The agricultural-photovoltaic complementary power station located in Fenglin Town, Jiangshan City, Quzhou City, Zhejiang Province, can generate 40 million kilowatt-hours of electricity annually. It is a microcosm of Zhejiang's efforts to accelerate the construction of the energy Internet.

"In building a ubiquitous power Internet of Things, we must adhere to demand orientation, focus on improving power grid efficiency, strengthening lean management, cultivating emerging businesses, and expanding value-added services, comprehensively sort out business needs, customer 'pain points', and service 'blind spots', and clarify the focus of system construction and functional applications." Kou Wei, Chairman of State Grid Corporation of China, pointed out. At the same time, we must focus on practicality and effectiveness, give priority to making good use of existing network infrastructure and various systems, check for omissions and fill in gaps in accordance with the needs of the construction of the ubiquitous power Internet of Things, and highlight the shortcomings, strengthen weaknesses, and improve efficiency. We must integrate data resources, vigorously promote information system integration, eliminate data barriers, and improve the level of data analysis and application.

Reconstructing the traditional power grid ecosystem

According to the plan, the construction of ubiquitous power Internet of Things will realize the digitization, networking and intelligence of the power grid through integration with the smart grid, and build the power grid into an equal interconnected platform with full online source, grid, load and storage, full online equipment and devices, and full online industry and ecology, making the power grid a hub for energy transmission and conversion, and a shared platform for social economy and public needs. At the same time, it will drive the transformation of the power grid from a traditional industrial system to a platform type, support the linkage between the supply side and the consumption side, efficiently connect new energy, various types of energy storage, electric vehicles, electric energy substitution, energy efficiency interaction and other elements and services, open sharing and efficiently achieve supply and demand matching.

At the same time, the construction of the energy Internet will lead to a shift in the power grid industry, from traditional electricity supply and infrastructure support to hub-based, platform-based and shared integrated energy services, and will transform the traditional momentum relying on investment into new development momentum relying on technological innovation and model innovation.

The main points include: First, the construction and evolution of the energy Internet will promote and drive green energy development and technological innovation. Energy technology, digital technology, and high-tech integration and innovation will promote ecological development; second, the Internet model and ecology will be implemented based on the energy Internet sharing platform. Under the platform strategy, efficient matching of various elements and social needs in energy supply and value-added services will be achieved, and interest sharing and full transactions will be promoted; third, the combination of energy and the Internet industry will form a new industrial form and provide new development momentum. The energy Internet will drive the emergence of new social benefits and new models by providing green, efficient, and optimized energy supply. Through technological innovation and business innovation, the energy Internet will form a new energy economy and large-scale momentum to drive my country's economic and social development.

During this period, State Grid will create five source-grid-load-storage coordinated services - electric vehicles and distributed new energy, smart home energy use, community multi-energy supply, commercial building energy efficiency improvement, industrial enterprise and park energy efficiency improvement, as well as five energy Internet ecosystems - electric vehicles, distributed photovoltaics, comprehensive energy efficiency, energy e-commerce, and big data commercialization.

Promote the optimization and adjustment of energy structure

The construction of ubiquitous power Internet of Things will promote the deep integration of energy technology and digital technology, improve the stability of the energy system, enhance the effective utilization of clean energy and renewable energy, and drive energy transformation: first, drive the energy structure to green, clean, and renewable, and help the battle against pollution; second, drive the transformation of energy consumption from extensive to efficient utilization. The construction of ubiquitous power Internet of Things will improve the overall efficiency of the energy system, promote the improvement of overall social energy efficiency, drive the rise of green ecology, integrated energy services, and the rapid development of electric vehicles, and form a clean, green, and sustainable social ecology.

Promote the integration and application of core technologies

The construction of ubiquitous power Internet of Things will give full play to the network attributes of the power grid and its advantages of wide coverage and high penetration in the whole society, and drive social transformation and development through comprehensive perception and interconnection. The construction of ubiquitous power Internet of Things will promote the integrated application of high-tech core technologies such as 5G, chips, and artificial intelligence, and drive the innovative development of high-tech in the real industrial industry. It is understood that the State Grid is currently conducting 5G network application tests with the three major operators.

Promoting the implementation of industrial Internet in the power industry

For the country, the construction of ubiquitous power Internet of Things will promote the implementation of industrial Internet in the power industry.

The Industrial Internet is an important strategic step in my country's economic development transformation. Building an energy Internet is to realize the connection of the Industrial Internet in the fields of electricity and energy. It is a new form of energy and power industry that is fully perceived, fully online, and interconnected by all factors, formed by the deep integration of the energy and power system and the Internet system. It will break the traditional industrial system and form a new technology and model system.

The construction of the energy Internet will become a model for comprehensively promoting "Internet +" and using new technologies and new models to transform traditional industries, drive the large-scale formation of the physical Internet, and strongly support the transformation of the Internet economy from virtual to real.

People will have more participation and a greater sense of gain

Energy Internet will transform the traditional power grid industrial system, realize customer-centricity, open sharing to the society, and provide To C services. While enjoying green and clean energy, users will transform from consumers to producers and sellers, and achieve two-way interaction with the power grid. Various forms of green micro-energy will be connected on demand and participate in interactive transactions. In other words, Energy Internet not only provides basic energy supply, but also provides various forms of value-added services. Users can obtain other values ​​and benefits such as energy saving, energy efficiency, and transactions, and increase participation.

At the same time, for the public, the construction of ubiquitous power Internet of Things will enable users and power grid companies to form online connections, realize the choice of energy use methods, and choose the time, electricity price, energy object, etc. Moreover, the public will get more efficient energy services at the same price, which will enhance their sense of gain.

In addition, mass innovation based on the energy Internet platform will realize Internet-style mass entrepreneurship.
