近日，国家能源局披露了一条引爆全网的消息——"7月份，全社会用电量10226亿千瓦时"。这意味着，我国月度用电量首次突破万亿千瓦时，成为全球单月 用电量最大的国家。要知道，这个数字，相当于东盟国家一整年的用电量。 作为全国经济"领头羊"，广东的电力需求在这个夏天同样"火力全开"，电网负荷多次刷新纪录。一边是飙升的用电需求，一边是不容有失的供电保障，广东 究竟靠什么稳住局面？其中有何"门道"？ 为应对这一挑战，广东加快智能电网建设，推动电力系统升级换代。依托全国首个多智能体协作的省级AI调度员"明月"，广东电网公司能够精准预测负荷， 支撑在线秒级生成电源送出优化方案，并分钟级完成电网方式调整。这一技术可最大程度释放新能源出力，保障电力可靠供应。 广东的用电需求，常年稳居全国前列。尤其到了夏季，空调大规模启动，用电量直线上升。据广东电网测算，在广东，当气温达到30摄氏度以上时，每增加 1摄氏度，对应的负荷就会上升300到500万千瓦。要在这样的"用电洪峰"里守住供电底线，坚实的电力基建是第一道防线。 光有基建还不够，广东的供电稳定，离不开绿色转型和智能调度的加持。如今，新能源在广东电力供应中占据了越来越重要的位置 ...
