Representative Huang Dinan: Accelerate the construction of urban energy internet to promote green and shared urban development

China Energy Storage Network News: China has become the world's largest energy producer and consumer. The traditional energy production and consumption models can no longer adapt to the new international energy development situation. Urban energy Internet is an inevitable trend of energy development in the new era. National People's Congress representative Huang Di'nan suggested accelerating the construction of urban energy Internet to promote green and shared urban development.

Representative Huang Dinan said that the urban energy Internet has become an important strategic development direction in the international energy field today. Many countries and regions, including the United States, Germany, and Singapore, have carried out a lot of research and practice on urban energy Internet. The urban energy Internet is an energy system that will meet the various energy use needs of cities in the future. It is the receiving node and important support of the global energy Internet and the Chinese energy Internet in urban areas. It is a platform for the interconnection, comprehensive utilization, and optimized sharing of various energy sources in cities. It has core ideas such as cross-domain balance and low-carbon energy conservation, as well as the characteristics of networking, cleanliness, electrification, and intelligence. Accelerating the construction of urban energy Internet can promote the transformation of urban energy systems from fossil energy to clean energy, meet the development needs of low-carbon, high-efficiency, and energy-saving in cities, is in line with the national energy economic development strategy, and is the only way for my country's new round of energy revolution and green and friendly urban development.

With the rapid economic development and urbanization level in my country, the demand for energy in cities is growing. However, the energy resources in most cities in my country are limited and unevenly distributed. Except for some renewable energy, other energy sources are basically supplied from outside. Moreover, due to the characteristics of "rich in coal, poor in oil and little gas", the large-scale use of fossil energy has brought serious pollution problems to cities, which runs counter to the development concept of "green city". Representative Huang Dinan said that in the context of a new round of energy revolution, efforts should be made to improve the carrying capacity and operating efficiency of urban energy infrastructure across the country, accelerate the transformation of urban energy use habits, realize clean energy substitution and comprehensive optimization of energy allocation, and accelerate the construction of urban energy Internet.

He said that the development prospects of urban energy Internet are broad and its advantages are obvious. It is conducive to the interconnection of different types of energy, the promotion of new energy consumption, and the optimization of resource sharing. It is conducive to breaking the bottleneck of urban development, promoting national urbanization development, and building green ecological cities. It is conducive to improving the safety and self-healing ability of urban energy supply systems, which is of great significance to ensuring national security. It is conducive to promoting the research and development and application of technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, cloud computing, the Internet of Things, distributed power sources, electric vehicles, energy conservation and environmental protection, thereby driving the adjustment and upgrading of the economic industrial structure; it is conducive to improving the level of social public services.

To this end, Representative Huang Dinan suggested expanding the demonstration and application of energy internet in national central cities. With the advancement of the "three-step" strategy in the new era, a new round of economic and social development will surely be launched. It is recommended that in the process of urban planning and implementation, combined with the urban location and functional layout, priority should be given to promoting the construction of energy internet with high standards and high quality in central cities such as Shanghai and Beijing, so as to achieve energy sharing and co-construction, interconnection and interoperability, and accumulate experience to form a demonstration effect. At the same time, formulate an action plan for urban energy internet and comprehensively promote the construction of urban energy internet. Summarize the experience of urban energy internet demonstration project construction carried out at home and abroad, focus on comprehensive layout, create a policy environment conducive to the development of urban energy internet, issue corresponding guiding opinions, actively promote the sharing and collaboration of relevant energy enterprises, guide enterprises to innovate business models, and comprehensively promote the construction of urban energy internet.

In addition, we need to build a comprehensive energy service platform with electricity as the center, in which all kinds of energy in the city are interconnected, efficiently utilized, and optimized and interactive. We should take the smart grid as the basic platform for energy allocation, promote the organic integration of multiple energy sources and electricity, take improving the level of electrification as the fundamental measure to optimize the energy structure and improve energy efficiency, promote the efficient use of clean energy, increase the promotion of electric energy substitution in the terminal field, promote the optimal allocation of different types of energy in the city, and solve the problems of huge urban energy demand, resource scarcity, and environmental protection.
