Zhongyuan Oilfield's first rooftop photovoltaic power generation project achieves carbon neutrality

 On June 2, the reporter came to Zhongyuan Oilfield Thermal Branch to inspect the first rooftop photovoltaic power generation project in Zhongyuan Oilfield
.
On the roof of the office building, photovoltaic panels are evenly distributed
.

It is understood that Zhongyuan Oilfield has installed 220 photovoltaic panels supporting double-sided power generation in the Zhongyuan Oilfield Thermal Branch
.
As of June 1, the project has generated a total of 228,133 kWh, and the total installed capacity of the power station is 99 kW
.

Under China's "dual carbon" goal, low-carbon practices such as "new energy +" have been continuously implemented in the oil field
.
After the transformation of rooftop photovoltaic power generation, in July 2020, Zhongyuan Oilfield independently invested in the construction of a photovoltaic power generation pilot project on the roof of the office building of the thermal branch to provide electricity for the company's office system
.

In the nearly two years since it was put into production, the project is currently running well
.
The project adopts the mode of "self-generated and self-consumption, and the surplus power is connected to the Internet", which realizes uninterrupted switching with the State Grid, and uses photovoltaic power generation to replace coal-fired power generation.
While meeting the electricity demand in the station, the surplus power is supplied to the outside world, which fully realizes the use of photovoltaic power generation.
Offset the electricity consumption in the station, the carbon emission reduction can effectively offset the carbon emission
.
According to statistics, the current annual power generation of the project exceeds 120,000 kWh, while the annual electricity consumption of the office building of the thermal branch is only 80,000 kWh.
It is the first pilot project to achieve carbon neutrality in Zhongyuan Oilfield.
The 40,000-kilowatt-hour electric energy is deployed through the national grid and delivered to thousands of households
.

According to the calculation of the theoretical life cycle of photovoltaic power stations of 25 years, the rooftop photovoltaic power generation project can generate more than 3 million kWh cumulatively.
Compared with traditional thermal power projects, it can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 2,991 tons in the whole life cycle
.
On the basis of achieving carbon neutrality, the project also brings economic benefits to the Zhongyuan Oilfield
.
The investment of the project is 360,000 yuan.
Calculated according to the electricity price of 0.
6125 yuan/kWh, the project's annual electricity revenue is 73,500 yuan, and the investment can be recovered in 6 years
.
The electricity generated after 6 years can be converted into real economic benefits
.

In the next step, Zhongyuan Oilfield will increase the construction of rooftop photovoltaic projects.
This year, it is expected to build photovoltaic power generation facilities in four regions, which are distributed in Pucheng Oil Extraction Plant, Wenwei Oil Extraction Plant, and Natural Gas Processing Plant.
It is estimated that the annual photovoltaic installed capacity is 20 trillion It is expected to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 23,700 tons per year
