This fully reflects the importance of standards, testing and certification system construction to the development of my country's energy internet industry.

Building an internationally leading energy internet standard, testing and certification system is an urgent need to guide the sustainable and healthy development of the energy internet. As a new thing, the energy internet is the product of the deep integration of internet technology, concepts, energy production, transmission, storage, consumption and energy market, and has the characteristics of new technology, new concepts and new models. At the current stage, it is urgent to increase the supply of energy internet standards, testing and certification resources while accelerating the conquest of major key technologies and core equipment of the energy internet and promoting the pilot demonstration of the energy internet. In combination with new technologies and new experiences verified in the process of technical research and pilot demonstration, a number of basic common standards, technical specifications and interface protocols should be formulated to strengthen the guidance of standards, standardize innovative behaviors, form innovative synergies, promote the standardization and modularization of different energy network interface facilities, and avoid the difficulty of realizing the "plug and play" of multi-energy coordinated, interconnected integrated energy networks and energy production and consumption facilities due to the lack of uniformity of standards, specifications and protocols.

Building an internationally leading energy internet standard, testing and certification system is an inevitable choice to lead the technological innovation of energy internet. Energy internet is an open system that efficiently integrates energy flow, information flow and value flow. Carrying out technological innovation of energy internet is a complex system engineering. Whether it is developing energy internet equipment that provides functions such as energy aggregation, flexible distribution, precise control, and non-differentiated access, or building an energy internet trading system and commercial operation platform, it involves many disciplines and is difficult to tackle technical problems. Repeated tests and verifications are required during the innovation process, and all types of access equipment must be strictly certified. In accordance with the development law of energy internet, it is necessary to appropriately advance the construction of energy internet technology equipment testing, testing, and certification systems, take the lead in mastering the test and detection methods of energy internet technology and equipment, lead energy internet technology innovation with first-class test and verification capabilities, improve the quality and reliability of new equipment such as energy routers, and form support services and innovative supervision capabilities for new technologies, new equipment, and new models of energy internet.

Building an internationally leading energy internet standard, testing and certification system is a strategic move to seize the commanding heights of the energy internet industry. As an important strategic support for promoting my country's energy revolution, the energy internet has been included in the "13th Five-Year Plan" development plan, which has brought a rare historical opportunity for the leading development of my country's energy internet. Historical experience shows that having the right to formulate standards can firmly grasp the right to speak in the development of the industry. The current period is an important strategic opportunity for the development of the energy internet. We must give full play to the advantages of my country's early development of the energy internet, great market potential, and the initial formation of development synergy, comprehensively plan to build an internationally leading energy internet standard, testing and certification system, strive to make the core standards become international standards, and lay the foundation for promoting my country's energy internet advanced technology, equipment, standards and models to "go global", enhance the international competitiveness of my country's energy technology and equipment, and promote the implementation of the "Belt and Road" strategy.

2. Build a standard, testing and certification system around the goal of leading the world's energy internet technology innovation

In order to build a standard, testing and certification system closely around the goal of leading the world's energy internet technology innovation, the following points should be noted:

(1) Support services. Energy Internet technology innovation involves the intersection of multiple disciplines such as energy, electrical engineering, materials, information, and data science. It is necessary to systematically plan and coordinate the construction of standards, testing, and certification to provide basic support for energy Internet technology innovation and energy Internet industry development. Through standard formulation, we can quickly build consensus and form unified energy Internet technical specifications to achieve standardization and modularization of key energy Internet technology equipment; through the construction of testing and certification capabilities, we can meet the needs of testing and verification of new technologies, new equipment, and new models of energy Internet, and provide a good carrier for energy Internet technology innovation.

(2) Adhere to international leadership. We should seize the favorable opportunity that the construction of international energy internet standards, testing and certification systems is still in its infancy, learn from my country's relevant experience in the fields of smart grids and ultra-high voltage, promote the establishment of international standardization technical committees for energy internet composed of multidisciplinary experts, establish testing and certification organizations with international mutual recognition of results based on institutions such as the National Product Quality Inspection Center and the National Energy Research and Development Center, formulate a number of basic standards, apply for a number of key patents, and enhance the voice of Chinese institutions in international organizations such as the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), and the International Laboratory Accreditation Alliance (ILAC).

(3) Focus on open innovation. Energy Internet inherits the open nature of the Internet. In the process of building the Energy Internet standards, testing and certification system, we must pay special attention to creating an open and inclusive innovation environment, establish an open standard promotion alliance and standard innovation research base, promote technological innovation and standard formulation in a coordinated and orderly manner, strengthen the support service function of standards for innovation, and avoid standards, testing and certification systems becoming "accomplices" that hinder innovation and form market barriers.
