With the growing adoption of renewable energy, distributed energy systems are opening up new opportunities for development. At the recent 3rd International Forum on Distributed Energy and Energy Storage Technologies, industry experts emphasized that smart grids, as the foundational infrastructure for transmission and distribution, will shape the future of power grid evolution. Representatives from the State Grid Corporation of China and Huadian Group confirmed that the power system is actively aligning with the trend of distributed energy growth, accelerating smart grid construction and promoting distributed generation.
Zhang Guobao, a former director of the National Energy Administration and current member of the National Energy Commission’s expert advisory committee, highlighted at the forum that smart grids, much like the Internet, can adapt to fluctuating energy supply conditions. “There has been debate over whether solar and wind energy are controllable. The issues of curtailment in wind, solar, and hydro power stem from the lack of smart and robust grid infrastructure,†he explained.
Zhu Zhongxing, deputy director of the Ministry of Energy and Trade's Foreign Trade Development Bureau, also stressed that the smart grid—combining advanced information technology with physical power networks—is the most effective solution for future energy transmission challenges. He added, “As distributed energy grows rapidly, policies on access management and grid upgrades are continuously evolving, creating significant market opportunities for smart grid technologies and distributed energy equipment.â€
At the government level, the State Council has recently introduced several industrial support measures, including incentives for distributed photovoltaic power generation, electricity price subsidies, and grid infrastructure development. In February, the State Grid Corporation released its "Opinions on Doing a Good Job on Distributed Power Grid Services," explicitly supporting the expansion of distributed energy resources.
Jiang Liping, vice dean of the State Grid Energy Research Institute, told the Shanghai Daily that the policy directions align with national strategies and clearly emphasize support. “The next step is to implement these ideas in practice, all within the framework of national planning. This includes government-established standards for photovoltaic subsidies, metering procedures, and distribution channels.†She noted that while the State Grid will take the lead, other organizations can also contribute, provided their roles are clearly defined and coordinated.
