IC698CPE030 Distribution network connecting energy production and consumption is a key link in building a new power system. On March 2-3, Schneider Electric, an expert in digital transformation in the field of global energy management and automation, brought a full set of digital solutions to the 2023 (sixth) Power Distribution Technology Summit Forum, focusing on the theme of “Digital empowerment of new distribution system construction, standardization to help safe, reliable and high-quality power supply”, and industry experts and partners, In-depth exchanges were conducted on distribution network construction and digital transformation under the construction of new distribution systems, and the road to green, digital and high-quality development was sought.

During the “14th Five-Year Plan” period, the State Grid proposed that by the end of 2025, the construction of an urban distribution network that is “clean, low-carbon, safe and reliable, flexible and interactive, transparent and efficient” has achieved initial results, and the IC698CPE030 power supply reliability rate of the city network is not less than 99.977%. In December 2022, the Outline of the Strategic Plan for Expanding Domestic Demand (2022-2035) was released, which put forward further clear requirements for strengthening energy infrastructure construction, including improving the security and intelligence level of the power grid, and optimizing the layout of power production and transmission channels. With the acceleration of the construction of new power systems, the distribution network is facing the dual challenges of ensuring the continuous and stable supply of power and accelerating the clean and low-carbon transformation of power, and the demand for intelligent products and innovative applications is becoming stronger.

IC698CPE030 In the keynote speech entitled “Digitization of Distribution Equipment, Consolidating the Cornerstone of urban distribution Network”, Wang Zhao, industry architect of medium voltage power grid business of Schneider Electric Energy Management, took the typical tasks of urban distribution network construction as the background, and sorted out the key needs of distribution network construction for the digitalization of distribution network equipment. He said: “The use of digital technology, the complex power system can be connected in series, effectively deal with the volatility and intermittent risks brought by new energy grid connection, is an important technical support for modern urban distribution grid.” With digital expertise in global energy management, advanced digital solutions and digital twin technology, Schneider Electric can provide a complete set of solutions for the future grid, from top-level planning to implementation, to ensure the safe and reliable supply of electricity, support the diversified load of new energy, and contribute to the construction of high-quality urban distribution networks.”

At the summit, Schneider Electric also highlighted the new generation of IC698CPE030 EvoPacT HVX medium voltage intelligent vacuum circuit breaker, which has more than 40 patents, combined with digital native and modular innovation concepts, to create safe, reliable power supply, excellent and efficient three values for users; Innovative green sulfur hexafluoride (SF6-free) environmental protection medium voltage switchgear, which uses dry air to replace sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) with serious greenhouse effect, helps enterprises accelerate the process of low carbonization and improve the sustainability of operations, is a major milestone for medium voltage distribution equipment and even the entire power system towards clean, efficient and low carbonization; In addition, Schneider Electric has also brought ETAP power simulation analysis software that can provide rich modeling, planning, real-time simulation analysis, digital twin and other functions for the power grid from design to operation and maintenance, to help meet the challenges of future power grid construction resilience prediction and operational fault relief, and effectively improve the toughness of the power grid.

As an important player in China’s modern infrastructure construction, Schneider Electric has always been committed to ensuring electricity security, improving energy efficiency and facilitating the development of clean energy, contributing to the high-quality development of China’s economy. Under the guidance of the “double carbon” goal, Schneider Electric will continue to export digital innovative technologies, products and solutions to the market through innovation, and make greater contributions to the construction of China’s distribution network and new power systems.
