High-voltage switch high-end product R & D situation is grim

Benefiting from a series of power construction projects such as domestic UHV and smart grids, the demand for high-voltage switches in China has expanded. However, compared with the booming market, the industry faces a series of problems such as product homogeneity and excess production capacity.

High-voltage switch is a kind of electrical appliance whose rated voltage is 3kV and above is mainly used for breaking and closing conductive loops. In recent years, with the increase in competition caused by excess capacity, the rising cost of raw materials and labor, the high-voltage switch industry in China is on thin ice, and the resulting decline in prices and profits has led the industry to a crossroads.

However, driven by the construction of domestic UHV and smart grids, the demand for high-voltage switches in China has increased significantly.

Under the new situation, the construction of smart grids and UHV put forward new requirements for the miniaturization, reliability, automation and intelligence of switches. Therefore, the integration and reshuffling of the high-voltage switch industry was pushed to the forefront of reforms, and the industry generally used Ebb To describe the embarrassing situation facing the high voltage switch.

Under the current market environment, high-voltage switchgear companies must tap potential in order to achieve sustainable development. For high-voltage switchgear companies with huge pressures for survival, how to avoid being eliminated and ensure product quality and innovation are the top priorities; and for those high-voltage switch companies that still have spare capacity, the most considered should be the direction of the next step. Product diversification and high-end may be a good choice.

Experts pointed out that the industry should pay attention to not blindly expand production, because the entry threshold is relatively low, and more funds may bring blind competition after entering, especially if it can not guarantee product quality, it may bring negative impact to users. Change investment intentions.

During the Twelfth Five-Year Plan period, China's high-voltage switch industry should take the opportunity of building a strong smart grid and rely on UHV AC and DC power transmission projects to enhance its independent innovation capability, greatly increase the level of intelligent switchgear equipment, and promote environmental protection, energy conservation, and emission reduction. Equipment; The UHV transmission technology and advanced electrical equipment and integration technology should be the key areas of development. In-depth research on 1000kV UHV transmission and key equipment and core technologies should be conducted to accelerate the complete localization of AC and DC high-voltage equipment; and through advanced electrical The pre-research of equipment and integration technology aims to make breakthroughs in the key technologies of superconducting power equipment; strive to promote the optimization and upgrading of industrial structure, further improve the overall technical level and international competitiveness of the industry, and strive to achieve the transformation of the high-voltage switch industry from big to strong. .
