WuJianDong: China needs to accelerate development of intelligent energy under COP21, expert

In our opinion, in 2020, intelligent energy internet can achieve main system operation. In 2030, it can provide universal service. By that time, the world's major economies’ coal consumption can be reduced by 4 billion tons compared with 2014, roughly equivalent to 50 percent of global coal consumption in 2014. In long term, we will strive to achieve the strategic goal of controlling the global temperature increase with 2 degrees by 2050. This goal will complete ahead of 30-50 years than that of the Paris Climate Agreement, which is a bold plan. The core is that we put forward the intelligent energy building theory. Energy investment is also the exchange of all the relevant rights with the users. The value of the soft network in intelligent energy investment is greater than the value of the physical infrastructure, and the service network can be higher than the growth of the physical platform. Intelligent energy investment has a multiplier incremental principle. Investment using the intelligent energy construction can yield twice the result with half the effort.

Q: How do you see the history and implementation of Intelligent Energy Internet?

Wu: There are three historical goals of the intellectual energy： 1) In 2030, the public can enjoy the intelligent energy; 2) Promote enterprises and families to achieve double energy efficiency, 3) Strive to make zero carbon and low carbon energy become the world's main energy production and consumption patterns. To improve customers’ intelligent action capability and rules in energy market is the core of energy transition.

Q: What effects will Intelligent Energy Internet construction have on the world?

Wu: According to our estimation, at present, we need to integrate more than 7 billion of the global population, more than 200 billion square meters of housing, over 60 billion all kinds of energy network interface, 1 billion vehicles, vessels and machines, more than 3 billion sets of industrial facilities, more than 100 billion energy facilities and transform them to intelligent and thinking energy IOT, but the current global information, intelligent talents and capital investment is not enough to meet this strong re-construction needs. It is the largest scale transition of next generation global economy structure.

We need to realize the history of energy industry globalization and liberalization of international economy and establish innovative energy enclave and energy corridor. By 2030, global energy needs 90 trillion US dollars of investment and the world needs to add US$50 trillion energy debt. A new worldwide energy economic competition is about to start. New energy revolution and environmental protection is not a burden, but an opportunity.

The development of smart energy, can effectively form the social wisdom、ry inclusiveness and development sustainability of the civilized trend, so that the 7 billion global population is not to be controlled but can actively use the energy networks. Enditem

Bacground: Professor Wu Jiandong, is the founder of “Intelligent Energy” doctrine and “Energy IOT” doctrine. He proposed that intelligent energy system is multi-spiral structure which consists of user right, intelligence right, financial right, processing right, resource right, tax right, disge right, facility right, and it is called ‘Wu Jiandong energy spiral’. As project leader, he presided over the implementation scheme of Chinese smart energy network projects of National Twelfth Five-Year Plan about energy major planing in 2009. In 2010, Professor Wu jiandong was called as " one of the several thought leaders around the world " in the Global Forum on International Smart Grid, held by the US Department of Energy and Gridwise Alliance. Recently, he firstly proposed the ‘theory of energy IOT’ in the world, and he accomplished the sophisticated report on ‘Intelligent Energy Internet–Action to determine the success of the world's low carbon transition’.
