The International Renewable Energy Agency is willing to strengthen cooperation with all parties to jointly achieve the goal of carbon neutrality. Zhao aiming proposed that central enterprises should actively promote the transformation of energy production mode to clean leading, promote the systematic reconstruction of energy industry with scientific and technological innovation, vigorously cultivate new models and new business forms, promote the mutual promotion of domestic and international double cycles, and help build an open, competitive, efficient and stable international energy market. Lin Shanqing pointed out that facing the 14th five year plan, we should unswervingly adhere to the direction of clean and low-carbon development, continuously optimize the energy structure and build a high proportion of clean energy power system. It is hoped that all parties will expand consensus, move towards each other, strengthen communication, deepen cooperation and accelerate the process of energy transformation in China and the world.
Mao Weiming's keynote speech was entitled "deepening the clean and low-carbon transformation of energy and igniting the development engine of the post epidemic era", combined with the innovative practice of the State Grid Corporation of China to promote the energy production and consumption revolution, and focused on the echelon of "one idea, three stories and three-point initiatives". *** ***
Mao Weiming pointed out that the world is as cool and hot as this, and mankind shares the same destiny. Energy is the "blood" of modern society and the driving engine of economic growth. How to realize the coordinated and sustainable development of energy, economy and environment in the post epidemic era is a common topic faced by the international community. We should establish an idea, that is, the idea of energy transformation and green development. The large-scale development and utilization of fossil energy such as coal and oil has not only effectively promoted the development of productive forces and the progress of social civilization, but also caused serious problems of resource tension, environmental pollution and climate change. The past five years have been the five years with the highest global average temperature since records. It is urgent to achieve the temperature control goal of the Paris Agreement. In order to effectively respond to severe challenges, the international community needs to firmly establish the concept of energy transformation and green development, promote the transformation of the energy system from high carbon to low carbon, from traditional fossil energy to new and renewable energy through the use of various advanced technologies, accelerate the formation of green production and consumption patterns, and help the construction of ecological civilization and sustainable development.
Mao Weiming pointed out that the State Grid Corporation of China actively complied with the trend of integrating the energy revolution and the digital revolution, established the strategic goal of building an international leading energy Internet enterprise with Chinese characteristics, actively engaged in the exploration and practice of energy transformation, and achieved remarkable results. He shared three stories and expressed three views with the delegates. The first is about Qinghai Henan UHV DC project. The project adopts the world's most advanced UHV DC transmission technology, which can continuously transmit the clean power in the west to the central China load center 1587 kilometers away, "lighting the lamp of the Central Plains with the light of Qinghai". This fully shows that the energy Internet is an important carrier of energy transformation. In recent years, the State Grid has completed and put into operation 24 UHV AC and DC transmission projects, with a trans provincial transmission capacity of more than 230 million KW, which provides strong support for the development and utilization of energy resources in Western China and the construction of coastal nuclear power bases, and significantly improves the national energy security capacity. The State Grid has become the power grid with the longest transmission distance and the strongest energy and resource allocation capacity in the world. The second is about Zhangbei flexible DC power grid project. The project applies the world's leading ± 500kV flexible DC transmission technology to realize the coordination and interaction of source network load and storage, which will help the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic Games become the first Olympic event with 100% clean energy power supply in history. This fully shows that the development of new energy is an important measure of energy transformation. In recent years, the State Grid has taken comprehensive measures such as technology upgrading, expanding networking and optimizing dispatching to continuously improve the consumption capacity of new energy grid connection, and has become the largest grid with new energy grid connection installed capacity in the world. By the end of October, the installed capacity of new energy grid connection had exceeded 400 million KW, an increase of 18 times over the end of 2010, including 186 million kw of wind power and 197 million kw of solar power, and the comprehensive utilization rate of new energy had reached 97.3%. The third is about supporting the development of electric vehicle industry. The company has built a "ten vertical, ten horizontal and two ring" expressway fast charging network, covering 171 cities; Build the world's largest intelligent vehicle networking platform to provide travel services for 4.8 million electric vehicles. At the same time, the State Grid has also strengthened the R & D and application of V2G and other new technologies to form China's charging and replacement standard system, which has become one of the world's four standard systems together with the United States, Europe and Japan. This fully shows that innovation is the only way to realize energy transformation. Not long ago, the State Grid Corporation of China held a scientific and technological innovation conference attended by nearly 100000 employees, launched and implemented the "new leap action plan", changed the scientific research management mechanism, established an innovation consortium, vigorously carried out basic research and core technology research, and promoted the upgrading of the power grid to a more intelligent, ubiquitous, friendly and secure energy Internet.
Mao Weiming said that deepening the energy transformation requires the joint efforts of all parties. State Grid Corporation of China sincerely looks forward to further strengthening exchanges and cooperation and achieving common development with all relevant parties in accordance with the principle of mutual benefit and win-win results. Mao Weiming put forward three proposals. First, increase policy support, take energy transformation as a key measure of economic recovery, strengthen capital investment and policy preference, and guide all kinds of capital to invest more in new energy, energy Internet and other fields. Second, strengthen exchanges and cooperation in technology, carry out joint research around technical problems such as large-scale energy storage, grid connected consumption of new energy, coordination and interaction between source network load and storage, and accelerate breakthroughs. Third, accelerate connectivity in energy infrastructure, improve energy security risk resilience in opening-up and cooperation, promote resource sharing and complementary advantages among countries, and promote the construction of a community of common destiny in the energy field.
