Chapter 289 Is the research completed? But it’s only been three months!
The preliminary demonstration took a total of one month.
All design plans were finalized by Wang Hao single-handedly. If there were some small detailed design issues, Wang Hao would also look at the design carefully and then determine the manufacturing plan.
Some people in the research team felt incredible about the process of finalizing the design.
Normally, the person in charge of the project team will not care about the detailed design, such as the refrigeration system. There are many ways to arrange the refrigeration pipes, which are usually completed by a dedicated team.
If there is a problem in the subsequent experiment, it will definitely be the team responsible for the refrigeration system to study the solution.
The job of the project leader is to grasp the overall situation, not the details of every step of the work.
If you use an idiom to describe Wang Hao's work, it can be described as "doing everything by hand".
In the eyes of many people in the research team, Wang Hao's "hands-on" attitude is not like that of Zhuge Kongming. He doesn't seem to handle everything "seriously".
Regarding some detailed design issues, he just looked at several designs, either directly selected one, or made changes, and then finalized it.
This also led to many people in the research team not trusting Wang Hao.
Because they didn't know why Wang Hao chose that plan, and Wang Hao didn't give a specific explanation.
In fact, Wang Hao certainly knew the reasons for the choice of the plan, but because the workload was so heavy, he did not have time to patiently explain it.
The most important thing now is to complete the design. It only took a month to finalize the plan. You can imagine how complicated the research is.
The application of technology is not like theory, he just needs to do research.
Now designing the final plan is not the result. They need to manufacture the corresponding device according to the design plan, and they need to continuously test, adjust and improve it.
It can be said that the introduction of the design plan is just the beginning.
Wang Hao's only feeling is that it is very time-consuming. He is used to working efficiently and even hopes to manufacture the equipment immediately.
That's obviously impossible.
Wang Hao also knew that many people in the research team were dissatisfied with his way of finalizing the design plan, but he didn't really care.
This is the difference in thinking brought about by status.
Even Deputy Director Liu Mingkun is very different from him in terms of personal status. He only needs to explain his work and does not need to prove anything to the people in the research team.
What he needs now is to make the corresponding experimental device and truly create a complete SMES power storage device.
It doesn't matter what other people think.
In addition, everyone's goal is to complete the research, and they are at least consistent in their goals.
As long as the research can be completed faster and better, even if there are some disagreements during the research process, it won't matter in the end.
However, Wang Hao also knows the importance of people's hearts, and he is a little worried that there will be problems in the process of manufacturing the device.
So he specifically went to talk to Liu Mingkun, "Professor Liu, we have been working together for more than a month. I don't care what you think or think."
"Now that I have submitted the design plan, the next step is to manufacture the experimental device."
"I hope that the experimental device will be completely consistent with our design, both overall and in detail."
The few words Wang Hao said were all from the bottom of his heart, but his tone was also a bit strong, and there were still some words that he did not say.
Liu Mingkun heard it.
Obviously.
If the manufactured device is inconsistent with the design, even if the chosen plan is correct, his deputy director will definitely be gone.
Wang Hao not only found Liu Mingkun, he also found Ding Shengli.
Ding Shengli is a professor of power engineering at Xihai University and is also involved in the SMES technology research project.
So Ding Shengli can be said to be one of his own.
Wang Hao asked Ding Shengli and Liu Mingkun to be responsible for the manufacturing of the device. Obviously, he did not trust Liu Mingkun very much.
Of course Liu Mingkun could feel it, and he felt a little annoyed in his heart.
In fact, he did have different opinions on several parts of the design.
There is no point in having opinions now. Ding Shengli is responsible for manufacturing the device together with him, and he can only supervise according to the design.
Liu Mingkun felt a little regretful.
He is a professor at the Institute of Electrical Engineering of the Academy of Sciences. When he heard that Wang Hao had formed a SMES technology research group, he actively signed up to participate.
I didn't expect that...
Wang Hao is so authoritarian that he decides all the designs by himself, and other people's opinions don't seem to matter.
Liu Minkun could only sigh sadly, "Wang Hao is indeed a genius, a super genius, but genius is only reflected in the direction of theoretical research."
"In terms of research on technology applications, he is probably not suitable to be the person in charge..."
"Academics, theory, and genius are very important. One person can complete research, but research on the application of science and technology still needs to listen to everyone's opinions..."
…
The research team submitted an application for manufacturing experimental devices to the superior department.
This is a big deal.
The manufacturing of SMES power storage experimental devices requires a large amount of equipment and material supply, and many new design solutions also require unique, high-end manufacturing technology.
Therefore, the manufacturing of experimental equipment itself requires the coordination of many departments and factories.
The higher-level departments fully support Wang Hao's research team, and the supply of all materials and equipment is given priority.
Manufacturing the SMES power storage experimental device is not a trivial matter. The coils made of a large number of new superconducting materials are very unusual. It requires not only materials, but also the cooperation of several factories.
Many relevant people know the news.
The same goes for Pan Dong's team.
When he learned that Wang Hao's research team was preparing to build an experimental device, Pan Dong felt a little incredible.
He was sitting in the office and talking to Deng Jianqiang, "It has only been a little over a month, right? In one month, all the design plans were finalized? It took us half a year."
Deng Jianqiang thought about it and said, "Indeed, we spent half a year on the design and three months on building the experimental device."
He said and added, "They should be faster. It will probably take more than a month."
"That's Academician Wang Hao..."
Pan Dong curled his lips as he spoke, obviously very dissatisfied, "It's only been a month, and I've probably added some things to our basic plan. I guess I just wanted to lay the foundation."
"We still have to experiment and improve it in the future. After all the parts are manufactured, there will definitely be a series of problems."
Deng Jianqiang nodded in agreement, "This is just the beginning. Even if everything is manufactured, it will take several months to debug and run it normally, and then they will encounter the same problems as us."
"Quench protection is the biggest problem!" Pan Dong said, feeling a little distressed.
At this time, the office door was pushed open.
Liang Jingye walked in and said, "Our group has developed a new solution. By changing the detection position, the data is transferred to the computer and the detection is automatically performed. This may solve the problem of coils and heat induction."
Pan Dong's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Tell me more specifically."
After he finished speaking, he quickly asked Liang Jingye to sit down.
Liang Jingye also talked about it in detail. Generally speaking, it is the adjustment of the detection position and system data, which can make the data changes more sensitive. To a certain extent, it can solve the problem of coils and heat induction in the house.
Pan Dong and Deng Jianqiang nodded frequently after hearing this, and both felt that this new plan was very feasible.
"If we can solve this problem, our progress will be at least three months faster!"
"This is an answer question!"
"Xiao Liang, I really have yours, this is such a great idea!"
A smile appeared on Liang Jingye's lips, and she immediately asked, "Teacher Pan, I just heard you talking about Academician Wang Hao's research group, how is their progress there?"
"They are preparing to manufacture equipment. The speed is really fast!"
"It's useless no matter how fast you go, there's still at least one year behind us!"
"Xiao Liang, as long as you are here, we are not afraid of them catching up..."
Liang Jingye frowned slightly when she heard this. She didn't know why, but she suddenly felt a little worried.
…
Similar to the time estimated by Deng Jianqiang, the manufacturing of the device took a total of about five weeks.
Most of the time is spent on manufacturing components.
In addition, the installation and debugging of various components and equipment also took a certain amount of time.
What surprised the research team was that the debugging of many components went very smoothly, even incredibly smoothly.
At this time, they already felt that the design was unusual.
Normally, when there are problems with the design, problems will be encountered in the debugging of many components.
Wang Hao was not in a hurry. He handed over the manufacturing of experimental equipment to Ding Shengli and Liu Mingkun, while he focused on the work of the computer team.
The work of the computer group is very important.
Nowadays, no matter it is a high-tech product, it must be supported by software. In the SMES power storage device, the quench protection of the energy storage coil, the status monitoring of the refrigeration system and the power regulation system all require software for automated control.
If there is a problem with the software, it will be impossible to coordinate the hardware equipment, and various problems will definitely occur.
Wang Hao is very concerned about the work of the computer team.
The basis for the work of the computer group is the basic code provided by Pan Dong's team. Wang Hao browsed the code from beginning to end and made certain changes on the basis.
Then he did the module design work of the software and left each part to individuals to complete, but the software may still have problems, because any program will have bugs.
What Wang Hao hopes to do is to minimize bugs and make the background software control more stable. Coupled with stable monitoring, the system will be relatively complete.
soon.
A month has passed.
The SMES power storage experimental device was manufactured and built in a large pit with a diameter of several tens of meters. The main reason was to worry about safety issues such as explosions.
In addition, when the device is running, the high magnetic field inside is also dangerous.
After all the devices were installed, the research team immediately conducted a trial run. As expected, the first run failed.
This is very normal.
After a detailed inspection, it was found that the problem was in the power supply device, which was just a small problem.
The next day, a second run was performed, and it was found that there was a problem with the line connection.
This is an error during the manufacturing process of the device.
Then the third time, the fourth time...
The biggest problems encountered in every operation are that the materials or manufacturing do not meet the standards, or there are errors in the manufacturing and installation of the device, causing problems with some modules.
For example, the coil winding is not smooth enough, causing the detection and adjustment system to be unstable.
surveillance system……
Cooling System……
Every part has more or less small problems.
At this time, Wang Hao also discovered that research on the application of science and technology is indeed different from theoretical research. If theoretical research goes in the right direction, there will be no mistakes.
In research on the application of science and technology, many problems have nothing to do with design. Manufacturing, materials, equipment, and even human factors will all lead to some problems.
When encountering a problem, it is not easy to find the cause.
Fortunately, he always makes the right judgment and solves the problem quickly.
finally.
Half a month later.
With the expectations of everyone in the research team, the equipment has been operating normally for the first time, just operating normally, which is already exciting.
At this time, many people have realized that there seems to be no problem with their design because the equipment is already functioning normally.
After the equipment was running for five minutes, Liu Mingkun shouted with excitement, "There is no alarm!"
“There’s no power outage!”
"Did it work? It was really a success!"
The current scene was completely unexpected. Normally, it would not take too long for the experimental equipment to operate normally for the first time. Problems may occur within a few minutes.
The next step is to find the problem and correct it.
Now that the device has been running continuously for more than half an hour without any problems, what should I do next?
Charge slowly?
The current situation surprised everyone in the research team.
Even someone like Ding Shengli, a member of the team, did not expect that the device would start normally for the first time without any problems.
But, how is it possible?
At this time, everyone looked at the experimental device and suddenly realized, "It seems that our design is perfect!"
"There was no problem when it started normally for the first time. I don't know what to do next..."
"As expected of Academician Wang Hao!"
"I used to think that Academician Wang was very stubborn. I was wrong. I was very wrong!"
"Although I participated in the whole design process, I feel like I did nothing. Academician Wang finalized the plan single-handedly, and then that was it..."
"The device has been running normally for almost an hour now, right? In this case, our progress has surpassed Pan Dong's, right?"
"That's for sure. I've heard that at their best, they only run for ten minutes, and an alarm will sound immediately. There are many problems with their quench protection system."
“Why don’t we have issues with quench protection?”
"..."
Everyone was excited and everyone was surprised.
They kept discussing in surprise.
soon.
Liu Mingkun suddenly thought of a question in his excitement, "What should we do now?"
"Always charging?"
"But, I'm not satisfied with it..."
The working principle of the SMES power storage device is that during normal operation, the grid current charges the superconducting inductor through rectification, and then maintains constant current operation.
This is the process of charging.
The normal operation and debugging of the experimental device naturally involves the debugging of charging and discharging.
For the normal operation of the experimental equipment, the first step is to use the power grid to charge, while discharging is an experimental operation that needs to be filled with one-fifth of the electricity.
That's the problem.
How easy is it to recharge one fifth of the battery?
Liu Mingkun said, "If I remember correctly, our design scheme has a total power storage of more than 20 million kilowatt hours."
"Even if it's only one-fifth, it's still four million degrees. How long will it last?"
Others were also stunned when they heard this.
They had no idea that the experiment would go so smoothly. The first time the manufactured equipment ran, there seemed to be no problems.
Others also discussed, "Just wait like this?"
"How long do we have to wait? That's millions of degrees..."
Everyone could only look at Wang Hao.
Wang Hao stood in the safe area outside the device. Knowing that everything was normal, he could not help but nod with satisfaction.
He thought for a while and said, "The power supply of the line we connected is still insufficient. Let's just let the device run first and check the situation at any time."
"If there are no problems for three consecutive days, I will apply to my superiors and arrange to connect a few more lines, and also test the charging pressure..."
Wang Hao left after making his decision.
The research team will arrange a team to pay attention to the operation of the device 24 hours a day, and any problems will be reported as soon as possible.
Others continued to stay outside the device. After their excitement and excitement, they felt incredible when they came back to their senses.
Normally, after the experimental device has just been manufactured, there will definitely be various problems.
Whether it is the refrigeration system, the power conditioning system, the quench protection of the energy storage coil, or the overall monitoring system, there will be problems.
Now, what's the problem?
If no problems occur for a long time, wouldn’t the research be completed?
But……
Their research team has only been established for three months, right?
