People's Daily Online, Beijing, January 9 (Reporter Li Dong) At present, in the context of the era of "electrification of everything", we should seize the opportunity to explore a new path of energy transformation, which has become a hot topic in green energy, green buildings, green industry, green data centers and other industries. On January 9, at the 2024 ABB Electric Innovation Week with the theme of "Energy Future, Innovation Driven", industry insiders believed that in the context of the acceleration of global electrification, it is necessary to continue to capture growth opportunities and help low-carbon development of cities.
Zhuang Rongliang, vice mayor of Xiamen, said that at present, Xiamen is speeding up the construction of a "4+4+6" modern industrial system, forward-looking layout of new tracks such as a new generation of information technology, new energy, new materials, and high-end equipment manufacturing, accelerating the construction of new infrastructure such as 5G networks and intelligent computing centers, continuously expanding the space for high-quality industrial development, and striving to promote the high-end, intelligent and green development of the industry. "We hope that ABB will continue to expand its R&D and industrial layout, increase the transformation of innovation achievements, actively participate in the construction and digital transformation of Xiamen's high-end equipment manufacturing, and help the city's low-carbon development. ”
How to help China's energy system and energy system transformation and development?According to Li Junfeng, founding director of the National Center for Climate Change Strategy and International Cooperation, the essence of energy transition is the process from resource dependence to technology dependence, and the construction of a new energy system is the key to the transformation and a major investment opportunity.
It is necessary to promote the development of the energy system through the innovation of technology itself and market mechanisms, and establish a clean, intelligent and safe energy system to meet the continuous growth demand for high-quality electricity brought about by economic development and the improvement of people's living standards. Li Junfeng said.
At present, under the background of the "double carbon" goal, the large-scale development of distributed energy, the distribution network is facing the dual challenges of efficient consumption of new energy and reliable load, and the form of the distribution network needs to be upgraded. It is understood that ABB shared a variety of solutions in this innovation week, as well as explorations in energy storage, photovoltaics, UPS batteries, electric ships, rail transit, construction and other fields.
Zhao Yongzhan, President of ABB Electric China, said that the company will continue to devote itself to technological innovation, promote the transformation and implementation of innovative achievements, take electrification, digitalization and automation as the core, use new technologies to help users cope with the challenges brought by energy transition, and empower new energy systems and new power systems.
In addition, four industry forums were held during the Innovation Week, including energy, construction, industry and data center, to develop opportunities for various industries in the context of energy transition.
