State Grid Shanghai Energy Internet Research Institute settled in Zhangjiang Science City

China Energy Storage Network News: On March 5, 2019, the State Grid Shanghai Energy Internet Research Institute, the only research institute of State Grid Corporation of China currently focusing on the development of future power distribution and urban energy Internet technology, officially moved into Zhangjiang. It will become a frontier city for State Grid Corporation of China to support the construction of Shanghai's global science and technology innovation center and promote energy transformation and provide high-quality scientific and technological supply.

At the same time, the "Shanghai Urban Energy Internet White Paper", which was researched by State Grid Shanghai Electric Power Company for a year, was released today. It revealed that in 2020, the Zhangjiang Science City Energy Internet Demonstration Project with Zhangjiang Science City's 95 square kilometers as its core will be basically completed.

In April 2018, the Shanghai Municipal People's Government and State Grid Corporation of China signed the "Strategic Cooperation Framework Agreement on Jointly Promoting the Construction of Shanghai's Globally Influential Science and Technology Innovation Center", and the Urban Energy Internet became the "core energy issue" in the construction of Shanghai's global science and technology innovation center. In August of the same year, the State Grid Shanghai Energy Internet Research Institute, jointly invested and constructed by China Electric Power Research Institute and State Grid Shanghai Electric Power Company, was unveiled.

State Grid Shanghai Energy Internet Research Institute is the only research institute of State Grid Corporation of China that focuses on the development of future power distribution and urban energy Internet technology. It is of great significance to promote the upgrading of my country's power distribution technology and promote the innovation of ubiquitous power Internet of Things technology. At the same time, the establishment of a high-end R&D institution in Shanghai by State Grid Corporation of China will strongly support the construction of Shanghai's world-class urban power grid and comprehensively lead and drive the innovation and upgrading of my country's urban power grid technology. The institute will focus on three core businesses: scientific and technological research and development, engineering demonstration, and achievement transformation in combination with the layout plan of Shanghai's strategic emerging industries.

As an institution supporting the construction of Zhangjiang Science City, Zhangjiang Science City Energy Service Center was put into use on the same day and released the Smart City Energy Cloud Platform 1.0. By collecting, analyzing and applying energy big data, it not only provides energy monitoring and energy optimization management for the government and energy companies such as electricity, water, and gas, but also provides open, shared, flexible and intelligent comprehensive energy service interaction for energy customers and energy service companies. The center will become an important demonstration for State Grid Shanghai Electric Power Company to build a modern energy service system, establish an energy steward brand and improve the business environment.

According to reports, the State Grid Shanghai Energy Internet Research Institute is the affiliated unit of the Energy Internet Standardization Committee of the China Electricity Council. The Standardization Committee is currently the only technical standard-setting organization in my country's energy internet field, and undertakes the technical support work for relevant national policy activities. The inaugural meeting of the Standardization Committee and the first plenary meeting of the committee held today clearly proposed to carry out the top-level design of my country's energy internet technology development and standard system, build a working mechanism for cross-industry, cross-field and cross-departmental coordinated development, combine pilot demonstrations to promote the coordinated interaction of technological innovation and standard guidance, create a typical model that can be replicated and promoted, and promote the development of related industries.

The Shanghai Urban Energy Internet White Paper is an important research achievement in the field of urban energy Internet. It includes five core contents: urban energy transformation demands, urban energy Internet connotation, functions and architecture, core technologies, construction paths and goals. The white paper aims to improve Shanghai's urban energy security level, promote energy conservation and emission reduction, optimize energy structure, enhance smart grids and ubiquitous power Internet of Things, and will lead Shanghai to build a world-class urban energy Internet with hub-type, platform-type and sharing characteristics.

Zhangjiang to build world-class power distribution network

The white paper clearly puts forward the definition of urban energy internet for the first time, and discloses that it will build a world-class urban energy internet project with the largest scale, leading technology, complete energy use forms and the highest level of intelligence in China with 95 square kilometers of Zhangjiang Science City as the core, providing a model for promotion and application in Shanghai and other cities. By 2020, the Zhangjiang Science City Energy Internet Demonstration Project will be basically completed; by 2030, Shanghai will form a new urban energy operation mode of "one network" for urban energy, establish a "city benchmark" for energy internet construction and a "Chinese solution" for global energy economic transformation.
