Gather wisdom and seek high-quality development of the industry
The rapid and high-quality development of the industry is inseparable from the top-level design at the national level and the foresight of expert think tanks. At the meeting, speakers from ** and institutions made an outlook on the future trend of the industry from different dimensions.
With the two-wheel drive of policy and technology, the interaction between the car network has reached a consensus in the industry and has received widespread attention from the society. As the chairman of the technical committee, Ouyang Minggao, a professor at Tsinghua University and an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, focused on the integration of electric vehicles and energy systems, especially the application of vehicle-network interaction technology in the new power system.
He said that the convergence potential of vehicle-network interaction is huge. In 2040, the total capacity of on-board batteries is expected to exceed 20 billion kilowatt hours, equivalent to the total electricity consumed in China every day, compared to less than 100 million kilowatt hours of centralized energy storage today. The number of electric vehicles is expected to reach 3 by 2050500 million vehicles, conservatively estimated to have a total capacity of 24 billion kilowatts, In the future, vehicle-to-network interaction will play a leading role in short-term energy storage. Liu Yongdong, deputy secretary-general of the China Electricity Council, has the same view.
Although a lot of practice and exploration have been done in vehicle-network interaction, the number of participating operators and the number of responses are less than 1%, and how to achieve large-scale vehicle-network interaction has become a major problem encountered in the industry. Liu Yongdong believes that vehicle-network interaction is an important part of the construction of a new power system. From the technology, standards, application scene, the premise of large-scale application and promotion of vehicle-network interaction has been possessed, and it is necessary to promote the large-scale promotion of vehicle-network interaction from the three aspects of institutionalization, standardization and systematization.
With the advancement of the construction of new power systems, new energy is developing rapidly. Zhang Shengnan, deputy director of the marketing department of the Beijing Electric Power Trading Center, said that it is expected that by the end of 2024, the installed capacity of new energy in the State Grid business area will exceed 1.1 billion kilowatts, and the safe and stable operation of the power system and the consumption of new energy are facing huge challenges. By innovating the power market mechanism, guiding new energy vehicles to charge new energy is an important means to promote the consumption of new energy from the consumption test; It is a powerful measure to promote the coordination of supply and demand, alleviate the pressure of system operation, and reduce the cost of the whole society; It is of great significance to truly realize green travel and help the low-carbon transformation of the transportation sector.
As an important guarantee for new energy vehicles, charging infrastructure has developed rapidly in recent years, providing strong support for the rapid promotion and application of new energy vehicles in China. According to the statistics of the China Charging Alliance, by the end of last year, the total amount of charging infrastructure in China reached 85960,000 units, and 3,567 battery swap stations. Sun Jiami said that as the competent authority of the industry, the National Energy Administration will continue to take measures to accelerate the construction of a high-quality charging infrastructure system.
For the future development trend of the charging and swapping industry, Zou Peng, executive secretary general of the China Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Promotion Alliance and the Charging and Swapping Branch of the China Automobile Industry Association, believes that the integration of the charging and swapping industry and industrial innovation will be further intensified; The proportion of high-voltage platform equipment will be further increased; The standardization of battery swapping will be further accelerated; Orderly charging will speed up the implementation under the guidance of policies.
Thanks to the national forward-looking layout and the collective improvement of enterprises, China's new energy vehicle industry has been in a leading position in the world. Fang Haifeng, chief expert of the China Automotive Center and deputy director of the China Automotive Policy Research Institute, systematically summarized the achievements and challenges of China's new energy vehicle development in his speech on "Thoughts and Suggestions on the High-quality Development of the New Energy Vehicle Industry", and put forward five suggestions for the high-quality development of new energy vehicles in the context of the dual carbon strategic goals: further strengthen the direction, stabilize the foundation, promote integration, attack technology, and promote pilots.
