World-class energy Internet companies must be won by the national grid

The world's largest utility company has announced a new goal, which will not only better serve its large customer base of more than 1.1 billion people, but also permanently change the global landscape of the energy industry and the Internet industry.

At the 3rd meeting of the 3rd Staff Representative Conference of the State Grid Corporation of China and the 2018 Working Conference, the State Grid first proposed to start a new journey of building a world-class energy Internet company with excellent competitiveness.

The overall transformation of the energy "elephant"

The State Grid has also planned three phased arrangements, that is, by 2020, the “one strong and three excellent” modern companies will be fully established, and the world-class energy Internet enterprises with excellent competitiveness will be made to make significant progress; by 2025, the basic construction will be excellent. A world-class energy Internet company with competitiveness; by 2035, it will build a world-class energy Internet company with excellent competitiveness.

This also means that the largest Chinese company will turn to the energy Internet as a whole. This transformation will not be a simple connection between energy and the Internet, but a holistic change in the way the national grid operates.

According to the State Grid, eight strategic directions are proposed for this purpose. Building a world-class energy Internet enterprise must first be based on the high-quality development of the power grid, including building an intrinsically safe power grid, building a strong smart grid with UHV as the backbone grid, and building a first-class Modern distribution network.

Secondly, it is necessary to realize high-quality development changes represented by the two major upgrade targets of promoting business transformation and upgrading and promoting management transformation and upgrading.

In addition, it is necessary to promote the development of clean energy, further enhance the balance adjustment capacity of large power grids, promote the high electrification of energy consumption, and promote the construction of a scientific policy system and market mechanism.

In the internal reform, the State Grid will focus on customer-centered, focus on “One Belt and One Road” construction, focus on promoting scientific and technological innovation, and strive to strengthen the party's overall leadership to deepen supply-side structural reforms, including promoting the improvement of scientific electricity prices. Reform measures such as the mechanism, the construction of a unified power market, the promotion of mixed ownership reform, the divestiture of corporate social functions, and the improvement of the management and control mechanism have already taken the road.

The current operating area of ​​the State Grid involves 26 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) in China, covering more than 88% of the country's land area, and has a power supply population of more than 1.1 billion people. It is also operating steadily in the Philippines, Brazil, Portugal, Australia, Italy, Greece. Overseas assets of countries.

Comply with the "re-electrification" direction of the global energy revolution

Such a multinational company will create what the energy Internet will look like, from the smart car network or license under the energy Internet.

Shu Yinbiao, chairman of the State Grid Corporation and party secretary, attended the 2018 annual meeting of the China Electric Vehicles 100 People's Congress on January 21st to explain his understanding and suggestions on the development of China's electric vehicle charging field.

In Shu Yinzhao's view, the symbol of the current new round of energy revolution is re-electrification.

Shu Yinxi said that in the 21st century, a new round of energy revolution aimed at establishing a clean and low-carbon modern energy system is booming around the world, and the energy transformation is accelerating. A new electrification process is being started, that is, re-electrification. From the perspective of energy production, re-electrification is embodied in the large-scale development and utilization of clean energy such as water, wind and solar energy. These clean energy can only be used efficiently when converted into electrical energy. From the perspective of terminal consumption, re-electrification is reflected in electricity to coal and oil. Such as the deep replacement of fossil energy.

In the past 20 years, electric energy has become the fastest growing energy product in terminal consumption. In 2016, global electric energy accounted for about 19% of terminal energy consumption, an increase of nearly 4 percentage points over 2000. China's electricity accounted for 22% of terminal energy consumption, an increase of 7.2 percentage points over 2000, comparable to Germany (21.5%) and the United States (21.9%), far lower than Japan (29.3%) South Korea (25.5%).

Shu Yinxi said that according to the research of the State Grid, upgrading the level of electrification is a key measure to improve energy efficiency. In China, the energy consumption accounts for 1% of the total energy consumption of the terminal, and the energy consumption per unit of GDP can drop by more than 3 percentage points.

Perhaps, re-electrification is the background of the world-class energy Internet companies in the national grid construction.

In this era, electric vehicles are an important symbol of economic and social re-electrification, and also create new opportunities for expanding the electricity market, providing system backup peaking resources, and integrating Internet technologies to develop new formats.

In order to adapt to the "re-electrification" in the automotive field, since 2006, the State Grid has invested a total of 28 billion yuan, built more than 5,000 power stations and charging piles, 56,000 charging piles, forming a "nine-long, nine-horizontal and two-ring" high-speed The highway fast charge network covers 31,000 kilometers of expressways and 19 provinces and 150 cities, providing a full range of services for electric vehicles.

At present, the State Grid has built the world's largest and most comprehensive open smart car networking platform, accessing 170,000 charging stations, of which 845 are shared access communities and more than 800,000 registered customers.

Broad interconnection and three sharing to create new markets

However, the energy Internet model of the existing Internet of Vehicles does not meet the requirements of the world-class energy Internet enterprise for the construction of the national grid. The new ideas of the State Grid can be seen from the three future work mentioned by Shu Yin.

First, to increase the construction of charging facilities, Shu Yinyi's goal is to achieve "charging and refueling as convenient."

In addition to the state power grid will further increase investment, strengthen the construction of charging facilities, and promote the formation of a wide coverage, convenient and intelligent charging service network, Shu Yinzhen proposed, "will actively support social capital investment in the construction of charging facilities, and promote parking spaces in residential areas, institutions Electrification transformation."

The second is to further build a smart car network, the key words are three sharing, namely, “promoting resource sharing, service sharing, and facility sharing”.

Shu Yinying stressed that “actively charging the community to charge the pile and private charging piles to open the car networking platform”, “to jointly provide better services for electric car travel”.

In the sharing mode, the national network provides strong support. These supports include: “Taking full play of the dynamic energy storage characteristics of electric vehicles, increasing coordination and interaction between vehicle networking and smart grids, improving the operation level of power grids”, and “deepening the use of big data”.

Third, we must promote a sound auxiliary service mechanism, which actually implies a new business model.

Shu Yinqi proposed two directions. One is to “encourage electric vehicles to charge when the grid is at a low point, sell electricity at peak times, actively participate in power balance, and promote new energy consumption”. Second, “actively promote the use of power battery ladders and extend power batteries. Value Chain". These two directions have actually opened up two new markets based on the energy Internet.

For example, the participation of electric vehicles in power balance is in line with the exploration of some private enterprises.

Wang Chuanfu, chairman of BYD's board of directors, once calculated an account. The private car only runs for two hours a day, and the power grid is ubiquitous. A BYD E6 can store energy by connecting the grid, charging 60 kWh at a time, and 3 cents at night. At one time, when the peak of the day was 9 cents, the owner could send a command to the car. When the price was high, the electricity was sold, and when the price was low, it was bought. This model not only makes the dynamic energy storage characteristics of electric vehicles provide users with additional benefits, but also helps grid companies to shift peaks and fill valleys.

Considering the mobile characteristics of electric vehicles and the intermittent, volatility and distributed characteristics of new energy sources such as photovoltaics and wind power, the new model can also improve the power balance effect and help solve the problem of national renewable energy consumption. .

From a smart car network, a series of new models and new markets can be deduced, and the new space brought about by the transformation of the overall energy Internet of the national grid, which is among the world's multinational corporations, may be unimaginable.
