At present, the energy industry is facing major strategic tasks such as ensuring safe and reliable supply, accelerating clean and low-carbon transformation, and helping to achieve the "dual carbon" goal. It is an inevitable choice to accelerate the development of digital and intelligent energy.
Building a digital and intelligent innovation and application system for all aspects of the energy system and cultivating new models and new formats require stronger computing power support. For example, with the continuous growth of power demand and the increasingly prominent characteristics of peak loads, the safe and stable operation of the power system is facing new challenges. The smart grid with the deep integration of power computing power as the technical path can realize the interaction of source, grid and load, multi-energy synergy and complementarity, and intelligent regulation and control of energy demand. In some places, "virtual power plants" have been built to aggregate fragmented resources such as distributed power sources, power users, energy storage, and electric vehicles for coordination and optimization, which not only improves the flexibility of power grid operation, but also ensures system stability. In some provinces, these fragmented resources can be dispatched in less than 30 seconds, and the response capacity is basically close to that of a physical power plant. At a time when the global energy pattern is undergoing profound changes, it is necessary to accelerate the construction of an energy computing power application center and better support the intelligent energy production and scheduling system to ensure the safe and reliable supply of energy.
Energy is the main battlefield for promoting carbon peak and carbon neutrality. In promoting the green and low-carbon transformation of energy, digital and intelligent technologies are also playing an increasingly important role. Dig deep into the "bonanza" of data resources, and realize diversified value-added services such as carbon emission metering and green power trading. In Zhejiang, the digital application of "One Map of Electric Energy and Carbon" created by power grid companies has realized the tracking of carbon emissions from power plants to users, providing support for the calculation and analysis of power carbon reduction, decision-making optimization, etc. Some places have used digital technology to promote the deep coupling of comprehensive energy services with energy-using scenarios such as new smart cities, smart parks, and smart buildings, improving the green and low-carbon benefits of services. Rational allocation of high-quality computing resources and promotion of the application of digital and intelligent technologies in the whole chain and all links of the energy industry can not only accelerate the green and low-carbon transformation of energy, but also help form new economic growth points.
In the era of digital economy, energy and computing power are forming a new trend of mutual support and coordinated development. With the rapid development of the digital economy, the computing power industry will consume more energy. To develop and expand the computing power industry, it is necessary to coordinate with clean energy. In places where new energy is abundant, the deployment of corresponding computing infrastructure can not only solve the problem of new energy consumption, but also promote the green development of the computing power industry and further strengthen the background of green development.
Energy is the basic support for economic and social development, and the integrated development of the energy industry and digital technology is an important engine to promote the upgrading of China's energy industry base and the modernization of the industrial chain in the new era. Adhering to the market demand orientation, continuously optimizing the layout of computing resources, and accelerating the deep integration of digital technology and the development of the energy industry, we can do a good job in the digital and intelligent development of energy and provide stronger support for the high-quality development of the economy and society.
