Smart Grid Brings Major Development Opportunities for Power-related Industries

As the development direction of the future power industry, the smart grid has been recognized by many countries in the world. According to China's national conditions, the State Grid Corporation of China has formulated a strategic goal for the development of a strong, reliable, cost-effective, environmentally friendly, transparent, open, friendly and interactive smart grid with the UHV grid as the backbone grid and coordinated development at all levels of the grid. At present, the smart grid exploration in various countries has gradually developed into the application and pilot phase, and gradually formed a certain consensus that the smart grid should cover all aspects of the power industry, rather than some of them.
The development and construction of smart grids is a systematic project involving many disciplines and industries. At the same time, smart grids do not have ready-made experience for reference. We must base ourselves on China's national conditions and adhere to independent innovation. Therefore, a strong smart grid will greatly improve the overall technical level of China's power industry and related industries, improve the system innovation capability of the power industry and related industries, drive the overall optimization and upgrading of the power industry and related industries, and promote high-tech industries and emerging technologies. The rapid development of the industry plays an important role in promoting economic and social coordination and sustainable development. It is of great significance for China to achieve energy conservation and emission reduction, safeguard national energy security, and lead and promote knowledge and technological innovation.

Promote energy industry optimization and upgrading

China's primary energy resources have "congenital deficiencies" in the reverse distribution of productivity. Since coal resources in China are highly concentrated in the western and northern regions, the average railway transportation distance exceeds 1200 km (long-distance over 2300 km), resulting in coal exported to the southeastern coastal areas in terms of price compared with imported coal. Competitive Advantage. In addition, extensive exploitation, simple processing, and high pollution and high consumption of coal production areas still exist in our country, which makes the ecological environment in the western and northern regions more fragile.

By building a strong smart grid, coal-to-electricity conversion ratios in coal-producing areas can be increased, the industrial chain for coal development and utilization can be prolonged, and the coordinated development of regional economies can be promoted, so that their resource advantages can be effectively transformed into economic advantages and the development of the local economy can be promoted. In particular, it can promote the optimization of the local energy industry structure, and on the basis of economic development, try to combine the sustainable development model of resource development and ecological reconstruction. For example, to promote the deep processing and comprehensive utilization of low-rank coal, accelerate the ecological reconstruction and land reclamation in mining areas, increase the management and utilization of gas and coking gas, and promote the comprehensive utilization and treatment of coal mine production waste resources.

The smart grid can also reduce environmental pollution while directly driving primary energy output, increasing production capacity, and promoting the optimization and upgrading of industrial structure. Some studies have shown that through the overall planning and increasing the proportion of transmission, the eastern part of China can reduce sulfur dioxide emissions by 550,000 tons/year by 2020, and the national environmental loss by 4.48 billion yuan/year.

Boost the development of clean energy industry

China's renewable energy resources are characterized by large scale, concentrated distribution, and remoteness from load centers. We must take the development path of concentrated development, scale delivery, and large-scale consumption. With the increasing proportion of clean energy in the power supply structure, the bottleneck of eliminating large-scale clean energy is becoming increasingly prominent. On the other hand, distributed power and energy storage systems will take shape, but the existing power grid is not yet fully adapted. The randomness and intermittent characteristics of wind power and solar power generation require a significant increase in the power grid's rapid, stable and reliable energy exchange and transmission capabilities, as well as safe and stable operation levels. At the same time, it puts forward strict requirements on power grid operation control, dispatch command, and low-cost and high-efficiency operations. The request.

The ability of a smart grid to access, absorb, and steadily deliver clean energy in a large area will continue to increase, and access to and dissipation of distributed energy systems will continue to increase, which will greatly increase the scale of renewable energy. The earth promotes the demand for clean energy and new energy power generation equipment, distributed energy and power generation equipment, and various types of grid control and protection equipment, and drives the rapid development of energy storage, power electronic components and systems industries.

In addition, through the smart grid platform, complementary and balanced utilization of different energy sources can be achieved, their availability and effectiveness can be enhanced, the efficient use of clean energy and scientific development can be promoted, the efficiency of comprehensive utilization of energy can be improved, and energy conservation and emission reduction can be promoted.
