EL3040 Actively promoting the high-quality development of distributed new energy such as photovoltaic has become an important part of building a new power system and promoting clean energy transformation under the background of the “dual carbon” goal. The National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration issued the Guiding Opinions on the High-quality Development of the Distribution Network under the New Situation, which proposed the development goal of having about 500 million kilowatts of distributed new energy access capacity by 2025, and clarified the requirements of effectively meeting the development needs of distributed new energy and comprehensively promoting the green and low-carbon transformation of energy. In this context, the cooperative innovation and collaborative development of new energy technologies such as wind power, photovoltaic and energy storage are particularly important, and the majority of enterprises have great potential in jointly building new power systems and promoting distributed new energy applications.

Both parties in this cooperation have rich practice and experience in the field of technological innovation for new power systems. Schneider Electric relies on end-to-end hardware and software solutions and consulting services including EcoStruxure Microgrid Advisor Microgrid Energy Advisor (EMA), a new generation of digital energy efficiency and operation management system platform – Energy Efficiency Control Plus (EMS+), and various distribution products. Effectively cover the requirements of various application scenarios in the whole link of the new power system “source network load and storage”. The company is committed to building a distributed smart energy overall solution with photovoltaic power electronics as the starting point, and has a deep accumulation in the fields of fine operation management of distributed photovoltaic power stations and power station safety solutions based on innovative technologies such as the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence.

EL3040 At the exhibition site, Hong Yanbo, general manager of Strategic alliance and innovation ecology of Schneider Electric, and Li Ningda, founder and CEO of Guangtong Yao, signed a cooperation agreement on behalf of both sides. Through this signing, the two parties will work together for information, transportation infrastructure, industrial and commercial parks, construction and other industries to cooperate in product technology adaptation, program integration, marketing, customer development and other aspects, so as to further enhance the scenario applicability of products and platforms, and enrich system functions. It will provide more help to promote distributed clean energy applications and build new power systems.

In response to this cooperation, Li Ningda, founder and CEO of Guangtong Yao, said: “As a technology enterprise focusing on distributed photovoltaic smart energy solutions, Guangtong Yao attaches great importance to the good opportunities brought by the clean energy transformation and the construction of new power systems for the development of distributed photovoltaic, and constantly seeks to integrate high-quality development resources in this field to achieve innovation and win-win. Schneider Electric not only has a leading position in energy management and digital technology application, but also has excellent market influence, and this cooperation further strengthens our confidence in the new energy market and technological innovation to promote sustainable development of society.”

Hong Yanbo, general manager of Strategic alliance and innovation Ecology of Schneider Electric, said: “In the context of clean energy transformation and ‘dual carbon’ goals, vigorously promoting the high-quality development and industry application of distributed photovoltaic has become an important link in the construction of a new power system, and it is also an important focus of Schneider Electric.” Schneider Electric is willing to actively work with excellent partners like GuangdongTongyao to continuously exert the influence of innovation ecology, and jointly create innovative technical solutions and exemplary practice cases that are more suitable for the needs of the industry, enabling the construction of new power systems.”
