In recent years,China’s energy structure has been continuously optimized,renewable energy has flourished,and key technologies have made new breakthroughs.From wind power to photovoltaics,a series of innovative achievements have emerged one after another.The pace of transformation and upgrading of traditional industries has accelerated,and the level of digitization has greatly improved,injecting strong green momentum into high-quality economic development.
Recently,the National Energy Administration released statistical data on the national power industry from January to November.As of the end of November,the cumulative installed power generation capacity in China was about 3.23 billion kilowatts,a year-on-year increase of 14.4%.Among them,the installed capacity of solar power generation is about 820 million kilowatts,a year-on-year increase of 46.7%;The installed capacity of wind power is about 490 million kilowatts,a year-on-year increase of 19.2%.
“In recent years,China has made remarkable achievements in the process of in-depth promoting energy transformation and upgrading.The rapid development of renewable energy such as wind and rain not only provides more options for energy supply,but also promotes the clean and efficient use of fossil energy,”said Gao Xiang,an academician of the CAE Member.
In practical applications,the achievements of renewable energy generation are particularly remarkable.The power generation capacity of the 1.1 million kilowatt photovoltaic power generation project in Kashgar,Tarim Oilfield of China Petroleum Corporation has exceeded 800 million kilowatt hours.It is estimated that this 800 million kilowatt hours of electricity can meet the annual electricity demand of nearly 400000 households,equivalent to burning 240000 tons of standard coal,reducing carbon dioxide emissions by about 530000 tons,and planting more than 27 million trees;Macheng City in Hubei Province is a multi energy complementary million kilowatt new energy base,with a cumulative power generation of 868 million kilowatt hours this year.This is the first time that the”green power”transmission has exceeded the 800 million kilowatt hour mark;In Xizang,the development of clean energy is growing rapidly,and the proportion of clean energy power generation in the whole region has exceeded 99%,basically realizing the full clean power supply.
In the process of low-carbon energy transformation,the deep integration of digital technology and the energy industry has also become an important driving force for this process.The”Several Opinions on Accelerating the Digital and Intelligent Development of Energy”previously issued by the National Energy Administration proposed that in response to the digital and intelligent transformation and development needs of industries such as electricity,coal,and oil and gas,the integration and application of digital and intelligent technology should be used to fill the gaps in transformation and development,and provide effective support for high-quality energy development.By 2030,China will initially establish a digital and intelligent innovation application system for various links of the energy system,fully activate the potential of data elements,and break through a number of common key technologies that restrict the development of energy digitalization and intelligence.
At the Shandong Electric Power Green Smart Sorting Center,smart innovation has become a distinctive feature of the center.The center has built dismantling projects for cables,wires,switchgear,etc.,achieving four leading levels in smart technology,sorting efficiency,scientific research innovation,and comprehensive benefits;At a power dispatch center in Hulunbuir City,staff are monitoring the operation of the power system in real-time through the numbers on the large screen.When the number jumps to 10000.76,it marks the first time that the new energy generation capacity of the incremental distribution network in the high-tech zone has exceeded 100 million kilowatt hours.This is not only a powerful proof of the development of clean energy and the promotion of green economic transformation in Hulunbuir City,but also a microcosm of the digital and intelligent development of energy in China.
Tang Libo,Deputy Director of the Institute of Technology and Standards at the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology,stated that digital transformation has become a key path to promote high-quality development of the energy industry.Through digital means,the resource reallocation of the energy industry can be optimized,the efficiency of each major link can be improved,carbon emissions can be reduced,and the green,low-carbon,and efficient development of the energy industry can be promoted.Digital transformation will promote the deep integration of energy innovation chain,industry chain,capital chain,talent chain,and data chain,injecting new vitality into the high-quality development of the energy industry.
Tian Zhiyu,Director of the Sustainable Center of the Energy Institute of the National Development and Reform Commission,suggested that in the future,exploration and innovation should be encouraged to enhance the”gold content”of development through the”green content”of energy.He stated that China has a large total energy demand,multiple application scenarios,and active market innovation,and is at the forefront of global energy transformation and development.To further deepen innovation in green and low-carbon technology research and development,policy systems,business models,etc.,based on the first mover advantages already achieved in industries such as energy conservation and environmental protection,clean energy,and electric vehicles.By continuously creating new supply,stimulating new demand,and driving new momentum,forging new industries,technologies,and advantages for the future.
