The digital transformation of energy and power is timely

　　"In recent years, the digital economy is becoming a key force in restructuring the global factor resources, reshaping the global economic structure, and changing the global competition pattern. A new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial reform has been further developed, which has led to the active innovation of digital technologies such as the Internet, big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and blockchain. Digitization has penetrated all fields, industries, and the whole process. The development of the digital economy has become an irresistible trend of the times." Wang Siqiang, member of the Party Committee of the China Electricity Council and president of the China Power Construction Enterprises Association, said at the forum.

　　Promoting the deep integration of digital technology and the real economy, empowering the digital and intelligent transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, is a strategic choice to seize the new opportunities of the new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation. The National Energy Administration recently issued the "Several Opinions on Accelerating the Digital and Intelligent Development of Energy" (hereinafter referred to as the "Opinions"), which proposes that energy is the fundamental support for economic and social development, and the integrated development of the energy industry and digital technology is an important engine for promoting the upgrading of China's energy industry foundation and modernization of the industrial chain in the new era. It is an effective measure to implement the "Four Revolutions, One Cooperation" new energy security strategy and build a new energy system, which is of great significance for enhancing the core competitiveness of the energy industry and promoting high-quality energy development.

　　The world's energy is undergoing a transition towards clean and low-carbon development, with the rapid development of distributed energy and the increasing economic viability of clean energy. The development of digitalization and intelligence is accelerating, and the focus of energy consumption is shifting towards the Asia Pacific region. "Hua Zhigang, Deputy Director of the Digital Center of China Power Investment Corporation, pointed out that China's energy and power development has ushered in a deep integration of digital technology and energy technology. The power generation industry has shown development trends such as promoting flexible peak shaving of thermal power, promoting grid integration and consumption of new energy, optimizing the development and operation of new energy, improving power generation efficiency and safety reliability, assisting in the construction of smart energy systems, and empowering innovation in emerging technologies.
