虚拟电厂——双碳时代的能源数字化实践

Virtual Power Plant:Energy Digitalization in the Emission Reduction Era

2022年入夏以来,全球多地出现炎热酷暑高温。欧洲、非洲和亚洲的多个国家和地区气温都在破纪录的40℃以上,北极圈温度一度飙升至32.5℃。我国多地也经历了40℃以上的考验。联合国政府间气候变化专门委员会指出,人类活动造成的气候变暖正以2000年以来前所未有的速度发生,已经在影响全球所有地区所发生的许多极端天气与极端气候事件,包括热浪、强降雨、干旱、热带飓风等。

Since the slash-and-burn period,human beings have never stopped exploring and utilizing energy.Thanks to the skyrocketing development of information technology,the Internet provides a new and effective means to refine the use,respond to the demands,and tap the potentials of energy.Against this backdrop,the concept of virtual power plants was born.Equipped with digital technology,we can flexibly adjust customer-side load,coordinate power-generating resources,and solve the conflict,and reach a balance between safe operation of the power system and the demand for energy at a smaller cost,thus realizing the digital transformation of the energy industry.
