Smart energy service will be the future development trend

The so-called energy service refers to the service that meets energy consumers' energy demand. Since the utilization level of terminal energy can usually be measured by the efficiency and efficiency of energy services, the development and evolution trend of energy services is an important factor in determining the mode of energy development. Through comprehensive analysis of future energy services for various types of energy sources, it shows that the continuous development of energy consumption patterns and in-depth changes in intelligent technologies will determine the characteristics and trends of future energy services.

Based on China's economic and social development prospects and energy markets, technologies, users and other factors, the future of China's major energy varieties of services presents the following new features: (1) intelligent electricity service. With the widespread deployment of smart electricity technologies, future electricity service will use smart electricity as the core infrastructure to build a more comprehensive, flexible, interactive and friendly energy comprehensive service platform. (2) diversification of gas services. With the further improvement of the natural gas pipeline network system, gas users in various industries and regions will use natural gas resources more conveniently and flexibly. With the development of technologies such as preparation, storage, transportation, and utilization of natural gas (LNG), liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), shale gas, and natural gas hydrates (flammable ice), the future of gas service systems will increase. The hardware and software security system will achieve further improvement. (3) Financialization of petroleum supply services. With the development of the petroleum financial system, terminal oil users can more actively and flexibly participate in the trading of financial derivatives such as oil and petroleum options to achieve hedging of oil transactions. (4) Clean coal supply services. With the development of energy-saving and emission-reduction, the future of coal supply will shift toward increasing calorific value and reducing pollutant emissions. By increasing the intensity of coal washing sites (increasing the calorific value of coal), optimizing the coal transportation process, and promoting the use of terminal clean coal technologies, the efficiency and cleanliness of terminal coal consumption can be greatly improved. In addition, by advancing electricity generation into coal and reducing the direct combustion of terminal coal, it is also possible to optimize the supply mix of end-use energy and reduce pollutant emissions. (5) Hydrogen supply service network. In the future, hydrogen energy will be combined with the fuel cell to become a complementary terminal energy source, and promote the optimal combination of hydrogen and electricity services. After the depletion of traditional fossil energy sources, a hydrogen energy supply system using non-fossil energy as the main hydrogen source will be established, and a hydrogen energy pipe network will be constructed to meet the hydrogen demand of users.

With the increasingly diversified, intelligent and intensified energy consumption, the issues of energy efficiency, energy use, energy efficiency, and energy value-added services have gradually become the hot spots of energy supply services in the future. Smart energy services will be an important development trend for future energy services. Smart energy services provide high-quality energy services at minimal environmental costs, and are important technological supports and applications that cover the diverse energy needs of terminals. The future energy service network will achieve energy conservation, reduce pollutant emissions, reduce costs, increase productivity, and improve services through intelligent means such as networking, integration and diversified energy supply, all-round energy consumption monitoring, and energy use analysis. , quality, safety and convenience.

With the economic development and social progress in the future, as the most widely used energy type, the position of electric power in the energy industry will continue to be prominent. Especially in the modern energy service system, the concept of “power as the center” will be implemented in all directions. By building a smart energy service system, users can flexibly and conveniently integrate and manage electricity, gas, heat, and hydrogen.

Smart energy services need to be realized through real-time two-way interaction between energy suppliers and users. Intelligent energy-using devices that implement two-way interaction mainly include intelligent interactive terminals, intelligent interactive set-top boxes, smart appliances, smart sockets, smart energy meters, and smart gas meters. , Smart heat meters, etc. The related infrastructure consists mainly of smart communities/buildings, electric vehicle charging/recharging facilities, and hydrogen energy pipe network systems.
