The development of uhv is the "top priority" of the power grid construction in the 12th five-year plan

The development of uhv is the "top priority" in the 12th five-year plan. In the next five years, over 500 billion yuan will be invested to build "three vertical and three horizontal" uhv ac backbone grids and 11 uhvdc transmission projects, forming a strong grid grid with coordinated development of ac and dc. Experts predict that by 2020, the transmission capacity of China's uhv and cross-region power grid will be 210 million kW, of which the 800kV dc power grid is about 56 million kW, and the other 150 million kW will be composed of ac power grid. By 2020, the market demand for cables will reach 406 billion yuan. With the construction of uhvac and dc projects commencing in succession, the power grid construction has ushered in a new era of high level.

Substation, transmission equipment leading the most investment prospects

In the next five years, the total investment in the transmission link will be 358.2 billion yuan, among which transmission cables, towers and insulators account for more than 50%, benefiting more than other equipment. According to the annual average contribution of uhv to relevant listed companies, EPS was ranked in order of benefits, followed by sanpu pharmaceutical (far east cable), qixing iron tower and chuangyuan technology.

Far east, as the market leader of domestic power transmission equipment, occupies a leading position in high-end and special cable industry. Recently announced the private placement, the front expansion of special cable: 1) unique carbon fiber composite wire technology, through the core components of domestic, with comprehensive promotion conditions, is about to drive performance leapfrog development; 2) during the 12th five-year plan, the company invested in high-end power grid and increased the number of high-end cables and ACCC in due time, which will fully enjoy the booming industry; 3) by developing new energy, Marine cable, ship cable and railway cable, jaliang can enjoy high growth of market segments and greatly improve its profitability.

Opportunities and challenges for cable industry in the era of uhv

Uhv accelerate the development of the background, will give more divided, large cross-section wire and new heat-resistant conductor and hole enlargement, low-noise conductor, uhv power cable (polypropylene film composite wood fiber paper, insulation oil filled cable with gas insulated pipe cable) and uhv crosslinking cable accessories bring good opportunity, but also great challenges.

Uhv is obviously a tempting cake, but not for everyone. In order to get business opportunities, for the cable production enterprises, it will be a fight and contest of the technical level and the use of new process materials. To win the market competition, manufacturers should speed up the upgrading of technology level, and at the same time, as soon as possible to reform the traditional process.

Uhv engineering is the most advanced technology in the world power grid construction field. At the same time, relevant data show that in recent years, China's promotion of the use of high-efficiency energy-saving electrical, power cables and compared with the advanced level of developed countries and international obvious gap, to a large extent, is related to the use of high-efficiency energy-saving materials and the use of new technology.

The development of cable industry has been greatly challenged in the era of rapid development of uhv. There are about a few problems:

1. The price hike of raw materials is one of the most serious problems in the wire and cable industry

Affected by the soaring prices of copper, aluminum, plastic and other raw materials, especially the price of copper continues to climb, the wire and cable industry feels unprecedented pressure, increasing the production cost of enterprises, this year this situation will not be effectively changed. The personage inside course of study thinks, our country has entered the initial stage of heavy chemical industry at present, as the arrival of times of high cost, the price of production element rises to had become a kind of inevitable trend, add in addition to demand ceaseless increase, accordingly, it is unrealistic to expect raw material price to return to former level again. However, it is very necessary to effectively restrain the irrational price increase factors such as market monopoly and market speculation through the improvement of the market mechanism, the government's macro-control and necessary intervention. This is not only an important condition to promote the coordinated and healthy development of the national economy, but also the development environment expected by the wire and cable industry. In of raw materials such as copper, aluminum, plastic wire and cable products occupy a large proportion in the cost, more than 80% of the total cost, so the large increase in raw material price increases caused by the product cost substantially, with energy prices, transportation costs and the rise of human resource cost, also promoted the enterprise cost further.

Because cost is climbing greatly, but its sale price increases hard however reasonable. Therefore, the market competition is increasingly fierce, especially in the low value-added technology in the middle and low-end wire and cable products market, price competition is quite common, at present, some wire and cable enterprises have losses. Industry insiders believe that the root cause of low price competition is blind investment, overcapacity, oversupply. On the one hand, due to the low investment threshold, a large number of enterprises influx, resulting in the industry of enterprises "too much too much". It is understood that the size of the wire and cable industry is more than 5000 enterprises. Production capacity in these sectors exceeded market demand and there was a serious surplus. , on the other hand, due to the "threshold" is low, not only the industry concentration degree is more and more low, and made part of don't have the necessary means such as production capacity, quality control and inspection of enterprises workshop to blend in the industry, become the fake and shoddy, cut corners, shoddy products produce source, and with lower selling prices and other means to disrupt the market competition order, aggravated disorderly competition in the industry.

2. Cable access qualification numerous enterprises are struggling to cope

Wire and cable are all walks of life will use the product of form a complete set, and from all walks of life on the properties of the cable requirement are the same or have different emphases, and puts forward restrictions on the net cable products, not in the net are eligible may not be the net is used, the cable manufacturing company spends a large amount of manpower and material resources and financial resources to deal with these various qualification accreditation.

The most common cable products need to have a production license, low voltage wires should have 3 c compulsory certification, mine cable to have a system of coal mine safety certification, indoor communication cable have the pta network access license, cable TV have the department of broadcasting and television network access license, computer network with LAN cable for a network access license, antiflaming fire-resistant cable must have the fire department for the record approval certificate, etc. What's more, the same product requires licenses from several user departments at the same time. So on, causes the product marketing expense to increase greatly.

Such a wide range of certification certificates, whether it can limit the influx of counterfeit and shoddy wire and cable products? As it turns out, these seemingly strict restrictions actually provide some effective protection for the criminals who produce fake and inferior products. It is understood that those seized counterfeit and shoddy products of the gunners have a full range of certificates. Where do these certificates come from? Cause a sensation in the country of a rise in mining accidents, some of the poor quality of coal mining cable with the qualification certificate is where to come from?

Many people of vision believe that while increasing the strength of product certification and recognition, we should also increase the penalties for criminals who produce fake and inferior products. We should not just revoke business licenses and impose penalties.

How should cable enterprises cope with the opportunities and challenges brought by the era of uhv? "In the severe market environment, improving the core competitiveness, feeling the pulse of industrial transformation, and improving the added value of cable products will undoubtedly occupy a dominant position in the market competition. Jiang huajun, general manager of far east group composite technology co., LTD., said that far east promotes its core competitiveness through high-tech development.

The practice of the far east, is a set up enterprise cable research institute, the national post-doctoral scientific research workstation, and increase with tsinghua university, Shanghai electric cable research institute and other units cooperation, form a multi-level system of technology innovation, has developed a nuclear power station with special cable, new products, such as carbon fiber composite wire is a growing enterprise's core competitiveness. Second, the introduction of more efforts, from domestic and foreign famous universities, scientific research institutes to hire a number of senior technical, management personnel to join; At the same time under the cultivation of enterprise technical backbone.

China's wire and cable manufacturers, the market competition is increasingly fierce, not to mention the price of raw materials devouring manufacturer profits, only the nearly 7000 large and small cable manufacturer divvying up market share for each big cable factory has formed a lot of pressure, the market once appear the situation of oversupply, and even some small and medium-sized cable factory to promote further reduce the product cost, also make some big cable manufacturer reeled in market development. In addition, users of cable product price adjustment recognition lag, poor payment integrity also brought huge business pressure to enterprises.

Under this situation, the major cable plants began to control the cost from all aspects of the enterprise operation, to simplify the working procedure, reduce the internal consumption of the enterprise, standardize the business process, adjust the product structure, expand the export and other ways to get more living space. At the same time, for the price adjustment of wire and cable products is also imperative.

Enforces the environmental protection cable standard, strengthens the cable product recycling

"The recycling of electric wires and cables is particularly important in terms of energy conservation and environmental protection. In addition, environmental protection standards should be enforced to guide the cable industry to develop into clean and environment-friendly products.

A professional "waste wire and cable" recycling plant should be set up to process the waste materials in other places to avoid secondary pollution.

Improve the environmental protection standards of cable, promote the upgrading of cable industry, and promote the upgrading of cable products. The content of halogen and heavy metal and the light transmittance of low-smoke halogen free cable should be clearly specified in the cable standards, and corresponding preferential policies should be given in the power grid bidding.

"Enterprises with strong capital can attract talents with high salaries and improve their technological competitiveness. Enterprises short of money should focus on low costs. Large enterprises can enhance their innovation ability and take innovation as their core competitiveness. One industry insider thinks.

Material innovation leads the industry

Material is the material basis on which human beings live and develop. It was the forerunner of industrial revolution. Especially the wire and cable industry is a "heavy industry" processing industry, it can be said, wire and cable special materials is the foundation of the cable industry. There is no quality of raw materials must not produce first-class cable products.

Wire and cable products are used in many major projects, important products, important occasions, especially in the application of ultra-high voltage power grid, its life and reliability is very important, and cable faults and quality accidents are often caused by the quality defects of cable materials.

To be sure, high quality cable material is the source of famous cable products. From the historical evolution of the wire and cable industry, the innovation of materials has been leading the development of the wire and cable industry. With the 21st century optical guide, superconductor, nano and other new materials innovation will lead the cable industry to a new brilliant.

At present, although the output of electric wires and cables in China has taken the first place in the world, the degree of independent innovation is not enough. Power grid construction has entered a new era of uhv development. Therefore, vigorously promoting and applying efficient new materials has become a top priority for the sustainable and rapid development of wire and cable industry.

Industrial enterprise assets reorganization

In recent years, China's cable industry has been reshuffling, and state-owned enterprises have become the focus of corporate mergers and reorganization.

Today, China's cable industry enterprise restructuring and asset restructuring has entered a white-hot stage. In terms of the country's largest cable companies, mergers and acquisitions, asset restructuring is very fierce. Shenyang, Asia's largest cable factory, has been dismantled as part of the japanese-owned shengoo cable company. The Shanghai cable factory no longer exists and two-thirds of its assets are in joint ventures with Japan's fujiura. Zhengzhou cable group is also being coveted by a number of Chinese and foreign companies. Hongqi cable factory, a large cable enterprise in central China, has been merged by a strong private domestic cable enterprise. Inner Mongolia cable factory has been merged by Shanghai cable co. LTD. It is rumored that nanning silver fir cable company, an established cable company in southwest China, is also being merged. The acquisition of state-owned enterprises not only deduces the solemn and stirring of China's state-owned cable enterprises, but also deduces their fate. Their brilliant achievements have become a glorious page in China's cable history.

However, after the state-owned enterprises are merged and reformed, it is not certain that they can turn back to life.

Amid the wave of reshuffling in China's cable industry, powerful Chinese and foreign cable bosses still favour a small number of state-owned enterprises, especially large ones. They value not only the "lean camel is bigger than the horse", but also the production capacity and product brands of large state-owned enterprises. Not long ago, some foreign businessmen expressed their reluctance to cooperate with private enterprises on the grounds of "lack of credibility", and they only wanted to absorb capital rather than undertake more responsibilities.

The result of the reshuffle of China's cable industry must be the privatization of state-owned enterprises, joint ventures or wholly foreign-owned enterprises. Shuffling, will inevitably face these "three" fierce competition between enterprises.

Foreseeing the broad market prospect, the enterprise hopes that the entire industry can develop rationally and healthily. Some cable manufacturers have suggested that new cable plants should be approved by associations, rather than local governments, to regulate the market. Hope to standardize the bidding, determine the bidding base price, so that users can judge whether the bidding enterprise bid is reasonable.

Rural power grid transformation cable industry has a lot to do

The emphasis on infrastructure should be shifted to the countryside. This is for many years mainly for the two network engineering and urban construction of the wire and cable industry, is undoubtedly a huge business opportunity. The countryside is a vast world where cable industry is promising.

To build a new socialist countryside, we must strengthen rural infrastructure construction. We must resolve to reorient investment and shift the focus of state investment in infrastructure construction to rural areas. This is a major shift. We will strengthen infrastructure development for farmland, with the focus on small water conservancy facilities; strengthen the system for fighting floods, drought and disaster reduction; and improve rural roads, drinking water, methane, power grids, communications and other infrastructure and the living environment. In China's rural areas, although there are many small wire and cable enterprises, but can not fully meet the needs of the rural infrastructure projects on the wire and cable. The farsighted city electric wire and cable enterprise should prepare the products for the countryside as soon as possible.

'in accordance with the requirements of building a new socialist countryside, the construction of rural power grids in the next few years will move forward with the goal of strong, sustainable development, scientific management, quality service and harmonious supply and use,' said a head of the state grid's agricultural power department.

The development of the industry such as traffic also will bring harvest to electric wire cable industry

According to China's long-term plan, in the future, China's telecommunication industry, electric power industry, nuclear power construction, automobile industry, electrified railway and urban rail transit, ships and offshore oil exploration, housing construction and so on will have greater development, which will bring new opportunities for the development of the wire and cable industry. 110 ~ 550 kv cross-linked polyethylene insulated power cable, power plant cable, big length submarine power cable, copper alloy contact wire, high voltage cable accessories, 500 kv large span overhead conductors, low smoke, zero halogen and flame retardant, fire-resistant environmental protection cable and all kinds of electrical product of form a complete set of special winding line will be "twelfth five-year" period of the development of the main products.

It is urgent to develop the accessory of ultra high voltage crosslinking cable

Now, many cable companies in China say that they can produce 110 ~ 220kV, even 500kV uhv cross-linked cables, but few companies have the courage to say that they can produce uhv cross-linked cable accessories. The high voltage and uhv low voltage transmission lines in China are still imported from foreign countries, which is not in line with China's huge investment in the development of uhv crosslinked cables. The 110kV crosslink cable has been widely used in China, the 220kV crosslink cable has been localized, and the 50kkV crosslink cable has made a successful sample and passed the appraisal, but there is still time for the domestication of our cable accessories. Therefore, it is an urgent task of independent technology development and innovation in China's cable industry to develop ultra-high voltage cable accessories.
