Chapter 527 Smart Energy Management
Boss Wang wanted to invite his father to have a drink with him, but Zhou Buqi declined. The father and son were at different tables, especially since the son was stronger than the father. If dad went, it would only increase the embarrassment.
Zhou Buqi no longer cares about the factory.
Follow Boss Wang and his party and go straight to the restaurant.
A splendid private room was built and decorated like a palace. According to Boss Wang, this private room is specially used to receive foreign leaders.
There were two men and one woman beside Boss Wang, all wearing suits and leather shoes. They looked like senior executives of their company.
Zhou Buqi took Ning Yaxian with him, and was very surprised.
I don’t understand what kind of Hongmen Banquet Boss Wang is hosting.
The main business of ENN Group is in the energy direction. Back then, Boss Wang started his business by carrying gas tanks. Now it is getting bigger and bigger, and it has established an investment company, involving energy, environmental protection, tourism, real estate, etc.
aspects of industry.
The only thing is that there is no business intersection with Ziweixing.
"Xiao Zhou, I need your help this time."
"What's the word?"
Zhou Buqi had this awareness. His help was not in vain and he must return it. Even if this incident had not happened, both parties, as members of the Taishan Society, would still help each other.
Boss Wang said: "In the past few years, the country has been making great efforts to promote industrial upgrading in various industries and achieve technological independence. ENN also wants to do something, and just this year, it established the Energy Research Institute."
Zhou Buqi clapped his hands and said, "That's a good thing. Which direction should you focus on?"
“Coal-based low-carbon energy.”
"oh."
Zhou Buqi nodded, his interest greatly reduced.
This is still traditional energy.
However, this should be through advanced science and technology, innovative applications of traditional energy sources such as coal and natural gas, improving efficiency, and increasing environmental protection.
Sure enough, Boss Wang expressed his guess: "Our traditional enterprises consume extremely high amounts of electricity. However, there will be a lot of losses during the transmission of electric energy. The longer the distance, the shorter the loss. If we can build a
A system that unites all parties in the energy ecology such as consumption, production, transmission, distribution, and storage can greatly improve energy efficiency. Dedicated energy will result in lower costs, and excess energy will be appropriately transferred to reduce losses."
Zhou Buqi was slightly surprised, "Is this going to be the Internet?"
Boss Wang smiled and said: "Yes, I want to make such a website."
Zhou Buqi praised: "What a great idea. If this system is completed, we can have a complete digital solution for energy management and greatly improve social efficiency. This is a good thing with great social value."
Boss Wang said bluntly: "I'm just a big boss, and I really don't know the specifics. This is Liu Huiming, the chief engineer of our group, and Liu Gong, let him tell you."
"Gong Liu, please speak."
“The first thing the Energy Research Institute does is to build an enterprise’s energy steward, provide enterprises with intelligent energy management, and provide complete solutions for multiple industries such as textiles, chemicals, food, medicine, transportation hubs, hospitals, and commercial complexes.
Digital solutions for energy management, through multi-dimensional energy consumption process monitoring, intelligent diagnostic analysis and optimization strategies."
"Good thing."
"Then there are the decision-making consultants who help the government. Any decision made by the government is related to the lives of thousands of people and is of vital importance. Only by mastering enough information can we make the most correct judgment. Our idea is to
The government provides energy governance products to help the government gain insight into the latest energy situation, discover space and progress in energy conservation and emission reduction, and realize the digitalization and intelligent upgrade of energy management methods."
"sharp!"
Zhou Buqi sighed in admiration, and then began to think further.
The first step is to serve the enterprise.
The second step is to serve the government.
Behind both of these, they are related to the people across the country, and these are the greatest manifestations of social value.
It seems that Boss Wang has also clearly seen the essence of the existence of big bosses, which is to provide positive social value, preferably irreplaceable value. Otherwise, it is really impossible to kill pigs and eat meat.
This system is a bit like the business consulting project purchased by Huawei, which is business intelligence.
What is the purpose of business intelligence?
It integrates all information data through a system, and then makes some summaries and trend predictions based on this information to help decision-makers make decisions.
From this point of view, what ENN wants to do is actually intelligent management in the energy field. However, it targets a wider range of customers, not only helping enterprises, but also helping governments.
Gradually, Zhou Buqi felt that he had basically clarified the theoretical framework of Ziweixing.
First, collect data through major platforms, analyze and organize it.
Then, use this data to do something irreplaceable and of significant social value.
Help the people live better and more comfortably, help enterprises make more stable and correct decisions, help the government provide certain theoretical guidance for its policies... and even become the brains of this country.
This process requires the use of collaborative network and business intelligence technologies.
But, how to obtain more, more useful and detailed data?
This requires Ziweixing to play an infinite game!
There are no boundaries and no closed loops.
Look for more possibilities, constantly attack outwards at the boundaries, and let this game continue forever.
However, the new areas of expansion must have certain ecological attributes with the original areas...
This framework is not yet complete.
However, the general prototype has been constructed.
At present, some of ENN's ideas in the field of energy Internet have indeed provided him with some inspiration.
"Mr. Zhou? Mr. Zhou?"
"Ah? I'm listening, Liu Gong, you go on."
"The processing and application of energy is relatively complicated. Mr. Zhou, let me give you a simple example and you will understand. In the process of utilizing energy, we must adhere to the principle of high quality and high utilization and cascade utilization to achieve coordinated utilization of system energy. For example, an energy source System, high-quality energy can be used to generate electricity, high-quality energy can be used for cooling and heating, and low-quality energy can be used to provide domestic hot water, etc."
Zhou Buqi didn't know whether he understood it or not, and kept praising him, "Well, what a good idea!"
Liu Gong sighed, "The efficiency of power generation is usually only about 37%-40%. Except for a small part of the heat energy that is collected, 55% of the heat energy is wasted. If this part of the heat energy can be collected and stored to the maximum extent, even if It cannot reach enterprise-level energy and is sufficient for ordinary daily household use."
Zhou Buqi's eyes lit up, "Battery?"
"ah?"
Chief Engineer Liu Gong was stunned for a moment. Batteries are chemical energy, and the conversion technology involved is much more complicated. The energy source requirements are also of the highest standards. It is simply not feasible to use waste to make batteries.
Zhou Buqi also knew that he was an amateur, so he shook his head and said with a smile: "I went to the United States some time ago, and the concept of new energy is very popular there. There is also a company that says it wants to produce electric vehicles that run on batteries. "
Liu Gong looked dull and couldn't follow the boss Zhou's thinking.
New energy?
Electric car?
Isn't it too ahead of its time?
Americans can do something about it. They have money and are free to show off. They always want to do something to change the world. However, China has only been open for more than 20 years, and there is a lot of waste to be developed. Money is needed everywhere.
How can you have the money to participate in those fields that are too avant-garde? Everyone is happy if you succeed, but what if it fails? Isn't this a huge waste of social resources and national financial resources?
When Boss Wang saw that he didn't seem to be on the road, he coughed lightly and said in a low voice: "Xiao Zhou, we are different from Ziweixing. You are an innovative company and have been committed to exploring new fields. The energy industry... still
It has to be done under the guidance of the state and the government, and our ideas also require applying for state funding."
Zhou Buqi waved his hand and said with a smile: "I was joking. It's okay. Liu Gong, please continue talking."
Liu Gong breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "Currently, there is a cutting-edge energy processing method in the world called distributed energy station. It is not available in China yet. As a representative of private enterprises in the energy industry, ENN needs to get involved and do this field.
The leader.”
"Distributed energy station?"
Zhou Buqi was stunned.
He has never heard of the word, but he is very familiar with the concept of distributed. In the domestic technology field, the hottest place for the distributed concept is Ziweixing.
It has been spread in the industry that Ziweixing spends 100 million every year to build a domestic distributed database with independent intellectual property rights!
To build a distributed database, we must first develop a distributed algorithm.
Yang Zhenkun has already said that we will make breakthroughs in algorithms this year and enter a basically mature stage next year. This capability, let alone in China, will be among the best in the world.
Liu Gongdao: "Distributed energy stations can achieve the high-quality and high-efficiency utilization of energy I just mentioned, cascade utilization, and the comprehensive energy utilization efficiency is expected to reach more than 70%."
"Really?" Zhou Buqi didn't quite understand.
Liu Gong explained again: “That is to say, the energy utilization load center realizes the modern supply method of energy supply nearby, reduces power transmission and transformation lines and equipment, reduces losses in the energy transmission process, and electromagnetic pollution and noise pollution can also be greatly reduced.
Reduced, and the area is about half that of a coal-fired power station..."
Zhou Buqi is ambiguous.
The general idea is clear.
It is this distributed energy station that is more advanced than traditional energy stations!
You can tell by analogy.
Just like making clothes.
The traditional method of making clothes is that a single person makes a piece of clothing from beginning to end and is responsible for all aspects of laying out materials, cutting, sewing, buttonholes, etc., which is inefficient. Because the processes involved are too many and complex, and the workmanship is also complicated.
It won't be too good.
The distributed approach means that multiple people cooperate, one person specializes in setting, one person specializes in cutting, one person specializes in sewing, and one person specializes in buttonhole buttons...
Through the "distributed algorithm", these people are integrated to achieve the simplest network collaboration, greatly improving efficiency.
All of this is inseparable from distributed algorithms.
The rules used in different fields are different, but the thinking logic remains the same. Especially the distributed architecture under large-scale systems has similar approaches and can learn from each other.
Zhou Buqi already understood what Boss Wang meant.
Chapter completed!
