CYG's Pioneering Work in Smart Energy Platform and Source Grid Load Storage Integration
Since its establishment in 1986, CYG, a tech-driven company listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange in 2002, has been dedicated to shaping a sustainable and resource-efficient future through our leadership in electrification and automation. With over 8,000 employees, 2.42 billion in total assets, we have the scale and resources to drive innovation in the energy and power sectors. Our CYG Energy and Electric Power Research Institute (CYG EERI), a crucial research team under our umbrella, plays a pivotal role in this journey.
The Foundation of Our Smart Energy Platform Research
CYG EERI has set up the Smart Energy Platform Institute as part of its strategic structure. This institute focuses on developing new energy power cloud platforms, leveraging the power of big data and AI. We understand that in today's complex energy landscape, a unified and intelligent platform is essential for efficient energy management. By integrating various data sources related to energy generation, distribution, and consumption, our smart energy platform aims to provide a comprehensive view of the energy ecosystem. For example, it can collect realtime data on power generation from different sources such as solar, wind, and traditional power plants. This data is then analyzed using advanced algorithms to predict energy production and consumption patterns. With this knowledge, we can better plan for energy distribution, ensuring a stable supply to meet the demands of different sectors, from industrial parks to residential areas.
Source Grid Load Storage: A Holistic Approach to Energy Management
Our Source Grid Load System Institute within CYG EERI is at the forefront of research on source grid load storage energy scheduling and control. We recognize that in a modern energy system, the interaction between power sources, the grid, loads, and energy storage is crucial for stability and efficiency. For instance, during peak demand periods, our research explores how energy storage systems can release stored electricity to supplement the power supply from traditional sources, reducing the strain on the grid. On the other hand, when there is an excess of power generation, such as during a sunny day with high solar output, our system can direct the surplus energy to be stored for later use. We also study how to optimize the operation of different power sources in relation to the grid and load requirements. This might involve coordinating the operation of wind farms and solar power plants to ensure a smooth and stable power injection into the grid, while also considering the variable nature of these renewable sources.
Real-world Applications and Impact
Our research and development efforts in smart energy platforms and source grid load storage integration have translated into practical applications. At the 2024 Key Energy Consuming Units and Key Sectors Energy Saving Training Conference in Jinzhou, we presented our integrated energy system. This system, which is based on our smart energy platform and source grid load storage concepts, addresses the challenges of energy conservation and carbon reduction in industrial parks. By coordinating the energy supply from different sources, optimizing the grid connection, and managing the load demand, we help industrial parks reduce their energy waste and carbon emissions. In Xiong'an New Area, our Smart Zero Carbon Park Solutions, which rely on smart edge devices and AI algorithms integrated with our smart energy platform, demonstrate how source grid load storage integration can be used to achieve smart and low carbon operations. These solutions not only benefit the environment but also bring economic advantages to the users by reducing energy costs in the long run.
Conclusion
By leveraging the expertise of CYG EERI and our various business groups, we aim to create more innovative solutions that can be applied across different industries and regions. Whether it's through developing more advanced energy storage technologies for better source grid load storage coordination or enhancing the functionality of our smart energy platform with new AI driven features, we are dedicated to being at the forefront of the energy transformation. With CYG, our partners and clients can expect to be part of a journey towards a more sustainable, efficient, and intelligent energy future.
