Shanghai will take the lead in building three major bases for smart grids before 2012

In the office, you can turn on your home air conditioning in advance to create a cool world. You can forget to close the doors and windows, and you can remotely check the safety of your home through your mobile phone. The smart meters measure the power consumption of various home appliances “ intelligence ”... This was only used in science fiction movies. The appearance of life is actually not far away from the ordinary people. In the "perception Shanghai - smart grid application and promotion inside and outside the Expo" event yesterday afternoon, the reporter learned that, in Pudong, a smart home demonstration area, hundreds of families have been the first to enjoy the convenience brought from the Smart Grid , safety, energy saving life.

According to the Municipal Economic and Information Technology Commission, Shanghai has taken the lead in launching the "Shanghai Action Plan for Promoting the Development of Smart Grid Industry". By 2012 , the city will take the lead in building three major bases for the smart grid, namely the smart grid function demonstration application base. , key technology R&D bases for smart grids and core equipment industry bases for smart grids.

" Smart " grid helps save energy

On the model wall of a smart home, a PDA-sized terminal can " control " all the electrical appliances in the room. The user can turn on and off any appliance simply by touching the screen. Users can also use the TVs and IP phones in the rooms to control the appliances through text and language prompts. Remote home watching is no longer a dream. When citizens go out, they can start the security system of the terminal. Once an uninvited guest arrives, an alarm will be issued in the room. At the same time, the alarm will “ remind ” the terminal and send a text message to “ inform ” the citizens and the community security.

The most “ smart ” place for smart homes based on smart grids is not only remote control. The system can also be combined with home electricity conditions and electricity prices at different times, and it can be reasonably allocated to realize “ cutting peaks and filling valleys ” to save energy. Residents can check the electricity consumption of each piece of electrical equipment at each time of the day from the screen of the terminal so as to timely understand the overall power consumption of the house and control the waste behavior.

Zhang Zheng, director of the Smart Grid Research and Promotion Office of Shanghai Electric Power Company, said that smart home is actually a means of Internet of Things (IoT) coupled with the concept of low carbon and green to realize real-time communication between the power grid and users.

Green by specialty "roast" experience

In the near future, Shencheng suffered a hot summer, and the Expo version of the smart grid has played its green expertise and has withstood the “ baking ” experience. According to reports, although the city’s electricity load has hit records in recent days, the Expo site’s maximum electricity load is only 112,000 kilowatts, which is about twice lower than estimated. This is due to the Sodium-sulphur smart grid in the Expo site. The application of various energy storage technologies, such as liquid flow, plays a buffer role in urban power grids and improves the efficiency of energy use. According to reports, the Shanghai World Expo Park is the first smart grid comprehensive demonstration project in mainland China. The project includes energy storage systems, smart substations, distribution automation, fault repair management systems, smart power buildings and smart homes, and electric vehicles charging and discharging. With the network and other 9 sub-projects.

The relevant person in charge of the Municipal Economic and Information Committee stated that compared with the traditional grid, the smart grid is cleaner, more efficient, safer, and more economical. It is an important foundation for building a smart city in the future. In the future, Shanghai will focus on the development of new energy access and control, and power electronics. Applications and core components, power storage, intelligent power transmission and transformation equipment, intelligent distribution network and user terminals, high temperature superconducting six key areas. By 2012 , the city will strive to cultivate 3 to 5 leading companies in the smart grid industry and form a competitive smart grid industry cluster, bringing the industry size to around RMB 50 billion.
