Integrated energy is an ideal energy model for future energy consuming enterprises
When exploring energy solutions for future energy consuming enterprises, the advantages of integrated energy are becoming increasingly prominent. According to the "14th Five Year Plan for Modern Energy System" approved by the State Council on January 29, 2022, it is proposed to promote profound changes in energy production and consumption patterns, implement smart energy demonstration projects based on new models and formats such as multi energy complementary clean energy bases, source network load storage integration projects, comprehensive energy services, intelligent microgrids, and virtual power plants, and promote deep integration between the energy sector and modern information technology.
In terms of local policies, the Shenzhen Development and Reform Commission has released the "Several Measures to Promote the High Quality Development of Green and Low Carbon Industries in Shenzhen (Draft for Comments)", which also mentions accelerating the construction of virtual power plants and encouraging power users and load aggregators to participate in the demand response of virtual power plants; Vigorously developing comprehensive energy services, encouraging energy service providers to accelerate transformation and upgrading, and other related content. It can be seen that comprehensive energy is crucial for the future development of energy consuming enterprises. It can effectively solve some sharp problems of energy consuming enterprises.
1. Improve energy efficiency
Taking a large manufacturing enterprise as an example, in the past, various energy sources operated independently, resulting in significant waste. Through intelligent regulation and energy cascade utilization, integrated energy recovers waste heat for power generation or heating, significantly improving overall energy utilization and reducing energy waste in the production process. The overall energy efficiency has increased by about 20%.
2. Optimize costs
Previously, relying solely on mains electricity was expensive. Now, by building distributed photovoltaic and energy storage facilities, microgrids, and combining them with intelligent management systems, virtual power plants can flexibly allocate energy according to different electricity prices at different times, saving considerable costs over the course of a year.
3. Energy supply guarantee
When encountering extreme weather or power grid failures, the complementary role of multiple energy sources in the integrated energy system becomes prominent. Like a factory with its own gas-fired power generation and energy storage devices, it quickly switches to its own energy source during power outages, ensuring production continuity, increasing stability and reliability, and avoiding huge losses.
4. In line with environmental trends
With increasingly strict environmental requirements, the carbon emissions of enterprises have attracted much attention. Enterprises have increased their utilization of clean energy such as wind and solar power, significantly reducing carbon emissions. This not only meets regulatory requirements but also enhances the company's image.
Overall, integrated energy is undoubtedly the optimal solution for energy consuming enterprises. It is an ideal energy model for enterprises that can improve efficiency, reduce costs, ensure supply, and support environmental protection.
Mingde has rich experience in comprehensive energy solutions and has helped several large high energy consuming manufacturing companies build comprehensive energy solutions. In the future, with the advancement of technology and policy support, Mingde will work with more governments and enterprises to apply and promote comprehensive energy in more enterprises, leading the new era of comprehensive energy utilization.
