The wind speed is small and the market demand is insufficient.
1. The wind speed is small. January to March is the season with lower temperatures in Jilin Province. The weather is cloudy, rainy and snowy, and the wind speed is low, resulting in reduced wind power generation and a high wind abandonment rate.
2. Insufficient market demand. When seasonal power consumption is relatively sluggish and market demand is insufficient, power companies are subject to capacity constraints or market pressure, causing them to abandon part of their wind power generation.
46 megawatts is 46,000 kilowatts, that is, it can generate 46,000 kilowatt hours of electricity in one hour. In most areas with available wind resources in the west, the annual wind power utilization hours are about 1,800 to 2,200 hours (in layman terms, the utilization hours are the time required to convert the annual power generation capacity to full load), which can generate approximately (46,000 kilowatts × 1,800 hours =) 82.8 million kilowatt hours to (46,000 kilowatts × 2,200 hours =) 101.2 million kilowatt hours of electricity. The utilization hours of thermal power plants in a year are about 5,500 hours. After conversion, 46 MW of wind power is equivalent to (46,000 kilowatts × 1,800 hours/5,500 hours =) 15 MW to (46,000 kilowatts × 2,200 hours/5,500 hours =) 18.4 Megawatt thermal power. If in other areas, this method can be used to convert based on the specific conditions of local wind power and thermal power utilization hours.
