Surge Protectors In Traditional Power Industry
Traditional Electric Power
The electric power industry is a critical foundational industry in the national economy, providing momentum and support for the development of other industries. It is a key and leading industry in the national economic development strategy. Its demand for surge protective device primarily comes from grounding products and lightning rods for transmission towers, surge protector grounding products for substations, surge protection device grounding systems for distribution equipment, and lightning fault monitoring systems for transmission lines and distribution stations.
According to the "Research Report on the 12th Five-Year Plan for the Electric Power Industry," national investment in the electric power industry will reach 5.3 trillion yuan during the 12th Five-Year Plan, a 68% increase over the 11th Five-Year Plan. Of this, approximately 2.75 trillion yuan will be invested in power sources and 2.55 trillion yuan in power grids. In 2013, national investment in electric power engineering projects reached 761.1 billion yuan, of which 371.7 billion yuan was invested in power sources and 389.4 billion yuan was invested in power grid projects.
Based on the fixed asset investment scale for power sources and power grids in the 12th Five-Year Plan for the electric power industry, the demand for lightning protection products in the electric power industry is expected to reach 8.746 billion yuan in 2015.
