Promoting the healthy and sustainable development of my country's energy internet

At present, the main functions of energy Internet include five aspects:

First, it can improve energy utilization efficiency and resource allocation level, promote the interconnection and complementarity of various types of energy to the greatest extent, promote coordinated interaction between energy supply and demand, realize the revitalization of heavy asset stocks through incremental light assets, and better promote the development of the energy market and promote energy to return to its commodity attributes, thereby improving the energy utilization efficiency and resource allocation level of the entire system.

The second is to improve the clean and low-carbon development level of the energy system. Based on the energy Internet platform, centralized and distributed renewable energy, energy storage equipment and load equipment can be interconnected without distinction, and the system's ability to absorb renewable energy will be greatly improved. In addition, the integration of Internet technology and thinking with the traditional fossil energy industry will help improve the refinement of traditional fossil energy development and utilization, thereby greatly improving the clean and low-carbon development level of the system.

The third is to improve the level of refined management of the energy industry. Based on the energy Internet platform, information and data on energy production, transmission, trading, consumption, etc. can be generated, recorded and analyzed in real time, providing important support for energy system forecasting, energy planning, energy market supervision and energy security supervision, thereby effectively improving the scientific and refined level of energy industry management.

Fourth, it improves the user's energy experience and benefits. The energy Internet can achieve bottom-up, peer-to-peer interconnection between energy self-production units, and every energy consumer can also be an energy producer. In addition, based on the energy Internet platform, users can conduct refined management of energy-using equipment to improve energy efficiency. At the same time, various participants can conduct point-to-point free energy transactions, which increases users' autonomy in choosing energy and improves their energy experience.

Fifth, it provides an open innovation platform based on energy development and consumption. Internet technology injects sufficient information symmetry and system transparency into the energy industry, provides an open innovation platform based on energy development and consumption for participants in the energy system, and provides equal participation opportunities and innovation platforms for all types of participants, which will encourage each participant to maximize their creativity and form a fusion effect.

Regarding the next step of work, under the framework of the "Guiding Opinions" that have been issued, we will adhere to the principles of demonstration first and openness and inclusiveness, actively and steadily promote the construction of energy Internet demonstration projects across the country, sort out new energy Internet technologies, new models, and new business forms that are feasible, sustainable, and popularizable, and promote the healthy and sustainable development of my country's energy Internet.
