Why does Beijing require air conditioning to be no less than 26 degrees Celsius?

Affected by the continuous high temperature, as of 02: 30 on August 1 day, the load of Beijing power grid has reached 23.064 million kilowatts, exceeding the 22.675 million kilowatts on July 3 1 day and reaching a new high. It is reported that the maximum load of power grid in 20 17 years is 22.54 million kilowatts. At present, the overall operation of Beijing power grid is stable. State Grid Beijing Electric Power Company requires that the air conditioning temperature be set at not less than 26 degrees Celsius.

Liu Hui, director of the dispatching department of State Grid Beijing Electric Power Dispatching and Control Center, said that due to the continuous high temperature and high humidity weather, the cooling load of air conditioners has greatly increased. Since July 28, the load of Beijing power grid has maintained a continuous upward trend. On July 3 1 day 12: 26, the maximum load of the power grid reached 22.675 million kilowatts, while in August 1 day 12: 30,

It is understood that in order to ensure the smooth operation of Beijing power grid and the normal electricity consumption of residents, State Grid Beijing Electric Power started the Class III emergency response of heavy load warning of power grid at 8: 00 on July 3 1 day, and started all emergency command systems. The two-stage controller of Beijing Electric Power closely tracks the load trend of the power grid, strengthens the operation monitoring of heavy-duty equipment, and adjusts the operation mode of the power grid in advance.

State Grid Beijing Electric Power Company pointed out that it is expected that if there is high temperature and high humidity weather for more than one week this summer, the maximum load in Beijing will reach 26 million kilowatts, an increase of about 15.35% year-on-year. The maximum power generation of local power plants in Beijing accounts for about 30%, and off-line power reception accounts for about 69.84%, of which air conditioning cooling load accounts for about 54%.

State Grid Beijing Electric Power Company said that it will take a number of measures to ensure the safety of the power grid in summer. First, strengthen the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei electric power emergency linkage mechanism and establish emergency coordination linkage mechanism with Tianjin, Hebei and Hebei electric power companies. The second is to innovatively apply the first "integrated dual-core" distribution automation system in China to realize accurate operation and maintenance control of the city's distribution network. Third, innovative application of China's first accurate early warning system for power grid meteorological disasters, using advanced information technologies such as multi-source data analysis and lean geographical model of power grid, covering more than 500 substations and more than 20,000 towers in the city. Fourth, high-tech means provide reliable guarantee for the power grid.

State Grid Beijing Electric Power Company appeals to all power users to strictly implement the Standard for Air Conditioning Temperature Control in Public Buildings issued by the State Council General Office, keep the air conditioning temperature set at no less than 26 degrees Celsius, and advocate the general public to establish energy-saving and environmental protection awareness and cultivate good electricity habits.
