Recently, the Shantou site of Shanghai Electric Wind Power Group has been awarded the Typical Case of Energy High-quality Development for its Smart Energy Demonstration Project at the Energy High-quality Development Forum 2021 organized by China Energy News Press and China Institute of Energy Economics Research.

The Shantou project, with high penetration of renewable energy, employs the dynamic control technology integrating "grid, generation, load, and storage", and makes the most of the rich wind and solar resources in Shantou to achieve self-organization, self-balancing, and self-optimization of energy, while guaranteeing strict power supply reliability and high-quality power. The project represents a crucial practice of multi-energy complementation and the "integration" of generation, grid, load, and storage, as well as an important demonstration for future low- and zero-carbon-emission industrial parks and even smart cities. It is also deemed a feasible strategy to meeting the targets to have CO2 emissions peak before 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality before 2060 and the control indicators for total energy consumption and energy intensity.

The award, based on an evaluation of candidates’ innovation, representativeness and social benefits, is intended to praise the companies that have made outstanding contributions to energy transformation and upgrading. This year, the award was presented to a total of 20 businesses across the country.
