SIEMENS building technologies Lawrence Tan: smart grid will become increasingly popular

In the destruction of environment, resources shortage and city urbanization intensified in the background, many countries have put the development of smart grid industry as a solution to environmental problems, a main method of promoting economic development. Smart grid has entered a substantive stage of construction in the world. SIEMENS building technologies (Tianjin) Co., Ltd. building automation general manager Lawrence Tan, April 20th in the "2010 Shanghai international new light & New Energy Lighting Forum", the "new energy and smart city, smart buildings, smart grid" speech.

Lawrence Tan said that although the city accounted for less than 1% of the earth's surface area, but it has a great impact on the changes. At present, about 50% of the world's population live in cities, by 2030, there will be 60% of the world's population growth in the city. The city consumes 75% of the world's energy, uses about 60% of the world's water and is responsible for up to $75% of greenhouse gas emissions. Due to the growing concern about the environment, the lack of natural resources and the intensification of urbanization, the trend of social development has put forward higher requirements for the city. The city's buildings consume 40% of the world's energy, and electricity is the main source of energy. Therefore, it is necessary to develop new technology solutions to meet the challenges of power grid operation.

Smart grid can increase the small distributed generation to replace large power generation equipment, integrated distribution of energy and consumption, energy balance, reduce the scale of large-scale power generation, significantly reduce carbon dioxide emissions. From the economic point of view, if you want to continue to build more than 50 years, then the need to use advanced technology today, so as to make your building intelligence. From the technical point of view, there are a lot of feasible technology, in the right environment, the need for better technical design to adapt to the appropriate technology. Smart grid will become more and more popular in the future. This also makes the future electricity prices become very active.
