The new round of energy revolution has put forward unprecedented requirements on the technology, functions and forms of power grids. The future power grid will no longer be a simple transmission carrier, but will become a hub for multi-energy conversion and utilization and a platform for optimal resource allocation, and a friendly, open, co-built and shared energy Internet. At present, digital technologies represented by big data, cloud computing, the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, 5G, etc. are profoundly changing human society. The power grid is an important field of digital transformation. At the beginning of the year, State Grid Corporation of China took the lead in the industry to propose the goal of integrating the development of ubiquitous power Internet of Things and strong smart grids to create a world-class energy Internet enterprise with hub-type, platform-type and sharing characteristics. Building a ubiquitous power Internet of Things to empower the power grid is an important way for the power grid to leapfrog and upgrade. State Grid looks forward to strengthening exchanges and deepening cooperation with all parties to jointly promote this important historical process and make unremitting efforts to build a beautiful China and a community with a shared future for mankind.
