Beijing, China, May 19, 2020 - Since 2020, the concept of "new infrastructure" has been continuously discussed, and on April 20, the National Development and Reform Commission for the first time clarified the concept and scope of new infrastructure, mainly including information infrastructure represented by 5G, Internet of Things, AI, cloud computing, and data centers. There are three major categories of convergence infrastructure represented by intelligent transportation infrastructure, smart energy infrastructure, and innovation infrastructure. Guided by new development concepts, driven by technological innovation, and based on information networks, the infrastructure system that provides services such as digital transformation, intelligent upgrading and integrated innovation for high-quality development needs has become the path and goal of "new infrastructure" development.
With the gradual introduction of the "new infrastructure" policy in various places, the future development trend of major industries is gradually clear, and as the most widely used form of energy - electricity, the support role of the high-quality development of "new infrastructure" is self-evident, but the problem of excessive energy consumption and inefficient use is likely to restrict the development if it is not paid attention to. In this context, only with the help of innovative digital technology, the formation of a more "advanced" intelligent energy efficiency management, to create more safe, reliable, green and efficient value, in order to comply with the "new" of the "new infrastructure".
Take the potential in accordance with the time, digital distribution is right
From smart cities to unmanned factories, from modern agriculture to vehicle networking and autonomous driving, from secure basic data centers to intelligent power scheduling and management... The application scenarios of the integration of various technologies of "new infrastructure" are everywhere, which is stimulating more economic vitality and releasing more consumer demand, and is a "new engine" for future economic growth.
"New infrastructure" is both infrastructure and emerging industries. On the one hand, the digital transformation of traditional infrastructure by "new infrastructure" can better optimize the industrial structure and make up for the shortcomings of public infrastructure construction; On the other hand, the "new infrastructure" itself is an effective carrier of intelligence, automation, and digitalization, and can further incubate more innovations and applications, and promote the development of industrial digitalization, integration, and high-end.
The "new infrastructure" is centered on informatization and electrification, and electrical equipment covers almost all of its key industries. Whether it is information, integration infrastructure, or innovation infrastructure, electricity is the core form of energy application, and the distribution system that connects both energy and power production and energy and power consumption will undoubtedly become an important foundation to support the transformation of traditional industries and the development of emerging industries.
In this regard, Schneider Electric senior Vice President, energy efficiency management low-voltage business head in China Li Rui said: "At a time when the energy world is becoming more digital, low-carbon, decentralized and electrified, based on the deep integration of new generation information and communication technologies with new power distribution needs, and more high-level digital intelligent power distribution solutions and services will become an excellent means to achieve the digital transformation and upgrading of traditional infrastructure and the rapid construction, reliable operation and intelligent management of" new infrastructure ". "

To this end, Schneider Electric is actively accelerating the comprehensive innovation of the Power distribution industry, based on the new EcoStruxure Power intelligent power distribution architecture, from the hardware, software and data, more interconnected products, more professional edge control software and full life cycle digital consulting services. To achieve comprehensive coverage of power equipment connectivity, system architecture, and application scenarios, providing customers with safe, reliable, efficient, and sustainable digital power distribution solutions.
The key is wisdom and efficiency
In 2019, the size of the global digital economy reached $15.6 trillion, and the digital economy grew 3.5 times faster than the global economy. Schneider Electric believes that by strengthening the collection, analysis and processing of data, making "intelligence" from "data" will be the key to more secure, reliable, efficient, connected and sustainable electricity. The basis for the interconnection of everything and the value of "number" is the electrical equipment that is closely connected with electricity, so its electrical safety, operation and maintenance efficiency, and digital level play a crucial role in high reliable and high-quality power supply.
"New infrastructure" plays an important supporting role for future economic development, and for the short construction cycle and the high degree of digital management requirements, Li Rui said: "Its performance and reliability requirements for low and medium voltage electrical is bound to become increasingly strict, the future development trend of low and medium voltage electrical is mainly high performance, high reliability, information, miniaturization, digital modeling, modularization, combination, standardization, green environmental protection."
To this end, Schneider Electric will focus on key areas with higher correlation with electrical equipment, including intercity rail transit, data center, 5G base station, new energy vehicle charging pile, etc., according to the special positioning of different industries in the "new infrastructure" and the positioning strategy of components and complete sets of equipment. Continue to develop products and enhance industry service capabilities.
According to incomplete statistics, 25 provinces and municipalities in China have announced 22,000 "new infrastructure" investment projects in the future. The consumption of energy and electricity from these new infrastructures, which are all distributed with electrical equipment, will be huge. Taking data centers as an example, their power consumption growth rate has exceeded 12% for eight consecutive years, and it is expected that by 2022, China's data center business market will grow by 28.8% year-on-year, and its power consumption will show explosive growth.
How to improve the initiative and efficiency of operation and maintenance, ensure the safe and stable power supply of different types of power facilities and places, and further improve energy efficiency is also an urgent problem for the industry. Leary talks about: "Around the new technology and application of comprehensive energy saving will become the trend of The Times, through digital technology, communication technology, cloud computing technology, intelligent operation technology, intelligent measurement technology, etc., open the barriers between the equipment layer, control layer and decision-making layer, develop data-driven distribution network system construction planning, operation control, operation and maintenance management, energy management and control, optimize the allocation of energy resources," To maximize energy efficiency potential."
