综合施策助力智能微电网破局提速

Core Viewpoint - The development of smart microgrids in China has made significant progress in recent years, driven by supportive policies and practical applications across various sectors, although challenges remain in terms of regulations, business models, and market participation [1][2][3][4]. Policy Developments - The "Action Plan for Accelerating the Construction of a New Power System (2024-2027)" encourages the construction of smart microgrid projects tailored to local conditions [1]. - The National Energy Administration has recognized smart microgrids as a new type of resource aggregation entity, supporting their development in industrial enterprises and parks [1]. - In May 2025, the National Energy Administration included smart microgrids in the pilot directions for the construction of a new power system [1]. Practical Applications - Provinces like Jiangsu, Guangdong, and Shandong have launched numerous smart microgrid pilot projects across various scenarios, including residential, commercial, industrial parks, and islands [2]. - Industrial parks have utilized smart microgrids to achieve local consumption of renewable energy and reduce electricity costs, while islands have improved power supply stability and living conditions through these systems [2]. - The economic viability of smart microgrids is becoming apparent as the costs of renewable energy and storage decrease, leading to commercial applications [2]. Challenges - Existing policies lack clarity on property rights, operational models, and responsibility allocation for smart microgrids [2]. - There is a gap in top-level design, unified interface standards, and technical specifications, affecting equipment compatibility and system interoperability [2]. - A sustainable business model and mature operational model for smart microgrids are currently lacking, with few market participation cases and unclear trading mechanisms [2][4]. Recommendations for Development - It is essential to improve policies and regulations by establishing clear management methods for smart microgrid projects and developing a comprehensive technical standard and specification system [3]. - Innovative business models should be explored to broaden revenue channels for smart microgrid operators, including participation in ancillary service markets and demand response mechanisms [4]. - Establishing special subsidies and diversified financing channels is crucial to reduce investment costs and attract more social capital into smart microgrid projects [4].
