Past, Present and Future of Smart Grid

The smart grid technology bears and promotes the third industrial revolution. At present, the smart grid technology continues to deepen. What characteristics will the development show?

China's smart grid has entered a phase of comprehensive construction, with steady progress at all levels of planning, promotion projects are progressing smoothly, and the level of intelligence in the power grid is continuously improving. At the same time, the policy environment for the development of smart grids in China has been continuously improved, and measures and means have become increasingly abundant. In 2014, as a basic energy facility for social development, the smart grid will usher in greater opportunities for development.

As an important carrier for a new round of energy transformation, the smart grid plays a central and leading role in the intelligentization of energy systems. The United States, the European Union, Japan and other countries and regions have formulated roadmaps for the development of smart grid technologies that meet their own characteristics, increase research investment, accelerate the pace of technological innovation, and promote the development of key technologies. Innovation activities such as international cooperation, joint investment, technical cooperation, and standard setting in the smart grid field have become increasingly active. China has led or participated in the formulation of relevant international standards, leading domestic enterprises to implement the “going out” strategy and assisting local enterprises in opening up international markets.

Expert Views Deputy Director of the Grid Development Research Institute of the State Grid Energy Research Institute Huang Wei Power Grid is both a carrier and a platform for power transmission, and an important public service facility. With the application of modern information communication and intelligent control technologies, the power grid and the Internet, television networks, broadcast networks and other networks will be fully integrated to form an open, efficient, high-quality and convenient public network service platform. This platform can realize energy flow and information flow. The highly integrated and integrated application has become an important carrier for promoting the development of a low-carbon economy. It has played an important role in the transformation of energy strategies and has become a “central system” that affects the efficient operation of modern society.

Looking ahead to the development of smart grid in 2014, I believe that, first, the smart grid will be more integrated with urban development and become an important support for the development of smart cities. Secondly, the comprehensive benefits of smart grids will receive more and more attention. Further exploration of new business models to ensure the new business efficiency of smart grids and the healthy and sustainable development have become important tasks in the near future.

Looking into the future, the “network” and “resources” attributes of the power grid will be further enhanced. The level of intelligentization and automation of power grids will mature; power supply companies will formulate customized power supply solutions according to the needs of different customers, maximize the benefits of individual users while maximizing the benefits of the entire society; the scope of the network will expand and information will be globally networked. To achieve the optimal allocation of global resources.

@ Clouds and Lights - Pudong: With the smart grid, our home life is even smarter. Smart home has a big advantage is saving electricity and environmental protection, my family is the drinking fountains, washing machines, microwave ovens, rice cookers, gas water heaters add scene mode, the family automatically cut off the power of these devices when they go out, go home automatically open, convenient and environmentally friendly .
