In recent years, the rapid development of the Energy Internet haseffectively supported the implementation of the national “carbon peaking” and “carbon neutrality” strategies, and has become an important part of the energy revolution. On October 13, 2021, at the National Energy Internet Conference held in Zibo, Shandong, Professor Kang Chongqing, Dean of the Department of Electrical Engineering and Applied Electronicsof Tsinghua University,Presidentof the Energy Internet Innovation Research Institute, andPresidentof Tsinghua Sichuan Energy Internet Energy Internetofficially released the“2021Annual Report on the Development ofNational Energy Internet”.

Professor Kang Chongqing released the

“2021Annual Report on the Development ofNational Energy Internet”

Based on literature retrieval , data crawling, access to authoritative documents, etc., the “Report”described theprogress and development of the Energy Internet in the past yearat the physical foundation layer, technical means layer, and realization value layer. The main contents include: Energy Internetdevelopmentindexsystem,currentdevelopment of Energy Internet in China, and Energy Internet from a global perspective.

Main content of theAnnualReport

In the indicator system for the development of the Energy Internet, the “Report” presents the development trend of the Energy Internet in an all-round and truthful mannerinsevenparts:policy, industry, technology, innovation, construction, public ecology and carbon neutrality. The “Report” also selected tenmilestone events ofthe ChineseEnergy Internet in the past year, which providedastrong support for the future development of the Energy Internet.

The “Report” sorts out the supporting role of the Energy Internet for the “dual carbon”, and clarifies that the Energy Internet will achieve the goal of carbon peaking and carbon neutralityin four dimensions: energy production, transmission and consumption, perception interconnection, and platform management.

At the releasing conference, Professor Kang Chongqing mentioned that after the new power system was proposed, Tsinghua University,entrusted by the High-tech Department of the Ministry of Science and Technology and organized bythe Industrial Development Promotion Center of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, took the lead in uniting more than 50organizations to undertake specialsubject research andthink tankresearch,andhasformulatedthe first draft of the think tank research report “New Power System Technology Research Report” (including policy recommendations) by now toactively participates in the formulation and development of new policies forthe Chineseenergy industry.

The future of Energy Internet is great with the continuous construction and development. The “Annual Report on the Development of National Energy Internet” has been released for 3 consecutive years, forming a brand that comprehensively sorts out and objectively reflects the development and changes ofthe Chinese Energy Internet industry, which can provide a basic and forward-looking reference for the healthy development of theEnergyIndustry and government decision-making, contributingChinese wisdom and transmitting Chinese voiceto constituting amore fair andmorereasonable global energy governance system andfully implementingcarbon reduction.
