Expand the power grid value chain and build an energy ecosystem

The year 2019, which has just passed, was the first year for the construction of the ubiquitous power Internet of Things of State Grid Corporation of China. Guided by Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, the company thoroughly implemented the new energy security strategy of "four revolutions and one cooperation" and put forward the strategic goal of "three types and two networks, world-class" at the beginning of the year.

Over the past year, as the core task of implementing the strategic goals, the construction of the ubiquitous power Internet of Things has gathered strength and wisdom, and transformed from conceptual ideas into practical actions - the annual target tasks of optimizing and improving the integration of marketing and distribution have been fully completed, the construction of the State Grid Cloud has been deepened, and the pilot construction of the customer service middle platform, the power grid resource middle platform, the data middle platform and the Internet of Things management platform has been coordinated and promoted; the "Online State Grid" has been fully launched and operated, with more than 19 million registered users; a number of demonstration projects such as smart energy comprehensive services, multi-station integration, modern (smart) supply chain, source-grid-load-storage ubiquitous dispatching and control have been initially completed, and a new generation of e-commerce platforms, mobile office, new energy cloud, and control cloud have been put into trial operation; the first blockchain technology company of a central enterprise has been established, and the largest energy blockchain public service platform in China has been built...

Over the past year, the construction of the ubiquitous power Internet of Things has played a positive role in helping modernize the country's governance capabilities, promoting low-carbon energy transformation, enhancing customer sense of gain, and promoting the modernization of the industrial chain, comprehensively promoting the company's transformation and upgrading and high-quality development.

Start: The transformation and upgrading goals are clear and attract attention from all walks of life

The 19th CPC National Congress drew a grand blueprint for achieving the "Two Centenary Goals" and clearly proposed "deepening the reform of state-owned enterprises, developing a mixed-ownership economy, and cultivating world-class enterprises with global competitiveness." Previously, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council selected 10 units, including the company, as world-class demonstration enterprises.

Against this backdrop, the company has clearly defined the strategic goal of "three types and two networks, world-class", accelerated the construction of ubiquitous power Internet of Things, and demonstrated its responsibility and commitment to actively connect with the "two centenary goals".

Along the timeline, in 2019, the construction of the ubiquitous power Internet of Things moved forward firmly: on January 17, the strategic goal of "three types and two networks, world-class" was clarified; on March 8, the construction of the ubiquitous power Internet of Things was fully deployed, clarifying the construction content of 11 key directions in six aspects, which attracted attention from all walks of life, and related concept stocks rose continuously; one month later, the 2019 special construction plan of the ubiquitous power Internet of Things was released, establishing 4 main lines and 57 construction tasks, and 25 comprehensive demonstration projects; on October 12, the clarion call for deepening the construction of the ubiquitous power Internet of Things was sounded; on October 14, the "Ubiquitous Power Internet of Things White Paper 2019" was released, and the value of the ubiquitous power Internet of Things became clearer.

The construction of ubiquitous power Internet of Things cannot be separated from the support of top-level design and construction system. The company has set up a leading group, integrated and established the State Grid Internet Department, the State Grid Energy Internet Technology Research Institute, the State Grid Energy Internet Economic Research Institute and the State Grid Big Data Center, and mobilized all professions and units to comprehensively promote the construction of ubiquitous power Internet of Things; the outline, three-year plan, 2019 construction plan and all special construction plans of the ubiquitous power Internet of Things have been compiled and completed, providing guidance for the comprehensive construction of units at all levels and the extensive participation of all sectors of society.

The construction of the ubiquitous power Internet of Things is a process of upgrading and transformation for the company, and it also sends a positive signal to the society. During the 2019 National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, the ubiquitous power Internet of Things became a hot word, arousing heated discussions among representatives and members.

What is the charm of ubiquitous power Internet of Things?

From the perspective of promoting energy transformation, Zeng Ming, director of the Energy Internet Research Center of North China Electric Power University, believes that the ubiquitous power Internet of Things is different from the strong smart grid that supports the energy supply-side reform and aims to support the energy consumption revolution. Cui Genliang, chairman of the board of directors of Hengtong Group Co., Ltd., said that the construction of a strong smart grid and the ubiquitous power Internet of Things will play a very important role in the efficient use of energy and further promote energy reform and transformation.

From the perspective of boosting the development of the industrial chain, Gao Feng, deputy director of the Energy Internet Innovation Institute of Tsinghua University, believes that the construction of the ubiquitous power Internet of Things will subvert the traditional ecology of the entire power industry. Nan Cunhui, vice chairman of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce and chairman of Chint Group, said that the ubiquitous power Internet of Things has planned a new development direction for the energy equipment manufacturing industry and provided a practical platform, allowing my country's energy equipment manufacturing companies to keep pace with the times.

The attention is not only from the energy sector. Baidu founder Robin Li expressed his willingness to use AI, big data and other Internet technologies to participate in the construction of the ubiquitous power Internet of Things. Zhang Yunyong, director of China Unicom Research Institute, expressed his willingness to join the energy Internet ecosystem and fully support the construction of the ubiquitous power Internet of Things.

The determination of the top-level design of the ubiquitous power Internet of Things, the clarification of the standard system, and the expectations of all sectors of society have inspired the company to forge ahead and give rise to more exploration and practice.

Empowerment: Stimulate the potential of all levels and promote the improvement of the quality and efficiency of power grid business

The qualified rate of medium-voltage line loss increased by 6%, the number of distribution network emergency repair orders decreased by 28.5% year-on-year, and the average emergency repair time was shortened by 40%... The rise and fall are the achievements made by Jiangsu Lishui Comprehensive Demonstration Zone. The surging vitality of the grassroots is a vivid footnote to the construction of the ubiquitous power Internet of Things.

Optimizing traditional power grid business is an important direction for the construction of ubiquitous power Internet of Things. The company fully grasps the characteristics of traditional power grids, strives to improve the safe and economic operation level of power grids, carries out work around the business of marketing, distribution and dispatching, realizes the real-time and accurate relationship of "station-line-transformer-household", builds "one map of power grid", and improves the level of on-site fault handling, three-phase imbalance management, marketing and distribution inspection and regional energy autonomy.

In addition to making the power grid "stronger", the ubiquitous power Internet of Things is also making the power grid "smarter", greatly improving customers' energy experience, and promoting faster service responses, friendlier service experience, and more diverse service content.

The "Online State Grid" that originated in Shaoxing, Zhejiang has been promoted to the entire network. Electricity users can open the APP to handle multiple services such as buying a car, buying a charging pile, installing a charging pile, and connecting to electricity with one click. In Xuhui District, Shanghai, an old house built in 1924 has now become Shanghai's first modern smart electricity residence. It has been equipped with a home smart gateway system that can deduce household living habits and provide customers with better energy solutions; the electric meter box in the corridor can monitor electrical fire hazards in real time, and work with the community and fire department to achieve social governance through one network. The "Digital Shaoshan" ubiquitous power Internet of Things construction demonstration zone has been initially built in Hunan. In the future, all electricity consumption here can be "controlled with one click" using a mobile phone...

Turning our attention to the enterprise, the construction of ubiquitous power Internet of Things has activated the potential of every cell in the company.

The company has implemented a multi-dimensional lean management system reform to achieve lean management of employee expenses, equipment operation and maintenance, customer service and other value-added aspects; comprehensively promoted physical IDs around the core value chain of the entire life cycle of assets to achieve information integration in all links and upstream and downstream; built a modern (smart) supply chain to improve equipment procurement quality, supply timeliness and smart operation capabilities; conducted mobile operation research at the application layer to basically solve the problem of "one person with multiple terminals" and allow grassroots employees to "go into battle lightly".
