​T9432 Recently, the “Third China Power Construction Digital Economy Forum” hosted by the China Power Construction Enterprise Association was held in Hangzhou. Schneider Electric, a digital transformation expert in the field of global energy management and automation, was invited to attend, and demonstrated Schneider Electric’s overall solution for smart power plants to experts and enterprise partners from all walks of life in the fields of power grid, power generation, engineering construction, etc. And bring the latest practice to share, for the digital transformation of China’s power construction industry, intelligent development continues to empower.

​T9432 The power industry is a pillar industry of our economy, which concerns the national economy and people’s livelihood. Facing the “double carbon” goal, the power industry urgently needs to speed up the construction of new power systems to ensure the safe and reliable supply of energy and electricity. Due to the characteristics of “rich coal, poor oil and less gas” in China, thermal power, especially coal power, will still be the “ballast stone” to ensure power supply. In this context, how should the thermal power industry balance supply and low carbon to achieve green and sustainable development?

Recently, the National Energy Administration has issued “Several Opinions on Accelerating the Development of Digital and Intelligent Energy” and “Notice on Strengthening Power Reliability Data Governance and Deepening Reliability Data Application Development”. From “strengthening the new infrastructure construction of the integration of traditional energy and digital intelligent technology” to “accelerating the construction of power reliability management system based on real-time data”, it has pointed out the development direction for the industry.

​T9432 “To promote the digitalization and green low-carbon transformation of the energy and power industry, it is necessary to deeply integrate digital technology and power technology to activate new quality productivity.” “However, traditional thermal power plants are currently facing challenges such as data silos, frequent unplanned downtime failures, low decision-making efficiency, and labor shortages.” Wang Guiliang, power industry manager of Schneider Electric’s Digital Capability Center, said, “Building ‘safe, efficient and low-carbon’ smart power plants has become the trend of The Times. With advanced digital solutions, Schneider Electric can help customers build 3D visual, measurable and controllable virtual power plants, fully unlocking the value potential of energy data elements to further optimize the production safety and management reliability of power plants, and ultimately enable the synergistic development of digital and green enterprises.”
