Industry explanation about lithium batteries

The power industry is doing its best to protect electricity,

"Power Generation Center Era" in history

Electric energy is the most convenient and widely used secondary energy. Coal, oil, natural gas, water, nuclear, solar, wind and biomass energy can all be converted into electric energy. The utilization of electric energy is the main symbol of the second industrial revolution. The convenient utilization of electric energy arouses people's strong dependence and rigid demand for electric energy.

Since the reform and opening up, facing the rapid economic recovery and development of the country, the shortage of electricity is quite serious in all parts of the country. The central government has emphasized that the power industry must take the lead in economic development. During this period, it was the core goal of development to raise funds, build power plants and generate electricity, which highlighted the era of power generation as the center and the objective situation of power management of "heavy generation, light supply and no use". In 1998, the Asian financial crisis, the relative surplus of electricity, marking the glorious era of power generation from prosperity to decline. Although the situation of electricity tension has appeared many times in this century, under the situation of multiple power operation, separation of plant network and introduction of competition, "the East is not bright and the west is bright", the social influence of a single power generation enterprise has declined, and the power generation industry has declined.

Since the turn of the century, development has accelerated and reform has deepened.

Creating a brilliant "grid-centric era"

During the period of power shortage, "safe use of electricity, economical use of electricity and planned use of electricity" exist in the power industry in many areas at the grassroots level, which is often criticized by the society and power users. The power system reform initiated in The Power System Reform Plan (Guofa [2002] No.5) emphasizes the separation of plant and network and competitive access. The reform does not directly affect the interface between power and users, so the role of power industry represented by power grid companies in the user side has not changed. On the other hand, due to the competition of power generation enterprises, both power plant construction and grid connection, and the "fair, just and open" power dispatching expected after the power plant is put into operation, power generation enterprises are "underpowered" and "underpowered" in front of power grid companies. The public power of dispatching, planning and transaction was placed inside the power grid company, thus the "power grid centric era" appeared historically.

During this period, the rapid economic development in the east needed electric power, and the development of thermal power base and hydropower base in the west needed electric power transmission. The country needed long-distance ultra-high voltage transmission network construction more than ever. During this period, the urban and rural economy was active, the secondary and tertiary industries expanded rapidly, and the local government needed the expansion of the distribution network more than ever. During this period, the extension of rural power grids is more necessary than ever to promote universal electricity service, solve the problem of villages without electricity and households without electricity, and win the battle of poverty alleviation. Local governments expect power grid companies to increase investment in local power grids, and central government departments rely on power grid companies to check and correct the "capricious development" and "wild growth" of local governments. Strengthening the social status of power grid.

Profound changes have taken place in the economy and society.

Power industry usher in "User-centered Era"

As socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era, the principal contradiction facing Chinese society has changed from "between the people's ever-growing material and cultural needs and backward social production" to "between unbalanced and inadequate development and the people's ever-growing needs for a better life." To develop energy and electric power in the new era, we must follow a people-centered development philosophy and pursue innovative, coordinated, green, open and shared development to meet the people's needs for a better life.

In terms of the goals and direction of energy and electric power development, the following statements have been made in important state documents and meetings, or in the process of implementing the national strategy in the energy industry: the new energy security strategy of "Four revolutions and one cooperation"; Building a clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient modern energy system; Modernizing energy governance capacity and system; The rice bowl of energy must be in your own hands; Building China into an energy power; Building a new power system with new energy as the main body; Improve the multi-level unified power market system. In particular, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China has set the strategic goals of carbon peak by 2030 and carbon neutral by 2060, and The State Council has made clear deployment. The whole society largely expects the energy and electric power industry to make great efforts to realize the clean and low-carbon transformation in a revolutionary rather than improved way. History has pushed the electric power industry to the center of the stage. To promote the development of energy and electric power in the new era, we must fully, accurately and comprehensively understand the spirit of the CPC Central Committee, and think dialectically and comprehensively.

Since the central Committee of the COMMUNIST Party of China and The State Council issued Several Opinions on Further Deepening the Reform of the Electric Power System (Zhongfa [2015] No.9), the electric power industry has opened the "window", tens of thousands of industrial and commercial users have independently participated in the electric power transaction, and the consciousness of "ownership" of electric power users has been awakened. In the power grid company for the protagonist "marketing" "high-quality service", all kinds of placement of electric company to the user brings the diversification of energy electricity consumption and selective: users can buy ordinary power, also can buy green power, electricity can come from far, also can come from, the service price can negotiate, bargain, user resource calls can even earn money... Due to the characteristics of real-time balance technology of power system, power generation, transmission and use are closely related and integrated into the power industry, and finally realize that power users have value in addition to "burden". The concept of "sources-load interaction" is refreshing the traditional understanding of "sources-load movement". Electricity users were brought into line.

The "user-centric era" has quietly arrived, breaking the fragmentation, beggar-thy-neighbor and rigid management and control modes, loosening the constraints that suppress new productivity development and technological innovation, and promoting the integrated development of multi-energy products and services.

In the first 20 years of reform and opening up to the end of the last century, the problem of electricity supply was solved through various forms, such as raising funds for electricity generation. In the first 20 years of this century, the large-scale construction of ultra-high voltage and ultra-high voltage transmission networks will solve the problems of large-scale allocation of power resources and transmission. So we understand that the next 40 years will return to power user-centered, through the construction of energy Internet with power as the core, to solve the problem of "I will not have me" convenient electricity consumption and low carbon energy use.

User-centric era,

Rationing is accelerating restructuring

Environment, users in the placement of electricity power productivity rapid development will bring the fact that the carbon was at peak, carbon neutral, the target is determined, clean energy low carbon transition to become a consensus, the industrial enterprises planning to speed up the equipment modification, depth of electrification, distributed energy construction "bloom" all around, the whole county to promote the distributed photovoltaic pilot unprecedented enthusiastically; Power distribution under carbon peak and carbon neutralization target is being reconstructed, power distribution under the background of new power system is being reconstructed, power distribution in urban industrial parks is being reconstructed, rural power distribution under rural revitalization strategy is being reconstructed, and power market is supporting power distribution in the form of virtual power plants. The reform of the investment and financing system is supporting the restructuring of power distribution through REITs [infrastructure Investment trusts]...

Distribution of electricity field is quietly changing, distribution of electricity system will accelerate reconstruction, power system in the majority of power users in the participation and leadership, will be earth-shaking revolution.

How does the power system adapt to these developments? It is a clear task of the CPC Central Committee and The State Council to implement the energy system revolution and promote the power grid reform. Several Opinions on Deepening the Reform of the Power System (Zhongfa [2015] No.9) issued by the CPC Central Committee and The State Council, There are clear requirements in the Opinions of the CPC Central Committee and The State Council on Fully, Accurately and comprehensively Implementing the New Development Concept to Achieve Carbon Peak and Carbon Neutral Work (Zhongfa [2021] No. 36) and the spirit of the 2021 Central Economic Work Conference. Does the current system fit the "user-centric era"? Can electricity market construction replace system reform? How to cut into the reform, how to deepen, need transmission and distribution system adjustment? How do we power industry and experts and scholars place themselves in the center of the stage to perform, where will the new power system lead? Chairman MAO said, "The people, and the people alone, are the driving force in the creation of world history." General Secretary Xi Jinping has stressed that "we must have the courage to deepen reform across the board, consciously stimulate the development of productive forces by adjusting the relations of production, and consciously adapt to the development of the economic foundation by improving the superstructure, so that socialism with Chinese characteristics can move forward in a more consistent way."

Highly committed and strong, we have been working with the power industry, including power users, to usher in a better new era of electricity -- the "user-centered era".
