There was a sudden power outage at home. I thought there was no electricity bill. After looking at the balance of the electricity bill, I also called the property management company many times. It turned out that the power supply was forced to close due to national restrictions on electricity use! The first areas where electricity was restricted were in the Northeast. Now, Hunan, Guangdong, and Jiangsu have also begun to experience power rationing. Many places have limited electricity and water. How can we, who usually consume excessive amounts of electricity, adapt? Aren’t there many ways to generate electricity? I thought our country had inexhaustible electricity. Why did the country suddenly restrict electricity use? Do you know why? Welcome to leave a message below the comment area!
1. Restrictions on electricity consumption are due to tight supply and demand for electricity.
Summer and winter are the seasons with the most electricity consumption. In fact, winter is better. In the north, heating is used in winter and air conditioning is rarely turned on, which will save some electricity. In summer, because the temperature is relatively high in many places, everyone used to blow fans in summer. Now with the improvement of economic strength, almost every household has air conditioners, and air conditioners definitely consume more electricity than electric fans. In our house, the air conditioner will be on all night when we sleep in the summer. As long as we turn off the air conditioner, it will be too hot to sleep. With so many people and so many air conditioners in the country, a lot of electricity is consumed in one summer. Although summer is over, Some areas in the south are still very hot, and the air conditioners are still turned on. The current electricity consumption is too tight and cannot meet the daily needs of the people, so we can only limit electricity consumption. When the tight situation is relieved, normal power supply will be restored!
2. The restriction on electricity consumption is due to the tight supply of coal.
Although there are now wind power, hydropower and other environmentally friendly forms of power generation, most of my country's power generation still relies on thermal power generation, and the main raw material for thermal power generation is coal. In the past few years, excessive coal mining has caused depletion of resources. Our local coal consumption cannot meet the country's daily needs, and we usually have to rely on imported coal to meet it. In addition, the current environmental protection regulations are very strict. Small merchants selling coal have been banned. There are fewer and fewer people doing coal business. On one side is environmental protection and on the other side is electricity consumption. In order to save energy and reduce emissions, electricity consumption can only be restricted first.
3. The cost of wind power generation is too high.
Wind power generators are rarely seen in cities because the generators are too large and are usually installed on mountains or villages. Although wind power generation is very environmentally friendly, a wind power generation equipment costs millions of dollars, and the effect of wind power generation is far inferior to that of thermal power generation. If you want to generate more electricity from wind power, you need to install more wind power generation equipment. The cost is too high, and it cannot be installed on a large area according to the current situation. Therefore, please save electricity on a daily basis so that normal electricity consumption can be restored as soon as possible.
