During the 14th Five-year Plan period,Yumen Oilfield took advantage of the nation's"carbon peak and carbon neut-rality"strategic opportunity to promote green low-carbon transition.The oilfield located new energy as the third main business after oil and gas exploration and development and oil refining business in the efforts to make full use of the regional abundant wind,solar and land resources,power grid and industrial and economic priorities.It adopted a series of measures to strengthen organization of the project,control the engineering progress and emphasize the construction quality,thus effectively and quickly completing CNPC's first concentrated photovoltaic power generation/grid connection project.After the power station was put into operation,a number of measures were taken to lower the operational cost with active involvement in electric power trading and continual efforts for enhanced maintenance and management.Focusing on the problems currently existing in operation of the power station,this paper comes up with some suggestion for further improvement of quality and efficiency.As of November 2003,electricity generated from the East Yumen 200 MW photovoltaic power station and connected to the grid was accumulated to exceed 7.5×108kW·h,achieving good economic performance by creating more than 70 million in profit.This project provides a duplicable and extendable"Yumen style"for construction of a traditional energy enterprise and operation of a concentrated photovoltaic power generation and grid connection project.
