Schneider Electric splits "smart" China's smart grid

In the face of China's upcoming full-scale smart grid construction, Schneider Electric, a global energy efficiency management specialist, has stepped up the pace of deploying smart grids in China.

"China's 'second five' plan (2011-2015), the smart grid will enter the construction phase, expected in 2020 will invest 44 trillion yuan in the smart grid, opportunities for related industries rather Appreciably. ” On September 6th , at the World Expo held by Schneider Electric, Guan Yuru, the business director of Schneider Electric's electrical distribution division, told the outside world. Analysts believe that Schneider Electric has fully prepared for the smart grid market in China.

Competing for a smart grid

From the “ terminator ” of China’s power distribution “ knife gate ” era to today’s energy efficiency management experts, driven by the low-carbon boom, Schneider Electric has long been eyeing the hot smart grid concept in the Chinese market.

State Grid announced the smart grid development plan for the first time on May 21 , 2009 , and decided to focus on six major links such as power generation, transmission, substation, distribution, electricity, and dispatch, and a communication and information platform to fully cover the traditional power system. All fields.

An industry expert who has long paid attention to the development of smart grids estimates that as the “ roadmap ” for the development of smart grids in our country becomes clear day by day, China’s smart grid construction will spawn a huge industrial cake. In many industries involved, only grid technology is involved. The business opportunities may exceed trillions of yuan.

Schneider Electric will use the technical advantages and advanced experience in power distribution and energy efficiency management to become a valuable consulting for smart grid construction in China. Providers and solution providers. "

In fact, as early as two years ago, Schneider Electric has set up a global research department, focusing on the analysis and research work of smart grids, and has set up a chief expert on smart grids, electric vehicles, and new energy in China. Schneider Electric believes that in the future smart grids will need to address the issue of distributed generation access, optimize energy management to ensure efficient use of the grid, and ensure ubiquitous communications and intelligence. At this stage, China's distribution network needs to be strengthened. The core of the smart grid is to establish a reliable, safe, efficient, and green environmental protection distribution network. However, the energy consumption in the domestic power transmission and distribution process is still quite high.

After re-examining its own advantages and existing industrial layout, Schneider Electric has focused on electric energy distribution and power management with its extensive product line and numerous solutions.

It is reported that Schneider Electric's traditional advantages lie in the distribution and use of electricity. Its fields of electrical business and smart grid are closely related to: renewable energy generation, smart distribution networks, smart homes, efficient enterprises, demand response, and power management. In these aspects, Schneider Electric has leading advantages in the world, and has established some pre-experimental projects at home and abroad, which will provide a good reference for the construction of China's smart grid.

Schneider Electric also launched the EcoStruxure energy efficiency management system at the Schneider Electric 2010 Solution Summit recently concluded.

“ The growing problem of energy issues has made the concept of energy efficiency more effective. At present, global industries and buildings consume more than 70% of energy and resources, and more than 50% of the reduction in carbon dioxide emissions is achieved through energy efficiency. ” Schneider Electric China President Zhu Hai stated at the summit that as an important player and promoter in the field of energy conservation, Schneider Electric can help customers achieve the goal of energy conservation by 30% by providing innovative total solutions.
