The hottest spring next year will bring back power

The current situation and opportunities of power distribution and automation products in the coal industry are closely related to the application of power distribution and automation products in the coal industry and the investment in fixed assets in the coal industry. As the growth rate of fixed asset investment in the coal industry slows down, its investment in power distribution and automation products will naturally be affected. Frost Sullivan believes that for any power distribution or automation manufacturer, the coal industry is an industry that cannot be ignored

China is one of the few countries in the world with coal as the main energy, and it is also the world's largest coal production and consumption country. Coal has always played a leading role in energy consumption. The Eleventh Five Year Plan for the development of the national coal industry also points out that China will still have a coal based energy structure for a long time in the future, and the strategic position of coal is still very important. In 2008, the fixed asset investment in China's coal industry completed 241.1 billion yuan. However, due to the impact of the financial crisis and the excess coal capacity caused by a large amount of investment in the early stage, the following items are reflected according to frost Sulliva's specific distinction: n's prediction is that the growth rate of fixed asset investment in the coal industry will slow down in the next few years (), and the annual compound growth rate is expected to remain at about 15.8%

the application of power distribution and automation products in the coal industry is closely related to the fixed asset investment in the coal industry. As the growth rate of fixed asset investment in the coal industry slows down, its investment in power distribution and automation products will naturally be affected. Frost Sullivan believes that the coal industry is an industry that can not be ignored for any power distribution or automation manufacturer that has expanded to automobiles and equipment. Whether from its strategic position in the national development plan or its long-term potential for the demand for power distribution and automation products, all manufacturers should pay attention to it, and cultivate and explore the potential of their products in the coal industry

the application of power distribution and automation products in the coal industry

frost Sullivan's research shows that in 2008, the total investment in fixed assets in the coal industry was 241.1 billion, of which about 35% were invested in new projects, 20% in expansion projects, and the remaining 45% were all invested in technological transformation projects. If divided by the three industrial sections of underground work, open pit and washing, the investment proportion is 3.1%, 87.7% and 9.2% respectively. As the state has always emphasized the need to improve the washing rate of raw coal, optimize the product structure and improve the product quality, the fixed asset investment in the washing part has been steadily increasing in recent years. In the study of national key coal enterprises, it is found that in the new mine projects, the investment in power distribution accounts for about 2%-3% of the overall investment in the new mine, and the investment in automation accounts for about 1%-2% of the overall investment. In the new washing plant projects, the proportion of the two is 5%-6% and 4%-5% respectively. In the newly-built open-pit mines, the proportion of the two is very small, about 1% and 0.3% respectively. From the above investment proportion, it can be seen that the washing plant pays more attention to the construction of electrical automation than well workers and open-pit mines. Of course, this is also related to the fact that the washing plant itself needs to use many electrical automation products

in various new projects in different industrial sections, low-voltage cabinets are widely used in power distribution products, and low-voltage frequency converters are widely used in automation products. Basically, more than 90% of the medium voltage cabinets and low-voltage cabinets are purchased from the panel factory, and the core circuit breakers are provided by domestic manufacturers. Users in the coal industry believe that at present, 1.3 billion tons of food are wasted or consumed in China and the world every year. The quality of low and medium pressure cabinets is good, and the price is lower than that of foreign brands. Therefore, coal users basically choose low and medium pressure cabinets produced by domestic manufacturers, unless in some special occasions, for example, in order to cooperate with key large-scale equipment such as coal miners imported from abroad, users may choose some foreign brands of low and medium pressure cabinets. In general, there are more domestic products used in distribution products, and more foreign brand products used in automation products, such as PLC and frequency converter, especially PLC. Foreign brands basically occupy more than 95% of the market share

all electrical automation products used underground, which are still in the process of strategic opportunities, must have coal safety certification and explosion-proof certification. These two certifications can be applied for at the same time. Generally, if electrical automation manufacturers want to sell their products underground, they will not take the direct sales method, but sell them to integrators, who will integrate their products into explosion-proof cabinets to obtain the overall coal safety and explosion-proof certification. After integrating the products into the explosion-proof cabinet, the integrator usually applies for two certificates by a more qualified agent

what strategy should distribution automation product manufacturers adopt in the coal industry?

Mr. zhangzhifeng, research manager of frost Sullivan industrial automation and electronics department, said that for electrical automation manufacturers who expect to enter or consolidate their position in the coal industry, design institutes and integrators in the coal industry are channel partners of strategic significance. Many famous design institutes and integrators in the coal industry, or the local design institutes and integrators where the coal mine is located, play a decisive role in recommending electrical automation products. Many unknown domestic brand distribution automation products are penetrated through these structural holes related to the coal industry

in terms of national policies, the State encourages the integration and reorganization of large coal enterprises and the integration of upstream and downstream industries in the eleventh five year plan to improve industrial concentration. At present, many coal companies have formulated this strategy, especially those companies whose coal resources are almost exhausted. On the one hand, they are vigorously developing a variety of upstream and downstream businesses, including coal chemical industry, coal power integration, etc. on the other hand, they are also actively merging and acquiring some small and medium-sized coal mines in the region to realize the integration and reorganization of resources, assets, technology, manpower and other production factors. In this way, many powerful coal groups have been formed, and their role and influence in product procurement cannot be ignored. In fact, the major decision-making power of almost all coal companies is controlled by the group. Electrical automation manufacturers should pay enough attention to the decision-making power of the group when marketing products and participating in bidding

finally, China's coal industry is still in the middle of agriculture and industry, and its development level is relatively low. At present, the two most important indicators in the industry are safety and production capacity. Although it is advocated that the coal industry should save energy and protect the environment, it will take time to really implement it into the industry norms. On the one hand, this is because of the shackles of the current development level and the lack of attention. On the other hand, the current energy-saving plan has not really been understood and recognized by users. In the research, it is found that many users who have tried energy-saving solutions believe that the energy-saving solutions do not really meet their needs. Users prefer to see the overall energy-saving solutions proposed in combination with management, rather than just saving energy on some equipment or a process. This requires that manufacturers providing energy-saving solutions must have stronger industry experience and knowledge, and have an in-depth understanding of the specific conditions and requirements of each target customer, and finally give an energy-saving solution that is most suitable for this target customer as a whole

in a word, the development level of China's coal industry is still relatively low, but for all electrical automation manufacturers, this also implies that its potential is also very large. Frost Sullivan believes that as long as we can fully understand the development and trends of the coal industry and effectively meet the needs of users, we believe that every electrical automation manufacturer can find the entry point of its products in this industry
