There are three major challenges to the energy revolution
With the aim to "connect all" the "Internet +" change decayed for magical than commercial technology power and infinite possibility, we use the energy of the Internet is specific and clear, the purpose of the new concepts and new methods are used to resolve energy main contradictions and problems in the process of revolution.
First, we need to vigorously promote energy efficiency and energy efficiency in the face of huge, wasteful and inefficient energy consumption. Secondly, to adapt the development direction of the power system from centralized to decentralized, one-way to two-way, from stable power to fluctuating power supply, the power system needs to be remade. Thirdly, it is necessary to improve the operation efficiency and operation level of the fluctuation power supply such as wind farm and photovoltaic power station by means of new technological means. In short, the energy Internet USES modern information technology to address the challenges of the energy revolution.
Energy Internet is shaping the next generation of intelligent power system technical support, with the help of the data and network, power can be real-time pricing according to market demand, to return to real commodity attribute, price instead of the frequency of effective signal adjusting balance between supply and demand, from the previous supply according to demand adjustment to demand "dancing with the wind", "" with the light. In the intelligent power system, clean renewable energy power is the dominant power supply, and the end use of industrial and commercial, transportation, civil and other fields can enter the era of electrification. The system provides services to innovative business models such as Opower in the us and e-energy in Germany.
The energy Internet has made good progress in improving the efficiency of renewable energy generation and reducing costs. Through information acquisition, intelligent control and other technologies to build the machine Internet, the wind farm and photovoltaic power station become the same efficient and reliable power source as conventional power plants. Wind farms by installing condition monitoring and fault diagnosis system, combining assets integrity management, from failure after maintenance, preventive maintenance, greatly reduces the downtime maintenance time, improve the performance of secure and stable operation of the plant.
Intelligent control system is through the perception and predict environment, according to the different time, different season, different sectors of the wind conditions, automatic take different control strategies, at the drop of elongating life at the same time, improve the efficiency of power generation. Adaptive control strategy has a self-correcting function, can according to the environmental conditions and fault condition gives the optimal strategy of generating unit, such as when the fault isn't so serious, keep a certain percentage of power generation, or, more quickly to run again, in order to improve the capacity. There are many other technologies that have played a huge role in reality.
The energy revolution is an irresistible trend in the development of human society, and the energy Internet has given it the technology to realize it. In a fair and open Internet environment, the myth of the energy industry's "natural monopoly" will be completely overturned, and the diversified energy business model will gain the right to development of free and equal rights.
Historical experience shows that change driven by technological progress often occurs at a speed and intensity beyond the imagination. The energy revolution, fuelled by the energy Internet, will not be able to predict how fast it will come and how far it will go, even if it has exhausted all our imagination.
