Qiu Zhongtao, deputy director of the Research Office of State Grid Corporation of China, said at the seminar that the transformation of State Grid Corporation of China into a "hub-type, platform-type, and sharing-type" enterprise, the construction and operation of a strong smart grid and ubiquitous power Internet of Things, is precisely to provide customers with safer, more economical, and more convenient integrated energy services, and is committed to achieving the goal of "win-win-win" for society, power companies, and customers, and ultimately building a world-class energy Internet company. He introduced the work of State Grid in the field of integrated energy services. Integrated energy services are an important application of the ubiquitous power Internet of Things, including equipment maintenance, integrated energy supply, energy-saving transformation, clean microgrids, smart homes/communities, and other aspects. The development of integrated energy services will develop in a more intelligent, safe, and convenient direction with the construction and deployment of the ubiquitous power Internet of Things and the application of information and communication technologies such as cloud, big data, Internet of Things, mobile intelligence, blockchain, and edge computing. He said that integrated energy services and the ubiquitous power Internet of Things are now in their infancy, and key technologies, market mechanisms, business models, and other aspects need to be further researched, innovated, and applied.

Wang Zhengtao, Chairman of State Grid Information and Communication Industry Group, introduced that as a professional company of State Grid Corporation of China engaged in information and communication construction, State Grid Information and Communication Industry Group has accumulated a large number of technologies, products and solutions in the construction of power grid information and communication over the years, and created a full-industry chain business product system covering "cloud-network-edge-end-core-intelligence", forming competitive technical products and solutions such as State Grid core, intelligent terminals, integrated air-ground-space communication network, Beidou and geographic information services, big cloud, Internet of Things, mobile and intelligence platform, smart applications, network and information security, which can fully support the construction needs of ubiquitous power Internet of Things perception layer, network layer, platform layer, application layer, etc.

The ubiquitous power Internet of Things will become the Internet of Things ecosystem with the most connected devices. A large ecosystem with full-time connection, full-area coverage, and interconnection of all things will be formed. The huge industrial transformation capabilities and social driving forces will continue to be released, leading the energy industry to achieve high-quality development. State Grid Information and Communication Industry Group hopes to jointly build a ubiquitous power Internet of Things ecosystem with various enterprises, universities, and institutes, create a ubiquitous power Internet of Things ecosystem of co-construction, sharing, and win-win, and jointly promote the continuous development of the ubiquitous power Internet of Things.

Advanced information and communication technology

Supporting the construction of ubiquitous power Internet of Things

The ubiquitous power Internet of Things is an important material foundation for building a world-class energy Internet company. It advances in tandem with the strong smart grid, complements each other, and develops in an integrated manner. It is the "second network" of the State Grid Corporation of China, which is characterized by intelligence, diversity, and ecology. It is an industrial ecology with multi-party participation, win-win cooperation, and open sharing.

From the perspective of key information and communication technologies, the perception layer of the ubiquitous power Internet of Things focuses on sensor and chip technologies; the network layer focuses on wireless private network technology and Beidou navigation technology; the platform layer focuses on optimizing the cloud platform and the unified data center for all businesses, and strengthening the construction of the enterprise middle platform; the application layer focuses on network security protection technology. All layers of the Internet of Things require the support of information and communication technologies.

At this seminar, Sun Dedong, deputy general manager of State Grid Information and Communication Industry Group, based on the "three types and two networks", conducted an in-depth analysis of the connotation of the ubiquitous power Internet of Things from four aspects: concept proposal, concept understanding, development trend, and typical construction conditions at home and abroad. He said that all layers of the Internet of Things require information and communication technology support, and hoped to rely on the group's "cloud-network-edge-end-core" product system and industrial system, with chips as the core, to vigorously develop the ubiquitous power Internet of Things industry, create a ubiquitous power Internet of Things industry ecosystem of co-construction, co-governance and win-win, promote the construction of the ubiquitous power Internet of Things industry alliance, and promote the development of the ubiquitous power Internet of Things.

Strengthen independent chip research and development

Assisting in the construction of ubiquitous power Internet of Things

In recent years, many countries in the world have proposed the concepts of Industrial Internet and Internet of Things, which are essentially the same, and are both aimed at optimizing the allocation of industrial factors and promoting continuous innovation. Technically, it is the penetration of the Internet into "things". The core is to use chips, sensors, communications and information technology to achieve ubiquitous connection and management between things, things and people, and people.

The development model of independent and controllable chips is essentially to create a good power chip development ecosystem, so that power chip application units, power terminal manufacturers, power chip design companies, power chip standard organizations, etc. in this ecosystem can fully communicate, closely cooperate, and reasonably divide the work to jointly promote the localization of power chips. "We hope to uphold the concept of open cooperation, mutual benefit and win-win, seize the current major historical opportunities for the development of the Internet of Things, and jointly promote the localization of chips with the industry to escort the construction of the ubiquitous power physical network." Zhao Dongyan, executive director of Zhixin Company of State Grid Information and Communication Industry Group, gave a detailed explanation of the application needs of ubiquitous power Internet of Things chips, the current status of China's chip industry, the foundation of the State Grid chip industry, power chip products and applications, etc.

He believes that the development of the ubiquitous power Internet of Things industry cannot be achieved alone, but should give full play to the role of the state, industry, upstream and downstream enterprises in the industrial chain, universities, associations, etc., to build a market-oriented breakthrough mechanism with in-depth collaboration between production, education, research and application, so as to occupy a dominant position in market competition and technological research and development, and effectively promote the overall improvement of industrial capabilities.
