Combining the research and practice of promoting China's power transformation with UHV power grid and promoting the world's energy transformation with global energy Internet in recent years, I believe that taking the promotion of energy transformation as a breakthrough, accelerating the construction of global energy Internet, and promoting the integrated development of global energy, information and transportation networks are of great significance to promoting the innovative development of the real economy, and will create new opportunities, inject new momentum and achieve new development for the transformation of China and the world economy.

The integration of three networks is an inevitable requirement for economic transformation and upgrading

The integrated development of the three networks of global energy, information and transportation is a theoretical innovation proposed to promote the transformation and development of the global economy based on the successful practice of China's ultra-high voltage power grid and the global energy Internet. The general idea is: take the world's energy transformation and information technology revolution as an opportunity, take the global infrastructure interconnection as a guarantee, give play to the advantages of network economy and scale economy, accelerate the formation of a new pattern of integrated development of the three (special) networks of global energy, information and transportation, namely "Watts, Bits, Meters", promote the transformation and upgrading of the world economy, and achieve the development goals of high electrification, high intelligence, high globalization and high humanization.

The integration of the three networks is an objective requirement for the development of productivity. With electricity as the driving force and data as the link, the modern energy network, information network, and transportation network show a development trend of mutual intersection, mutual support, and mutual complementation. This is the fundamental internal cause of the development of the integration of the three networks. Energy, information, and transportation play an important role as basic guarantee, economic pillar, and innovation engine in economic and social development. This is the fundamental driving force for the development of the integration of the three networks. The interconnection and coordinated development of the three networks can create huge economies of scale and network economic effects, which is the source of value for the development of the integration of the three networks.

The integration of three networks is the inevitable result of technological innovation. Energy technologies such as UHV and smart grids are becoming more mature, information technologies such as the Internet of Things and big data are widely used, and transportation technologies such as electrified high-speed railways and electric vehicles are booming, promoting the continuous innovation of cross-border integration technologies such as power optical fiber communications, vehicle networking, and autonomous driving. New formats and models such as "Internet + Energy" and "Internet + Transportation" are constantly emerging, laying a technical foundation for the development of the integration of three networks. Relying on technological innovation, the energy network, information network, and transportation network have entered a stage of development with large-scale interconnection. The global 220 kV and above transmission lines are more than 2.5 million kilometers long, providing electricity supply for nearly 6 billion people; the global information network has achieved interconnection through more than 250 submarine optical cables and more than 700 communication satellites, serving a population of more than 3.5 billion people; the global railway mileage exceeds 1.3 million kilometers, covering more than 150 countries, and the global highway mileage exceeds 230,000 kilometers, covering more than 80 countries. The railway network, highway network, aviation, and shipping have basically achieved interconnection between major countries and regions. The development of the integration of three networks is of great value. First, it promotes the transformation of the global economy. It will effectively promote the innovative development of industries in the fields of green energy, Internet economy, and intelligent transportation, stimulate new market demands, give birth to new economic forms, and create a new engine for global economic growth. Second, it will reduce the cost of social development. It will be conducive to the open sharing and efficient use of network facilities and services, and will help reduce resource consumption, reduce development costs, and achieve huge network scale benefits. Third, it will create a smart and beautiful life. In a smarter and more sustainable way, everyone will enjoy clean green energy and convenient and efficient information and transportation services, which will promote the development of smart homes, smart cities, smart countries, and smart earth. Fourth, it will promote the common development of the world. It will effectively promote the global coverage and widespread application of infrastructure, narrow regional differences, promote regional coordinated development, and achieve policy communication, facility connectivity, unimpeded trade, financial integration, and people-to-people exchanges among countries, becoming a powerful driving force for the progress of human society and an important link for world peace.

The development of the integration of three networks creates a powerful new driving force for the real economy

Promoting the integration of the three networks will not only improve the level of energy, information and transportation infrastructure, but also develop and strengthen emerging industries, create new momentum for the development of the real economy, release new vitality, and create new growth. It will effectively promote the essential improvement of the quality and efficiency of economic development, and is of great significance to deepening supply-side structural reforms.

Promoting the integration of the three networks can achieve the huge value of "creating efficiency" and "innovation". The essence of "creating efficiency" is to improve the quality of existing economic development. The three major infrastructures, by giving full play to their respective advantages, continuously expand the scope of connection, improve the transmission capacity, and expand service functions, realize the efficient sharing of channels, facilities, and services, significantly reduce the development cost of the whole society, and improve the circulation and allocation efficiency of energy, information, and transportation elements, creating greater social value; the essence of "innovation" is to improve the potential for economic development, open up economic development space, and realize the exponential superposition effect of the network economy. Through the development of the integration of the three networks, we can promote the coordination and efficient allocation of energy flow, information flow, personnel flow, and logistics, reshape the industrial value chain, create new market demands, and give birth to new economic formats.

Promoting the integration of the three networks can promote the transformation and upgrading of the real economy. Promoting the integration of the three networks, first of all, is to promote the upgrading and development of energy, information, and transportation from traditional industrial forms to green and low-carbon energy, new generation information and communication, and high-speed electrified transportation industries; at the same time, giving play to the interconnection and aggregation effect of the three networks, it can promote the innovative development of my country's manufacturing industry, transform and upgrade from traditional mechanical manufacturing to modern intelligent manufacturing, and achieve the development goal of "Made in China 2025"; it can promote the construction of the global governance system and promote the development of global economic integration; it can significantly improve the electrification, informatization and clean level of the real economy, enter a new stage of economic development with cleaner energy use, smarter production, and more convenient circulation, and achieve a dual improvement in the quantity and quality of my country's real economy.
