The first batch of smart grid standards are being stepped up and are expected to be introduced this year.

As a strategic emerging industry, smart grids will become one of the important application areas of the Internet of Things. The reporter learned from the authoritative department that the relevant standards of the current smart grid are stepping up development, and the chip industry will catch the rapid development of the smart grid.

The reporter learned that since April, the National Development and Reform Commission has commissioned experts from the Chinese Academy of Engineering and the Chinese Academy of Sciences to organize experts to carry out consultation and research on the development priorities of the 12th Five-Year Strategic Emerging Industries.

According to a reporter from the Chinese Academy of Engineering, in the emerging industry, the Internet of Things is clearly one of the key development directions, and the smart grid is one of the important application areas of the Internet of Things.

The above-mentioned sources stated that prior to the large-scale construction of the smart grid in China, the establishment of a smart grid standard system will be the top priority. The first batch of more than 30 smart grid standards are expected to be introduced this year.

He said that in the future, smart grids will eventually require hundreds of standards. Currently, priority areas for urgently setting standards in planning are: demand response and consumer energy efficiency, wide-area situation awareness, energy storage, advanced metering infrastructure, and distribution networks. Management, network security, network communications, etc.

The reporter learned that in the development of smart grids, smart meters will gain greater room for development. It is reported that the smart meter can realize the time-of-use price, adjust it when the load is too high, and the user can also choose to use electricity during the period.

With the upgrading of smart meters, chip designers are also faced with more complex requirements and greater opportunities. According to Ramtron International, the world leader in integrated semiconductor products, the metrology market will be one of the fastest growing areas in the future.

In addition to foreign-funded enterprises, local companies in China are also actively deploying meter chips. GF Securities Researcher Xu Bo, said that Taiwan-based shares, China Microelectronics, Silan Micro, Shanghai Belling have strong technical strength.
