Smart grid meets individual needs

Adjusting and optimizing the energy structure, developing a low-carbon economy, building an ecological civilization, and achieving sustainable development have become universal consensus in society today, and have provided the core driving force for the transformation and development of the electric power industry. As a result, the concept of smart grid came into being.

The mode of Power Supply from the central power plant to the grid has always been dominant, but the future trend is that more non-central power generation equipment will supply power to the grid. This includes both small fossil energy power plants and electricity generated from renewable energy sources such as solar power, wind power and biogas power generation. In order to ensure the stability of the load, voltage, and the entire power grid, it becomes necessary to establish a complex power grid architecture.

In the future, large wind farms, large-scale solar power plants, and other renewable energy sources at sea will play an important role in the world's power supply. Consumers and businesses will use the small power generation equipment in the basement or the solar panels on the roof to supply some of the electricity, and then use the intelligent public internet platform to uniformly allocate power from different sources to consumers and home appliances. At the same time, according to the principle of optimization. Let them work when the price of electricity is the lowest and most needed.

The smart grid is a change in the power industry that is driven by the transformation of energy development methods and technological progress. At present, there is no unified definition of smart grids worldwide. However, from the perspective of technology development and application, it can be expressed as: adopting advanced power technology and equipment, as well as information and communication technologies, systematically implementing intelligent monitoring, analysis, and decision-making control of the power grid to support new energy generation and flexible and high-quality power consumption. A safe, reliable, high-efficiency power grid with a high degree of automation and a certain self-healing and interactive function. Compared with traditional grids, smart grids embody the distinctive features of highly integrated power and information.

One of the characteristics of the smart grid is the ability to read and process the current-carrying conditions of power grid equipment, electrical equipment, and transformers in real time. In general, the grid is at the maximum possible load. If you can reduce the peak load or distribute the load over time, avoid expensive peak power, and stabilize the power generation at near-ideal level, you can reduce the investment in infrastructure construction and save the cost of power companies. Smart grids can achieve such load balancing by automatically adjusting and controlling power consuming equipment.

The essence of the smart grid is to meet individualized power demand as the goal. By providing diversified products, high-quality power services can be realized. It can be foreseen that the electric power supply and a variety of power supply modes provided around the needs of electric power production and use will lead and support the transformation of energy development methods, and will inevitably lead the technological upgrade of existing electric power equipment, and will lead to the birth of new types of electric power equipment. Widely used, and then promote the "fourth technological revolution" of the entire social industrial system.

The smart grid has been hailed as the "central system" of the power system. Through the “two-way interactive service model” established by the smart grid, the exchange of information and demand between the power grid and users will be realized. Users can more easily understand the grid information and rationalize the use of electrical appliances. Electric power companies can obtain detailed information on electricity consumption for users, providing them with more flexible and convenient electricity supply and more value-added services. In addition, the smart grid can also be fully integrated with networks such as communications networks, television networks, and broadcast networks, and an open public network service platform can be constructed. The economic value and social value of the smart grid cannot be measured.
