She emphasized that new cryptographic technologies, such as quantum-resistant cryptography, are crucial for ensuring the security of the energy Internet, and the integration of cryptography with new generation information technology will provide strong support for the digital economy.

Wang Xiaoyun’s Report

Academician Liu Yunjie of the Chinese Academy of Engineering delivered a keynote report titled “Thoughts on the Coordinated Development of Energy and Computing Power Internet.” He noted that deterministic network technology can effectively solve critical issues between the energy internet and the computing power internet, which is of significant importance for promoting the coordinated development of both networks. He emphasized that network and computing power technologies are crucial for achieving dual carbon goals and addressing challenges within energy systems. He called for strengthened technological research and development to address the mismatch between computing power development needs and network bandwidth growth, promoting the sustained development of the energy internet.

Liu Yunjie’s Report

During the conference, Gao Feng, Deputy Dean of the Tsinghua University Energy Internet Innovation Research Institute and Deputy Secretary-General of the Alliance, officially released the “2024 Annual Report on the Development of the National Energy Internet,” representing the Department of Electrical Engineering and Applied Electronics (EEA) of Tsinghua University, the Energy Internet Innovation Research Institute of Tsinghua University, the Sichuan Energy Internet Research Institute of Tsinghua University, and the National Energy Internet Industry and Technology Innovation Alliance. This report comprehensively summarizes and organizes the hot policies in the energy internet sector, focuses on trends in the development of the energy internet industry, and consolidates the current status of innovative development within the energy internet. The report notes that in 2023, the number of energy internet enterprises surpassed 300,000, with increasingly prominent characteristics of a networked energy system and cross-sector integration becoming the common choice for energy internet enterprises. This report embodies the consensus of various sectors regarding the energy internet, providing foundational and forward-looking perspectives for government, enterprises, and research institutions and inspiring innovative thinking.

During the conference, Liu Qiang, Deputy Director of the Management Committee of Future Science City and Vice Mayor of Changping District, released the “Construction Plan for the Carbon Monitoring and Management Platform of Future Science City.” According to the plan, the Management Committee of Future Science City will collaborate with EEA, Energy Internet Innovation Research Institute of Tsinghua University, and Sichuan Energy Internet Research Institute of Tsinghua University to jointly create a carbon monitoring and management platform integrated with functions such as monitoring, management, control, regulation, and statistics. This platform will primarily serve the Management Committee of Future Science City, district-level departments, and enterprises located in Future Science City. It will adopt a principle of unified planning and phased construction, creating a dynamic carbon measurement demonstration to support the transition from energy consumption dual control to carbon dual control, facilitating Changping District’s dual carbon goals. The Future Science City Carbon Monitoring and Management Platform is scheduled for official launch in June next year, and upon completion, it will become the country’s first regional-level carbon emission monitoring and management platform based on a “carbon meter-terminal-system” application model. This platform will effectively ensure that the carbon emission measurement processes and results are “measurable, reportable, and verifiable,” achieving dynamic monitoring, regulation, and application analysis of energy consumption and carbon emissions at multiple levels in Future Science City, providing strong data and management support for carbon decision-making.
