ICEIPS 2022 — 2022 International Conference on Energy Internet and Power Systems

China has taken important and courageous steps to reform its power sector over the last two decades. Under its 9th Five-Year Plan, China has proposed to connect all the power systems together and build joint power systems. During the period from the 10th to the 12th Five-Year Plan, the West-East Electricity Transfer Project was expanded in scope, improving the western provinces’ electricity-generating capacity. During the 13th Five-Year Plan, the term “Energy Internet” first appeared in key documents. The plan aimed to develop a coordinated system based on “source-network-load-storage” to help achieve the optimized regulation of the whole power system. The 14th Five-Year Plan” proposed to transform electric power grids into smart grids, and encouraged diversified energy storage development models based on the different needs of power sources, grids, and loads. Energy Internet is an important technology to support new electrical power systems. It can also be served as an effective approach to improve efficiency for solving the electric dispatch problem. However, its development in China is still very incipient.
