With the theme of "Digital Opens the Future, Service Promotes Development", the 2021 China International Fair for Trade in Services (hereinafter referred to as the "Service Trade Fair") was held in Beijing from September 2 to 7. As a global digital transformation expert in energy management and automation, Schneider Electric participated in the exhibition on September 3 with leading technologies related to digitalization and sustainability, and released carbon neutral service solutions at this year's service trade fair, providing comprehensive solutions from top-level planning to implementation for the Chinese market, accelerating enterprises to become carbon neutral and achieve sustainability. At the same time, Schneider Electric also cooperated with the Higher Education Department of the French Embassy to exhibit the latest achievements of school-enterprise cooperation in cultivating digital high-skilled talents in the education service exhibition hall, presenting Schneider Electric's commitment to leading the ecosystem to promote sustainable development in many ways. Digital technology and low-carbon goals complement each other The "3060" dual carbon target has put forward new requirements for enterprise development, but there are still certain challenges for some enterprises. In order to understand the needs and difficulties of Chinese companies to reduce emissions, the Schneider Electric Business Value Institute recently conducted a survey of more than 110 leading companies in 21 industries. According to the survey results, 90% of enterprises believe that policy and supervision are the primary external concerns, and more than 80% of enterprises believe that technical capabilities in the process of emission reduction are the primary key internal factors, of which digital technology is the most critical. Faced with the challenge of combining digital services, carbon neutrality and green sustainable development, Chen Weiwei, vice president of Schneider Electric and head of the service business in China, replied: "Digital development is an irreversible trend, and carbon neutrality is both the current trend and the goal. "With the deepening of the fourth industrial revolution, a new generation of digital technologies such as big data, artificial intelligence, and blockchain has flourished and gradually matured, and digital transformation has driven the transformation of production methods as a whole, which objectively requires enterprises to take the road of green development." To accelerate the development of the digital economy, the most fundamental thing is to promote the development of the real economy. Mr. Xiong Yi, Senior Vice President of Schneider Electric and Head of Strategy and Development In China, said: "In fact, digital technology and low carbon are not separated, in fact, they are two sides of the same coin. While using digitalization to improve the efficiency of the supply chain, it also reduces the cost of the supply chain through this low-carbon approach. "On the one hand, improving the production process, improving the efficiency of equipment operation, and improving the accuracy of production process management through intelligent collaboration can effectively promote energy conservation and emission reduction of enterprises." On the other hand, accelerating the layout through digital infrastructure such as the industrial Internet can further improve the industrial digital ecology. Giving full play to the new advantages of the digital economy and promoting digital transformation in an all-round way is the proper meaning of achieving high-quality economic development, creating a high-quality life, and achieving high-efficiency governance. It has become a consensus to empower carbon neutrality and carbon reduction goals with rich service experience and full life cycle service capabilities into enterprise development planning, but how to take the road of carbon neutrality, enterprises need implementable systematic methodological guidance. Behind the carbon neutral service solution launched by Schneider Electric this time, the output systematic methodological guidance is the rich experience accumulated by Schneider Electric's long-term service users. Schneider Electric provides a complete set of solutions from top-level planning to implementation, covering energy management areas such as power assets, power quality, digital energy efficiency, and microgrid services. Mr. Xiong Yi said that in the current process of carbon emission reduction, enterprises are facing three major pain points of "weak top-level planning ability, lack of effective technical means, and difficult disclosure of performance results", Schneider Electric takes the top-level strategic design as the forerunner and puts forward the "four-step approach" to help enterprises steadily promote carbon neutrality, based on corporate vision and industry trends, and build an overall strategic plan for sustainable development; second, set emission reduction targets, clarify emission reduction paths, and determine the priorities of various actions; third, promote plan implementation, continuously optimize energy procurement, and improve efficiency Fourth, the performance of the dimensions of environmental offsetting and collaborative supply chain; fourth, with the help of digital technology to continuously track the effect of emission reduction and performance disclosure; the carbon neutrality and service achievements brought by Schneider Electric include five major service solutions such as carbon neutrality strategy and top-level design consulting services, electrical asset health services, electrical system optimization services, energy efficiency improvement services, and integrated energy services, with the whole life cycle service of "from top-level planning to landing execution", empowering enterprises to carbon neutrality and move towards sustainable development. In terms of energy efficiency improvement, Schneider Electric released a new generation of digital energy efficiency management platform EMS+ at the service trade fair site. Mr. Zhu Liang, Product Manager of Schneider Electric, combined 4 cases to make a specific interpretation of EMS+. EmS+ has a flexible modular design, customized development and analysis functions based on practical application scenarios, flexible drag-and-drop operation and efficient data processing, which will assist customers in establishing carbon reduction goals, formulating double carbon planning, and implementing project initiatives, realize the tracking and accounting of carbon efficiency data, and become a "digital window" for enterprises on the road to double carbon. Achieving carbon neutrality requires the industry to jointly promote carbon emissions, which breaks the traditional system boundaries and requires the joint promotion of the whole industry. Moreover, the limited capacity of a single enterprise makes it difficult to independently complete the entire process of emission reduction from top-level planning to implementation, so it is urgent to find a partner with rich sustainable experience and mature technology to work together. This was also fully verified in a survey by the Schneider Electric Institute for Business Value, where about 80% of companies tend to work with external partners to achieve their goals in the process of carbon remediation. In addition, 81% of enterprises would like to receive policy advice, 78% would like to receive advice on their low-carbon target planning, and 67% would like to receive advice on carbon emissions and disclosure. Chen Weiwei said: "Relying on a large number of industry insights, rich sustainable experience, and service capabilities covering specific areas such as green energy management and green intelligent manufacturing, Schneider Electric will help Chinese customers to efficiently and orderly promote carbon reduction and efficiency and carbon neutrality goals." At the end of the meeting, Schneider Electric and Midea Group signed a strategic cooperation agreement on green intelligent manufacturing and carbon-neutral and related service business, and will cooperate on the carbon-neutral and service project of the Wuhu Economic Development Zone Industrial Park Project. With sustainable operations management training, smart zero-carbon consulting services, energy efficiency assessment consulting services and platform data analysis services, Schneider Electric will empower Midea Group to achieve its long-term sustainability goals. Carbon neutrality is a systematic project that advances steadily and hand in hand. Xiong Yi said: "Only when all parties work together can we achieve carbon neutrality. We look forward to leveraging the world's leading sustainable development experience, the technical capabilities represented by digitalization, and the strong ecosystem synergy to empower more customers to explore the path of sustainable development and jointly move towards carbon neutrality." ”
BEIJING, China, 31 August 2021 – The national 14th Five-Year Plan and 2035 Long-Term Goals clearly set forth the requirements for accelerating digital development and building a digital China, emphasizing "digital transformation as a whole to drive changes in production, lifestyle and governance". The establishment of the "double carbon" goal and the launch of online trading in the national carbon market have further accelerated the process of green digital transformation of all walks of life. For the real estate industry, from the "three red lines" at the capital end to the "two concentrations" at the land end to the pressure of low-carbon transformation challenges, how to make full use of digitalization to reshape the value of the industry and drive high-quality sustainable development is a problem that every enterprise faces. In this regard, as a digital transformation expert in the field of energy management, Schneider Electric, which has been deeply involved in China's real estate industry for more than 30 years, has clearly helped customers build the direction of "smart product power" in view of the urgent needs of real estate enterprise transformation and layout digitalization. In the future, Schneider Electric will take smart home as the interaction point and the whole life cycle digital solution based on the advantages of energy management to help housing enterprises achieve green, efficient and sustainable development in an all-round way. According to the McKinsey report, the real estate construction industry is only higher than agriculture in terms of overall asset digitization, business processes, digital use, work digitization and worker digital expenditure, and the level of informatization ranks second from the bottom in all industries. In addition, due to the long chain, many projects and wide distribution of the real estate industry, housing enterprises are facing many challenges on the track of digital transformation. In Schneider Electric's view, digital transformation runs through the entire life cycle of the real estate industry, including three aspects: building, selling and managing. However, due to the large number of housing enterprises in China, and the development process and scale are different, the degree of digital promotion of housing enterprises is currently uneven. Overall, housing enterprises have made more efforts in digital construction and digital marketing, while digital property management is still in the exploratory stage, which has led to some problems. On the one hand, if the promotion of digitalization among various departments within the enterprise is not coordinated, due to the long cycle of digital construction, high internal consumption, and large investment in manpower and capital, it is easy to lead to the final digital application effect is not significant. On the other hand, housing enterprises are actively laying out smart communities. Although according to the data compiled by the research team of Kerui Kechuang, 84% of the top 50 real estate companies are currently involved in the field of smart communities. However, the overall construction of housing enterprises in the smart community is still in the exploratory stage, and there are still many problems to be solved, such as insufficient data volume, insufficient service application rate, lack of precision personality application, operation and maintenance difficulties and other challenges. Among them, in terms of operation and maintenance, more senior people said that the lack of unified standards and planning in smart communities can easily lead to the emergence of information islands. How to ensure the compatibility and scalability of the smart community platform and open up the data within and between the communities is an urgent problem for housing enterprises in the construction of smart communities. On the whole, although the real estate industry is large, it has a low degree of informatization and faces many challenges, and it is urgent to innovate technology and leading complete digital solutions to drive sustainable growth of enterprises. Song Jiong, senior vice president of Schneider Electric and head of the smart home business unit in China, said that Schneider Electric's latest target in the real estate industry is the two major directions of smart home and digital transformation. The proposal of "Smart Product Power" is based on Schneider Electric's rich practical experience in the real estate industry and leading digital professional capabilities, linking the two dimensions of smart home and digital transformation, providing complete digital solutions for housing enterprises, and helping to achieve the digital transformation of the whole life cycle from design, construction, management, maintenance to operation. In terms of intelligence, Schneider Electric's Wiser smart home system can not only provide integrated smart home solutions to help improve the product quality of housing enterprises, but also connect with the smart community management platform through the IoT software platform to realize the interconnection of smart home and smart community and create intelligent management. It is worth mentioning that compared with other smart home solutions in the traditional market, Schneider Electric's smart home solutions can not only integrate its brand's own hardware equipment, but also use the open IoT platform to access certified third-party smart hardware products, effectively solving the pain points of housing enterprises in the construction of smart communities due to different equipment and different standards. At the same time, the key hardware products based on access to the smart home platform have passed the relevant platform connection and network security verification, which ensures the stability and compatibility in the use process to the greatest extent. In terms of digitalization, as a digital transformation expert in the field of global energy management, Schneider Electric can provide real estate companies with digital solutions for the whole life cycle, covering all stages of design, construction, operation, maintenance and so on. For example, in digital housing construction, Schneider Electric can provide digital design and digital construction software to help housing enterprises improve construction efficiency and reduce energy consumption during construction; in the digital operation stage, Schneider Electric also has a series of digital solutions to help operation and maintenance after building, to achieve cost reduction and efficiency. In the future, Schneider Electric will take "smart product power" as the core direction to build an integrated solution for real estate customers from the grid side to the terminal equipment side, from the property to the owner, and work with real estate customers to jointly promote digital transformation and sustainable development!

At this year's two sessions, carbon peaking and carbon neutrality were included in the government work report for the first time. According to the information disclosed in the government work report, an action plan for carbon emissions peaking by 2030 has been formulated. In fact, the realization of the "double carbon" goal is not a simple issue of energy conservation and emission reduction and environmental protection, but also a broad and profound economic and social systemic change. In the context of the "double carbon" goal, low-carbon sustainable development is a compulsory test for all enterprises; and for the real estate industry with high energy consumption and high emissions, there is no doubt that another red line is added. According to statistics, 40% of the world's carbon emissions come from industry, 20% from transportation, 40% from buildings, and about 3% from the IT industry, all of which are the key to achieving the "double carbon" goal globally. China's construction industry ranks first in the world, with a total urban building stock of about 65 billion square meters, and these buildings emit about 2.1 billion tons of carbon dioxide in use, accounting for about 20% of China's total carbon emissions. On the road of accelerating the development of Urbanization in China, the limitations of the existing economic development mode and economic development structure have further aggravated the contradiction between resources and the environment. China's urbanization policy clearly proposes that China should promote a new urbanization process of green, low-carbon and sustainable development, and the real estate market is an important part of it. Ni Jiangbo, a first-level inspector of the Department of Standards and Quotas of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, said: "In the context of carbon neutrality, real estate enterprises are the designers and implementers of green life, green work and green production methods, and should assume the major responsibility of creating a simple and moderate, green and low-carbon way. It is reported that at present, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development is focusing on the goals of early peaking, low peak, pressure tail, short platform, deep neutrality and goals, stepping up the research on the implementation plan for carbon peaking before 2030 in the field of urban and rural construction, including zero-carbon building technical standards, building energy conservation and renewable energy utilization general specifications and other industry carbon emission normative documents, which are expected to be released within the year. At the same time, as a "big household" of carbon emissions, China's real estate enterprises still have a large total amount of carbon emissions, low per capita energy consumption, and poor energy consumption technology. According to the Carbon Emissions Survey Report for Chinese Real Estate Enterprises 2021 released in May this year, the emissions per unit output value of China's real estate construction industry are 1 times higher than the national average. According to industry insiders, most housing companies have paid less attention to carbon emissions in the past. With the formal establishment of China's carbon peak and carbon neutrality timetable, more and more housing enterprises have begun to incorporate the "double carbon" goal into the long-term development strategy of enterprises. Not long ago, Sino-Ocean Group issued a commitment to become a "net zero emission" real estate enterprise by 2050. On this basis, Sino-Ocean Group officially disclosed its environmental medium-term target to reduce carbon emissions/energy intensity by 35% by 2025 (based on 2018). In FY2020, Sino-Ocean Group's total energy consumption intensity decreased by approximately 16.4% compared with the previous year. Under the "double carbon" goal, the development of enterprises will be integrated into more commitments to society and nature, whether it is strategic direction, management and technology, it is facing unprecedented challenges. Pioneering examples of commercial buildings, innovation and application of energy technologies for efficient energy management are the keys to low-carbon development. On the new journey of the "double carbon" goal, green energy management, which integrates clean electrification and digital technologies, is the best tool for low-carbon transformation in all walks of life. At present, in commercial buildings, some enterprises have tried to reduce emissions, and in this process, digital transformation has become a major weapon for emission reduction and energy saving. Located on the central axis of Zhujiang New Town in Guangzhou, Qiaoxin International Finance Center has the AMERICAN LEED Green Building Gold Medal Certification, and has always been known as a model of intelligent building that pays attention to environmental protection and efficiency. At the beginning of the project design, the developer worked with digital transformation expert Schneider Electric to design the solution, which ultimately reduced the energy efficiency cost of 25% compared with the traditional building. Digitalization is more likely to reflect the advantages of system efficiency. In addition to individual projects, there are also companies that have made a larger layout from the group level to promote cross-regional group energy management to maximize efficiency and sustainability. Swire Group deployed and applied a range of innovative, cloud-based integrated energy management solutions from Six projects in Guangzhou, Beijing, Chengdu and Hong Kong, supporting Swire Properties' long-term sustainability goals. According to statistics, Swire Properties is therefore expected to save 10%-20% of energy costs per year, solve up to 80% of problems remotely, monitor and manage the energy performance of buildings, and track and optimize asset performance, thereby promoting cross-regional project operation management. Digital transformation based on energy management will become the core competitiveness of residential development Compared with commercial real estate, residential developers take sales as the end point, while property service companies cannot intervene in the early planning and construction of projects, and residential project developers' awareness of carbon emissions and their value is relatively weak. However, with the national "double carbon" goal proposed, more and more developers will have to start paying attention to attempts in this area. In addition, in recent years, the concept of low-carbon communities and green communities has also attracted more and more attention from developers and even residents. There is no doubt that the "double carbon" strategy will bring various "double carbon" indicators to real estate development, which will invisibly increase the difficulty of real estate development. In the future, developers will no longer be an option to develop green buildings, but a must. Song Jiong, senior vice president of Schneider Electric's smart home business unit, said: "We have many developer partners who have been paying attention to Schneider Electric's hardware products such as switch panels, circuit breakers, and smart homes. But in the industrial or building sector, many companies will pay more attention to how Schneider Electric can truly realize the value of energy management through interconnected digital solutions behind individual products. From the perspective of other industry development and international experience, under the dual carbon target, it is expected that in the future, more and more housing enterprises will integrate digital means into energy management. Moreover, energy management must achieve the combination of indoor and outdoor, covering the home environment and the overall environment of the project, and more importantly, the combination of software and hardware. "On the digital transformation track, some of the top real estate companies have gone faster. In 2016, Vanke launched the "Fertile Land Plan" of informatization and digitalization strategy; in 2017, Yuexiu Real Estate began to lay out the digital transformation with the strategy of "two engines and two wings"; in 2018, Country Garden launched the digital transformation strategy of "Bihe Plan". According to the "Report on the Digital Development of the Real Estate Industry" released by Kerry, in 2020, the digital transformation process of housing enterprises has been significantly accelerated, mainly reflected in the increase in digital investment, and 90% of the Top50 housing enterprises have listed the Ministry of Information as a first-level department. However, on the whole, the digitalization of most housing enterprises is concentrated on informatization and sales. In Schneider Electric's view, the digitalization of energy management of housing enterprises still has a long way to go, especially from development to residence, to operation, to service for overall conception. In terms of design, construction, management, maintenance and operation, housing companies need to take into account both the community and the household ends. At the community level, housing enterprises need to consider how to achieve intelligent power distribution through digital products during the construction period, and how to achieve long-term energy conservation and emission reduction goals through rational use of energy during operation, and effective management and monitoring, especially the use and management of new energy. For example, with the widespread use of electric vehicle charging piles in the community, how to reasonably allocate the charging piles in the community at the beginning of the design, how to learn and rationally allocate through the intelligent system in the process of operation and use, so that the residents can charge quickly and conveniently, have become an urgent problem. At the household level, taking smart home as an example, it should not be limited to the function of product value-added, but should consider more about the linkage and interconnection between residents and smart communities, and cooperate with communities to achieve long-term refined and intelligent management based on scenarios such as safety and security in the house and energy monitoring. Through the active control function of smart home, such as household energy use statistics, etc., to enhance the public's attention to low-carbon environmental protection, and strengthen personal awareness of low-carbon life. "In the era of stock, the digital transformation of the whole life cycle is the breakthrough point in the development of the real estate industry. From a forward-looking strategic perspective, from the early project design, to construction and development, to the later property management operation, accelerating the digitization of the industrial chain is more conducive to improving the efficiency of real estate and achieving efficient sustainable development. Song Jiong, senior vice president of Schneider Electric's smart home business unit, said. The realization of the goal of "double carbon" needs to run through the entire industrial chain and life cycle, from raw materials to production, logistics, construction, maintenance, and the control of each link is indispensable. As an enterprise that can provide a full range of "low-carbon" solutions, Schneider Electric can realize low-carbon management from design, management, monitoring, to low-carbon product adoption, logistics, to late-stage energy saving, energy control, and even carbon trading, helping housing enterprises to achieve low-carbon transformation as soon as possible.

Building a new power system with new energy as the main body has become the biggest goal and task of China's power industry in the next few years, and how to build a new power system has attracted much attention. On August 30th, focusing on the theme of "How Digital Technology Can Empower New Power Systems under the 'Double Carbon' Goal", Ma Li, Deputy Chief Engineer of State Grid Energy Research Institute, and Wang Zhao, Industry Architect of Schneider Electric Grid Industry, visited the "Green Energy Management" conference room of Kirin College to discuss the opportunities and challenges brought by digital transformation to the distribution network. Digital transformation brings major development opportunities for the distribution network Ma Li said that the implementation of the "four revolutions, one cooperation" new energy security strategy, "double carbon" goals, and the promotion of the construction of a new power system all require the transformation of the positioning, function and role of the distribution network, and there will be four significant changes in the distribution network in the future: the distribution network function will show the characteristics of "three modernizations", the productivity and production relationship of the distribution link will undergo profound changes, the whole business chain of the distribution network will be deeply adjusted, and the ecology of the distribution network industry will undergo major changes. In terms of function, the distribution network will present the characteristics of digitalization, marketization and low-carbon "three modernizations", especially in terms of digitalization, with the rapid development of information technology such as big data, cloud computing, Internet of Things, artificial intelligence and blockchain, the traditional distribution network and various digital technologies are deeply integrated, the information monitoring, status perception, multi-party communication and other capabilities of the distribution network are rapidly improved, and the intelligent coordination and control ability of massive decentralized distribution and supply objects is significantly enhanced. In terms of productivity and production relations, the load characteristics of the distribution link, the form of the distribution network, and the operating characteristics will undergo profound changes. In terms of load characteristics, it will change from the traditional rigid and pure consumption type to the flexible, production and consumption type; in terms of the form of the power grid, it will change from a one-way distribution network for power transmission to an active energy Internet covering adjustable load resources such as demand response, distributed generation, microgrid, and energy storage; in terms of operating characteristics, it will change from a one-way transmission and real-time balance mode of control mode to a non-complete real-time balance mode of source network load-storage collaborative interaction, and a large grid and microgrid collaborative control mode. In terms of the whole business chain of the distribution network, with the large-scale development of adjustable load resources such as spot market operation and distributed photovoltaics, the distribution of power flow and line load rate of the distribution network have undergone great changes, with high uncertainty, the complexity of distribution network planning investment, dispatching operation, and customer service will be enhanced, and power grid enterprises must optimize business processes. In terms of industrial ecology, the transformation of the distribution network involves many professions and the technical barriers between various professions are high, enterprises often cultivate a certain field, the distribution network ecosystem will show expansion, ecological characteristics are diversified, and the upstream and downstream market players in the distribution network industry chain need to build a platform ecology, achieve resource integration, promote scientific and technological innovation, strengthen complementary capabilities, and jointly expand the market. In this situation, the distribution network and its digitalization will usher in major development opportunities. Bloomberg New Energy Finance's recently released "Long-term Outlook for the Grid 2021" report notes that the distribution grid will become more important in the coming decades. In 2020, the global investment in the transmission grid is 114 billion US dollars, the investment in the distribution network is 121 billion US dollars, and the investment in the distribution network accounts for 52%. It is expected that in the future, with the large number of distributed generations connected, the distribution network will need a large number of new construction and transformation, and the proportion of investment will increase year by year, and by 2050, more than 60% of the power grid investment will be concentrated in the distribution network. Under the situation that the proportion of distribution network investment is getting higher and higher, the proportion of digital investment in power grids will gradually increase, providing a financial guarantee for the digital transformation of distribution networks. The Report "Power Security under the Energy Transition" released by the International Energy Agency pointed out that the growth rate of digital grid technology investment in 2019 was 14%, reaching 40 billion US dollars, and digital technology investment has accounted for 20% of grid investment. Bloomberg New Energy Finance released the "Grid Long-term Outlook 2021" report, pointing out that global grid digital investment will account for 19% of total annual investment in 2020, and is expected to increase to 41% in 2050. What are the key issues that need to be solved in the digitalization of distribution networks? The digital direction of the distribution network has become a consensus, so how to accelerate the digital construction of the distribution network? What are the key issues that need to be addressed? Ma Li believes that we should focus on five aspects: First, strengthen the digital investment and policy support of the distribution network. At the national level, formulate relatively clear and more stringent digital transformation requirements for distribution networks, incorporate digital transformation into grid planning, and provide support in the approval of transmission and distribution prices。 The second is to improve the network security protection capabilities of the distribution network. Strengthen government-enterprise coordination, from improving national guidance and policy support, improving the network standard system, and improving the flexibility of grid layered protection "three-dimensional policies", to achieve the improvement of the distribution network security essential protection capabilities. The third is to accelerate the market trading mechanism that adapts to the interaction between network sources and loads and reserves. Accelerating the promotion of demand response, distributed generation, energy storage and other adjustable loads to participate in market transactions, is to promote the digital transformation of the distribution network has a breakthrough grip, the two promote each other, can accelerate the promotion of the digital transformation of the distribution network "spiraling" combined with the construction path of China's electricity market, divided into short-term, medium-term and long-term three stages respectively design demand response, distributed generation, energy storage and other adjustable load emerging market entities to participate in the electricity market trading mechanism. The fourth is to strengthen technological innovation in the digital transformation of distribution networks under the new situation. According to the changes in the form of the distribution network and the planning and operation needs of the distribution network under the new situation, study and formulate a list of technological innovations for the digital transformation of the distribution network, and accelerate the realization of innovative breakthroughs in theoretical systems, methodologies, tools and so on. The fifth is to accelerate the cultivation of emerging formats and models in the distribution network. Give full play to the advantages of distribution network assets, data, customers and other resources, focus on serving economic and social development, create incremental economic and social value, accelerate the cultivation and development of emerging businesses, and build a new energy ecology。 Policy recommendations require the active practice of enterprises. Wang Zhao, industry architect of Schneider Electric Power Grid, said that as an expert in digital transformation in the field of global energy management and automation, Schneider Electric is leveraging its rich practical experience at home and abroad through green energy management solutions, widely integrating digital innovative technologies and products such as integrated energy microgrids, digital twins, simulation analysis, and digital environmental protection switchgear to achieve intelligent operation and maintenance, help build highly elastic distribution networks and zero-carbon parks, and contribute to the construction of a new power system with new energy as the main body. Schneider Electric has built software-defined digital intelligent hardware that covers the customer's end-to-end software service needs throughout the life cycle, which is divided into the following three steps: The first step is interconnected intelligent hardware. The Interconnection of All Things begins with the "thing" itself, and it is first necessary to ensure the intelligence and digitization of hardware products. Schneider Electric is committed to creating the world's leading innovative electrical equipment and is constantly iterating on business operation models to match innovative smart hardware products and the changing needs of the Chinese market. The second step is software-defined smart hardware. Schneider Electric advocates the integration of hardware and software, and advocates redefining and shaping hardware products with the help of software, applications and analytical services. The broad and in-depth coverage of the software will drive the transformation of the entire industry and Schneider Electric itself from capital investment (Capex) to operational investment (Opex), and software will become the digital infrastructure for services. The third step is end-to-end lifecycle coverage. Schneider Electric will fully empower customers from design, construction, operation, maintenance and other aspects. Schneider Electric's in-house advanced analytics and consulting services, as well as all of its brand's software brands, will work together to help customers optimize decision-making and improve efficiency. How can digital distribution networks contribute to carbon neutrality? The ultimate purpose of digitalization and intelligence of distribution network is to achieve low-carbon development, and then help various industries and enterprises achieve the goal of "double carbon". According to Wang Zhao, Schneider Electric helped a park achieve carbon neutrality abroad in 2016. The EUREF Campus covers an area of approximately 55,000 square meters and consists of 25 buildings with a floor area of about 165,000 square meters, including more than 150 companies and research institutions, and about 3,500 employees. In terms of project implementation, Schneider Electric has created a 100% renewable energy and green electricity purchase agreement (PPA) around the supply side, fully implemented electrification and improved building energy efficiency around the demand side, and realized adjustable load resource development around digitalization, which in turn helped the entire project achieve carbon neutrality, far earlier than the EUROPEAN Union proposed to achieve carbon neutrality in 2050. This zero-carbon solution is an advanced plan that takes into account both social and economic benefits, including the digital solution of the EcoStruxure architecture - the overall photovoltaic, energy storage and charging scheme based on the microgrid EMA, the cloud edge end of the energy management and the overall smart park combined with the overall digital solution, covering building control products, frequency converters, sulfur hexafluoride-free medium-voltage switchgear, EBO building operation system, PME power management system and so on. Not only that, Schneider Electric has applied this model to the Chinese market, and first applied it in its Beijing factory, Schneider (Beijing) Medium and Low Voltage Electrical Appliance Co., Ltd. Recently, after the China Classification Society Quality Certification Company verified its greenhouse gas emissions in 2020, the factory was awarded a "carbon neutrality" certificate. From the perspective of practical results, digitalization and electrification can not only help enterprises achieve the "double carbon" goal, but also significantly reduce energy costs and enhance the competitiveness of enterprises. According to data provided by Schneider Electric, through the digitalization of the company's green energy management solutions, customers in different industries can achieve up to 85% reduction in energy consumption, about 30% cost savings, drive productivity gains by using savings of up to 60% and 75% of capital and operating expenses, in addition to improving equipment availability and site safety by up to 50% and 25%, and effectively reduce their carbon footprint by up to 50%. Therefore, digitalization will not only deeply change the distribution network, but also help the construction of new power systems to achieve the goal of "double carbon".
