The plain is covered with white snow, and dozens of wind turbines are laid out along the undulating terrain, with silver white wind turbine blades tracing beautiful curves in the air. About 50 kilometers away from Astana, the capital of Kazakhstan, the Akmola wind power project group invested and constructed by Chinese enterprises is operating at full capacity, delivering green electricity to thousands of households and adding warmth to the harsh winter weather. This project group is a microcosm of the high-quality development of China Central Asia cooperation. In Uzbekistan, the Tashkent solar energy storage project's energy storage station has been successfully connected to the grid, starting to serve the Uzbekistan power grid; In Kyrgyzstan, the completion and operation of the Bishkek municipal waste to energy power generation project filled the technical gap in the field of waste energy treatment in Central Asia... In the past year, the China Central Asia mechanism construction has become increasingly perfect, and the high-quality co construction of the "the Belt and Road" cooperation has steadily progressed. The two sides have worked together to promote green and low-carbon cooperation, and created a number of clean energy and environmental protection projects, which not only improved the level of local new energy infrastructure, but also made positive contributions to environmental protection and people's livelihood improvement. The reporter arrived at the Akmola wind power project site by car, learning about wind power operation, maintenance, and safety management in a real production environment. Shortly after getting off the car, a layer of frost formed on his eyebrows and eyelashes, and his vision immediately blurred. His eyes could hardly blink, and his hands and feet began to be unresponsive. Quickly enter the room, quickly enter the room! "Cai Huiyong, the head of the project department, walked forward and called on the reporter to quickly enter the office. The temperature today is minus 30 degrees Celsius, not even the coldest. ”Cai Huiyong told reporters that the lowest temperature in Akmola Prefecture during winter can reach minus 40 degrees Celsius, and there is also snowfall, wind blown snow, etc., which brings difficulties to the operation of wind power equipment. How to solve the problem of wind turbine icing is the key to the operation of wind power equipment in cold regions. Cai Huiyong said that the project greatly reduced the ice adhesion rate by optimizing the blade manufacturing process and increasing the surface smoothness of the blades. At the same time, through the control system, the wind turbine was started regularly under the premise of evaluating safety. By rotating and throwing ice, the impact of icing was effectively reduced. "Last year, despite the overall wind conditions in the local area being worse than in previous years, the project still generated 809 million kilowatt hours of electricity, exceeding the annual power generation task." Ye Deli, the production supervisor of the project department, is from Astana and studied Chinese at Xi'an Foreign Studies University. After graduation, he joined the project department and initially worked mainly as a translator before being promoted to production supervisor. According to him, the overall new energy industry in Kazakhstan is in its infancy, and the reserve of relevant talents is very limited. The landing and operation of the Akmola wind power project group provides a platform for local talent cultivation. Many students who graduated from Astana universities came to work on the project and systematically studied wind power operation, maintenance, and safety management in a real production environment, significantly improving their technical skills and professional level, "said Ye Deli. The Akmola wind power project group is operated by Kazakhstan Energy Investment Company, established by China State Power Investment Corporation (hereinafter referred to as "State Power Investment"). The employees on the project are basically trained from scratch, through 'full process participation+mentoring', allowing employees to participate in the entire process from equipment installation, commissioning, grid connection to operation and maintenance, forming first-hand experience, and continuously supplementing theoretical knowledge through systematic training. Cai Huiyong said that State Power Investment Corporation has established a regular training mechanism, with three project department heads and production technology department managers taking turns teaching. Every year, excellent local employees are also selected to participate in new energy field skills training in China. Last year, I went to Changshu City, Jiangsu Province, China to participate in skills training and learned some of the latest theoretical knowledge and operational experience, which I also shared with my colleagues around me. ”Ye Deli said. Stepping out of the office area, the site has been covered with thick snow after the heavy snowfall. Technician Sabal and his colleagues are working hard to clear the snow so that maintenance personnel can arrive at various fan locations in a timely manner. Sabal was once an electrician who received systematic training after entering the project, mastering the structure and operation process of wind power equipment. He told reporters, "China has accumulated rich experience in the field of wind power. Not only is the equipment mature, but the management system is also perfect. During the exchange, the Chinese team taught us advanced technical concepts and working methods, which is very helpful for improving the professional ability of local workers." "What is stored here is not only electrical energy, but also confidence in urban development." In the evening, under the sunset, rows of silver white energy storage battery compartments are neatly arranged, and the indicator lights keep flashing. At the end of last year, the energy storage station of the Uzbekistan Tashkent Light Storage Project, which was contracted and constructed by China Energy Engineering Corporation, achieved full capacity grid connection. This "breathing" energy matrix has become a stable and reliable source of electricity reserves for Tashkent. Energy storage stations are like giant power banks, allowing green electricity to no longer rely on the weather. ”Nurlan, an engineer of Tashkent Photovoltaic Storage Project, introduced that this project is an important strategic supporting project of Tashkent New City, which includes a 200 MW photovoltaic power station and a 500 MWh energy storage system. It can fully leverage the synergistic advantages of "photovoltaic+energy storage", effectively regulate the load during peak electricity consumption periods, and provide a reliable "stabilizer" for the urban power grid. Inside the energy storage station, the temperature control, fire protection, gas monitoring, and linkage protection systems in the battery compartment operate in real-time. All key parameters are centrally monitored through the central control platform to ensure stable operation of the equipment under high safety standards. When the command center issues a dispatch instruction, the energy storage system automatically switches to the operating state, and the battery management system, energy management system, and converter equipment work together to stably release the collected electricity. Nurlan said that the project is equipped with 280 energy storage battery compartments, which can store up to 770000 kilowatt hours of green electricity at once. Considering an 85% charging and discharging efficiency, during periods of power supply shortage, a single discharge can meet the daily electricity consumption of nearly 100000 households. On the side of the energy storage station, safety trainer Alev from the project department is organizing pre shift safety training. He is not only responsible for the safety education of frontline employees, but also bears the important responsibility of communicating and coordinating with surrounding communities for the project. The energy storage station has extremely high requirements for safety management, and the Chinese team has helped us establish a systematic and strict management system. "Alev said that the project department regularly introduces engineering safety measures to the surrounding communities, enhances understanding and trust, and communication between enterprises and communities is smooth, and the cooperation atmosphere is also more harmonious." From equipment risk identification, emergency drills to community communication mechanisms, I have learned not only technology, but also concepts, which is very meaningful for my personal career development. "The construction of the Tashkent solar storage project has brought more stable employment opportunities to surrounding residents, and the project team has also visited the surrounding communities multiple times to carry out public welfare activities such as family condolences and educational support. Cleaning staff Mokalam told reporters, "The project is located near my home, so I don't have to go to the city to work part-time anymore. My income has become much more stable." As night falls, the energy storage station operates quietly, continuously storing electricity for the city. What is stored here is not only electricity, but also confidence in urban development, "Nurlan said. In the suburbs of Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan, there is a modern building with bright colors and a strong sense of design that aims to generate sustainable and stable green electricity by turning waste into treasure. It's hard for first-time visitors to imagine that this is actually a waste to energy plant. At the end of last year, the Bishkek garbage incineration power generation project invested, constructed and operated by Hunan Junxin Environmental Protection Co., Ltd. was completed and put into operation, helping the local solid waste treatment to take a crucial step from "simple landfill" to "recycling", quietly changing the "smell" and appearance of the city. We receive daily household waste from various parts of Bishkek, recycle it for power generation, and greatly alleviate the problem of urban landfill. ”Medterbekova, a laboratory analyst for the power generation project, said that over the years, the Bishkek landfill has been expanding, and the garbage mountain has been piling up higher and higher. The occurrence of spontaneous combustion of garbage is frequent, accompanied by strong and unpleasant odors, seriously affecting the city's appearance and causing inconvenience to surrounding residents. Nowadays, with the stable operation of waste incineration power generation projects, this odor has been significantly eliminated, and the urban environmental conditions have been improved. Unlike traditional coal-fired power generation models, this waste incineration power generation project uses clean incineration technology to convert household waste into green electricity, which is integrated into the national power grid of Kyrgyzstan, providing a supplement to industrial and residential power supply, especially during the current winter electricity shortage period, demonstrating significant value. At present, the daily garbage treatment scale of the project is 1000 tons, with an annual grid connected electricity of about 146 million kilowatt hours, and an annual carbon reduction of up to 100000 tons. The deputy general manager of the power generation project, Yan Wuyue, stated that the project not only has environmental benefits, but also has energy security significance. "By 'turning waste into treasure' to generate sustainable and stable green electricity, it not only achieves waste reduction, resource utilization, and harmless treatment, but also provides a new path for optimizing the urban energy structure. From "garbage siege" to "garbage power generation", from environmental burden to energy asset, the concept of green development is helping to make urban life cleaner, safer, more livable, and more sustainable. Kyrgyzstan President Zaparov highly praised that the implementation of the project will promote the resolution of waste disposal issues, facilitate electricity production, create employment opportunities, improve the ecological environment of Bishkek, and contribute to ensuring residents' access to electricity.
