Smart Energy
Smart Energy is an energy management concept proposed by international organizations such as IBM in 2009, aimed at achieving efficient energy utilization and sustainable development through technological innovation and institutional change. Its core is to integrate renewable energy (such as solar energy, geothermal energy, biomass energy, etc.) through digital and intelligent means, and build a safe, clean, and economical energy system
The following are the key developments and trends in China's smart energy sector:
1、 Latest Industry Trends
Policies and Meetings
The 2025 China Smart Energy Conference is held in Chengdu, focusing on "technological innovation and smart empowerment" and exploring cutting-edge directions such as microgrids and electricity markets
China's Guiding Opinions on Promoting the Development of "Internet plus" Smart Energy positions smart energy as an industrialized form of energy Internet
2、 Technology Application and System Architecture
Smart Energy System
Taking the balance of cold and heat as the core, integrating multiple energy sources such as geothermal energy and solar energy, and achieving full chain management through technologies such as AI load forecasting and blockchain trading platforms
Typical applications include virtual power plants, intelligent microgrids, etc., which can reduce energy consumption in buildings and industrial sectors by more than 50%
Key challenges
The current energy transformation needs to address the contradiction between the growth of new energy generation and consumption capacity. Smart energy optimizes energy distribution through digital operation
3、 Future Trends
Microgrid and Electricity Market
Intelligent planning and demand side optimization of microgrids will become important means of participating in the electricity spot market
Integration of electric vehicles
The deep coupling between charging network and power grid is an important development direction for smart energy
Smart energy is driving the global energy system towards green and efficient transformation, and its technological innovation and policy support will provide key support for the "dual carbon" goal
