achieved through dead branches and leaves from forests and straw from farmland.
Although Hailufeng Company says that the battery box is designed to have a service life of 30 years, in fact, if properly maintained, the system can run for hundreds of years without any problems. As long as the graphite plate, manganese monoxide electrode, and some electronics are replaced every thirty years, Components, sensors, etc. can continue to be used.
After all, the core component of the battery box is the ceramic liner. Unless the ceramic liner is smashed or touched, it can be used stably for hundreds of years without any major problems.
The plastic shell will age, but the aging time is very long. There will be no problem if it persists for at least thirty years, and it can also be replaced regularly.
There is a very special thing about microbial fuel cell technology, that is, other systems of this technology can be simplified or even discarded directly.
For example, sensors, electronic control systems, etc. can be used with a simple transformer rectifier system and a battery box.
This means that microbial fuel cells can still be used in very simple environments.
Therefore, Jiang Miao deliberately made the bacteria unable to reproduce normally and created a lot of special environmental conditions in order to increase the technical difficulty of being reproduced.
It is undeniable that Jiang Miao's actions will prevent people in other backward areas from obtaining cheap and convenient electricity, but he has never been a person who treats everyone equally, and he cannot love everyone.
As a normal person, he has normal emotions and emotions, and naturally has preferences and dislikes. This is normal.
Microbial fuel cell technology is suitable for backward areas, but the backwardness of backward areas is not caused by us. This technology will not make the other party rich, but may be stolen by Western forces.
Restricting the spread of technology to foreign countries is what Jiang Miao has been doing.
If ordinary vegetable and fruit seeds are stolen, the problem is actually not that big, but if fairy bean seeds and power-generating bacteria strains are stolen, the negative impact will be very large.
For example, our neighbors in the southwest have huge populations. Once the other party solves the food problem, it may cause the other party's strength to rise rapidly.
This kind of result is not what Jiang Miao wants to see.
He left several preparations in order to counterattack these areas.
Although these areas are terrible in all aspects, it is undeniable that the other party does have a lot of potential. Although these areas are like mud at the moment, it is not a reason for us to despise the other party.
Regarding technology export, Jiang Miao has a very conservative attitude, that is, key technologies should not be exported as much as possible to avoid capitalizing on the enemy.
This world is so realistic.
You treat others as your friends, and others treat you as your villain.
Some places are not worth helping. It is better to let them stay in the original forests and prairie like mud and continue to maintain their primitive life of slash and burn farming.
We just have to be ourselves.
…
January 8th.
Zhang Haitao, who accompanied Gu Haijing and Gu Baiming as they inspected the biofuel base in Pinghe Town, gave them a brief introduction to the base and how the technology was applied.
Gu Baiming, who had taken over the daily management of Haijing Company, asked with some uncertainty: "Manager Zhang, I have some questions. Can you help me answer them?"
"Mr. Gu, tell me straight away. As long as I know something that doesn't involve company secrets, I will tell you everything." Zhang Haitao added some tea to their teacups.
"Then I'll get it straight." Gu Baiming immediately expressed his doubts: "Your company's microbial fuel cell technology is indeed good, but why not use a large pond similar to a biogas fermentation tank? This should reduce a lot of costs. Right? ”
When Zhang Haitao heard this, he knew that Gu Baiming was not a professional. He smiled and explained:
"Mr. Gu, it's not that we don't use it, but the battery box with an extremely large volume will reduce the effective utilization rate of organic matter. One cubic meter is a relatively suitable volume. This is a requirement in the reaction process of the microbial fuel cell technology itself. The volume of the reaction vessel cannot be too large.”
"I see." When Gu Baiming heard this, he knew that he was thinking too much. After all, Hailufeng Company must have studied what specifications of containers to use, and naturally they would not make such a stupid mistake.
He took a sip of tea to relieve his inner embarrassment, then changed the subject and asked:
"Manager Zhang, do you think our company can use this technology?"
Zhang Haitao shook his head: "Your company does not have that much waste organic matter. If you want to use this technology, unless there is a large and stable source of organic matter, I do not recommend that you build a biofuel power station."
Gu Haijing on the side also showed a troubled expression: "Hey! If I hadn't made a lot of money in aquaculture in the past two years, I would have wanted to dismantle the photovoltaic panels on the farm."
After hearing this topic, Zhang Haitao thought for a moment and realized that the other party was probably worried about the power grid quota: "Oh? Is it because the power grid doesn't provide grid quota?"
At this point, Gu Haijing looked helpless: "Yes! The power grid only gives 50% of the quota. Now my company's farms and factories cannot absorb so much unstable electricity, so they can only waste it in vain. The investment cost is unknown. You can come back later.”
Zhang Haitao also looked helpless: "There is no way. Now all new energy power generation companies across the country are similar. Some places only require 30% of the quota, or even directly deny access to the Internet."
Gu Haijing also expressed his thoughts: "Originally, I planned to see if your company's microbial fuel cell technology could adjust the power generation to allow the power grid to provide more grid quota. But now it seems that I thought too much. ”
Suddenly, Zhang Haitao fell into deep thought.
When Gu Haijing saw this scene, he immediately pulled his son who wanted to speak.
After a while, Zhang Haitao raised his head: "Sorry, something just occurred to me. In fact, it is possible to solve your company's situation."
Gu Baiming couldn't hold back his temper and asked hurriedly: "Oh? What can Manager Zhang do?" "You should know about algae, right?"
"You know, many of our farms have to regularly clean up the algae that has reproduced."
"Then I wonder how to treat the wastewater from your farm?"
Gu Baiming replied directly: "We filter and reuse it. After all, fresh water also costs money."
"What about the sludge after filtering?"
"Generally, it is piled directly on nearby farmland or ponds. This stuff has good nutrition and is very fertile."
"Our company has actually developed a set of corresponding technologies, but your conditions can only use a simple version."
"I wonder what technology it is?" Gu Baiming became more and more curious.
"It is to use aquaculture wastewater to grow algae, and then use the algae as fuel for microbial fuel cells."
“This shouldn’t be very efficient, right?”
This book was recently updated in ##六@@九@@书@@!! Updated!
"It's really not high, especially the simple version. It basically depends on the weather. The input-output ratio is very small, and it may even result in losses."
"That's really a pity." Gu Baiming was disappointed.
This is also a common problem encountered by many new energy+ companies. Wind power and photovoltaic power generation are too unstable. The power grid only provides about 30% of the grid quota, and the remaining power must be used by themselves or wasted.
But for your own use, this kind of unstable electricity will still cause serious losses even through regulating equipment and power storage systems.
For breeding enterprises, it is better. As long as the unstable power consumption is not too serious, it is barely acceptable.
But for those processing plants that need to ensure accuracy, they absolutely stay away from this kind of unstable electricity.
The power generation capacity of power generation companies is very large, but the grid quota is not large.
The fundamental reason is that the power fluctuations of these new energy power generation companies are too large, and the power grid dare not hard-wire them, otherwise the power grid will be paralyzed in minutes.
Nowadays, to solve the problem of connecting new energy power generation to the Internet, power generation companies still need to prepare their own power storage systems to achieve healthy development.
If we wait for the power grid to solve the problem, the power grid will have one attitude - limit the access to the Internet.
Because grid access is limited, it is the most cost-effective solution for the power grid. Anyway, the waste of power generated by new energy power generation companies is a loss for the new energy power generation companies, not a loss of electricity from the grid.
If the power grid bails out new energy power generation companies, the power grid will suffer heavy losses.
Moreover, thermal power and hydropower companies are also full of complaints about new energy power generation companies. Although there are capacity subsidies, in order to take care of photovoltaic and wind power, the effective power generation time of thermal power and hydropower has dropped a lot every year, and the unit power generation cost has increased a lot.
All in all, the only way out for new energy power generation companies now is to build their own energy storage systems and ensure the stability of power supply, which can be accepted by the grid.
But now many new energy power generation companies are heavily in debt. They have to invest money in energy storage systems. Obviously, this is a high-risk investment for many new energy power generation companies.
Therefore, many new energy power generation companies would rather bear the waste of 70% power abandonment than spend money to build energy storage systems.
Just like the Seaview Company in front of me.
When I invested in the construction in the past, I thought that using the open space and water surface of the farm could generate electricity and reduce the water surface temperature, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
But now that he came back to his senses, Gu Haijing realized that he didn't know when the investment would be repaid, especially after the grid card access limit, which further lengthened the repayment period.
But the payback cycle is lengthening, which means risks are soaring.
After all, photovoltaic panels will age, and as time goes by, the power generation efficiency of photovoltaic panels will become less and less.
And as time goes by, the probability of encountering typhoons will become greater and greater. As long as the photovoltaic power plant encounters a typhoon head-on, losses will definitely be inevitable.
After Gu Haijing came to his senses, he realized that photovoltaic power generation + ecological farming was simply a sinkhole.
If it weren't for following Hailufeng Company and making a lot of money in the past two years, Haijing Company would probably have run into problems.
Since last year, Haijing Company has stopped the construction of photovoltaic projects and continued to focus on aquaculture, thus changing its previous loss-making state.
Just as several people were discussing the worrying future of photovoltaic power generation, Zhang Haitao suddenly received a call from Zhang Xincheng.
Zhang Haitao, who came back after hearing the call, said directly to Gu Haijing and his son: "Mr. Gu, Vice President Zhang of our company is looking for you. It should be a good thing for you to come to our headquarters."
"Good thing? I'll be there right away." Gu Baiming's face was filled with joy.
However, the experienced Gu Haijing asked: "Manager Zhang, which Vice President Zhang is he?"
After all, there are so many senior executives in Hailufeng Company. If you don't ask them clearly and rush over there, it will be even more troublesome when the time comes.
Zhang Haitao reacted: "Sorry, I didn't make it clear. It's Zhang Xincheng who is in charge of the aquaculture business department."
As soon as he heard about Zhang Xincheng, Gu Haijing knew it. After saying goodbye to Zhang Haitao, he hurried to Magong Town with his son.
Less than an hour.
The two cars of Gu Haijing and his son arrived at Xiaonanshan near the Changshawan Expressway intersection, which is also the new headquarters of Hailufeng Company.
After meeting Zhang Xincheng.
Only two people knew what was going on.
"...That's it, no problem, I agree to cooperate." Gu Haijing made a decision directly.
Zhang Xincheng stretched out his hand: "Then it will be a pleasure to cooperate."
"It's a pleasure to work together. I would like to thank Mr. Zhang and Mr. Jiang for their care." Gu Haijing shook hands with gratitude.
Gu Baiming had no objection at all.
Soon the two parties signed a cooperation agreement.
This cooperation project means that Haijing Company will package all the photovoltaic power generation equipment of Lufeng Breeding Base and cooperate with Hailufeng Company to establish a photovoltaic power generation enterprise.
90% of the company's shares belong to Haijing Company and 10% of the shares belong to Hailufeng Company. However, Hailufeng Company has the controlling right and Haijing Company has the right to supervise and distribute dividends.
The reason for adopting this model is to avoid some regulatory issues in the power system.
Therefore, this joint venture is nominally a subsidiary of Hailufeng Company.
In this way, the power generated by the company can be directly handed over to Hailufeng Company for use without having to be passed through by the power grid.
And Haijing Company has no losses, because the large aquaculture base of Hailufeng Company in Lufeng has huge refrigeration power, which can just use Haijing Company's excess photovoltaic power for cooling, and the internal electricity price is 0.15 yuan per kilowatt hour.
Both Gu Haijing and his son are willing to accept this electricity price. After all, if the photovoltaic electricity is not sold to Hailufeng Company, it will be wasted.
Naturally, Hailufeng Company chose this cooperation not just to help Haijing Company.
Through this cooperation, cheap electricity can be obtained, and the investment in building power generation facilities is reduced. In addition, the two companies’ breeding base in Lufeng is separated by a town, less than 30 kilometers away, and an independent cable can be laid. .
This is a win-win project.
