Anhui Power Transmission to the East refers to the transmission of electricity from Anhui Electric Power Company in China to the east, with thermal power generation as the main power generation mode. There are several reasons for this power generation mode.

First of all, thermal power generation is stable and flexible, especially suitable for basic power supply. Compared with non-adjustable energy sources such as wind power and photovoltaic power generation, thermal power can be dispatched when necessary to ensure the stable operation of the power grid. At the same time, the construction cost of thermal power station is relatively low. Compared with nuclear power or hydropower, thermal power is relatively flexible in planning and construction, so it is also suitable for basic power supply.

Secondly, regional economy and power demand are important reasons for choosing thermal power generation. As a densely populated area, the eastern cities have a high demand for electricity, which also determines their demand for basic electricity supply.

Thermal power generation can meet these needs at a relatively low cost and promote local economic development. At the same time, due to the relatively weak natural gas transmission capacity and high natural gas price in the eastern region, thermal power generation has advantages over other non-fossil energy sources in manufacturing cost control.

Finally, the continuous upgrading of thermal power generation technology is also one of the reasons for choosing thermal power generation. Thermal power generation technology is constantly upgrading. Through the improvement of fuel and the application of new technology, the efficiency and benefit of thermal power generation have been greatly improved. At the same time, the emission level of key emissions such as carbon dioxide has been controlled, and a lot of efforts have been made in environmental protection.

But with the progress of time and technology, the thermal power generation industry has made many attempts. At present, different thermal power plants have taken many environmental protection measures, such as increasing denitration and dust removal equipment to ensure the reduction of pollutants such as oxides and pm2.5

In a word, the above is the reason why the power transmission from Anhui to East is mainly based on thermal power. In addition to thermal power generation, other forms of renewable energy are gradually increasing, and people pay more and more attention to it.

In the future, the change of power supply and demand may further strengthen the connection between regional power demand and power supply. These trends show that thermal power generation will continue to play an important role in China and bring more opportunities to the energy industry chain.
