Recent advancements in local energy internet integration technology have been spotlighted in a new study published in ‘Dianxin kexue,’ or ‘Journal of Communication Science.’ The research, led by Shuquan Li, delves into the transformative potential of local energy systems, particularly how they can optimize energy use in communities by effectively integrating various energy sources.
The study presents a comprehensive approach to integrating energy systems at the local level, exploring three critical areas: planning and terminal access, equipment and system integration, and the interaction between different energy systems. This holistic view is pivotal as it not only enhances the efficiency of energy distribution but also promotes sustainability by maximizing the use of clean energy sources. “The local energy internet can convert electrical energy and other clean energy into the cold, heat, and electricity required by the region,” Li explains, highlighting the versatility and adaptability of these systems.
One of the significant practical applications of this research was demonstrated at the State Grid Customer Service Center Northern Park, where the integration of energy flow and data flow has been successfully implemented. This integration allows for the complementary use of various energy sources, fostering interconnection and sharing that can lead to reduced costs and improved service reliability.
The implications of this research are profound for the energy sector. As businesses and communities strive for greater energy independence and sustainability, the local energy internet model offers a pathway to decentralization. By harnessing local resources and integrating them into a cohesive system, organizations can enhance their resilience against energy price volatility and supply disruptions.
Shuquan Li’s work underscores a pivotal shift in how we think about energy consumption and distribution, moving towards a more interconnected and efficient model. As energy markets evolve, this integration technology could become a cornerstone for future energy solutions, driving commercial opportunities and innovation across the sector.
