GoodWe: Green Electricity is Here, Advancing Integrated Development of “Source-Grid-Load-Storage-Intelligence”
On March 20, the “10th China Energy Development and Innovation Conference” was grandly held in Beijing. This event was jointly organized by the China Industrial Development Promotion Association, the Hydrogen Energy Branch of the China Industrial Development Promotion Association, and the Wind and Solar Storage Integration Development Branch of the same association. The conference focused on the theme of “Innovation Drives Energy Transition, Collaboratively Building a New System,” attracting representatives from government agencies, research institutions, energy enterprises, and international organizations.
The conference included a main forum and several specialized sub-forums, where in-depth discussions were held on topics such as energy policy, technological innovation, and industrial collaboration, all aimed at promoting high-quality energy development under the dual carbon goals.
During the sub-forum titled “Multi-Energy Collaboration · Technological Innovation — Accelerating the Construction of a New Energy System,” experts engaged in dialogue regarding the challenges of achieving carbon peaking during the 14th Five-Year Plan period. Wang Yingge, Vice President of GoodWe Technology Co., Ltd., emphasized that the future energy system’s core lies in the integrated development of “Source-Grid-Load-Storage-Intelligence.” This approach utilizes smart energy platforms, virtual power plants, and digital means of electricity trading to achieve comprehensive synergy in energy production, transmission, consumption, and storage. By enhancing the utilization of renewable energy and optimizing energy system efficiency, this model is crucial for realizing the carbon peaking targets set for the 14th Five-Year Plan.
GoodWe’s exploration of the integrated “Source-Grid-Load-Storage-Intelligence” strategy is founded on insights into the global energy revolution and development trends. With over a decade of expertise in power electronics, grid technology, and energy storage, GoodWe is developing an integrated strategic approach centered around “Source-Grid-Load-Storage-Intelligence.” This involves proactive investment and layout in hardware and software products such as inverters, photovoltaic building materials, energy storage systems, charging piles, heat pumps, and the smart energy WE platform to create an energy ecosystem where “green electricity is produced, consumed, and traded nearby.”
Currently, GoodWe has implemented a number of demonstration projects that integrate full-scenario solar storage, charging, heating solutions with smart energy management in various locations.
The scaling of distributed energy is driving the mainstream adoption of “local consumption.” As the 14th Five-Year Plan unfolds, the future energy system will increasingly rely on renewable energy facilities, such as rooftop photovoltaics, community energy storage, and microgrids within industrial parks, forming a supply network where “electricity comes from nearby.” Additionally, market-oriented electricity trading will make green electricity transactions the value hub of the “Source-Grid-Load-Storage-Intelligence” system. With the improvement of mechanisms like real-time electricity markets and green certificate trading, users will be able to directly participate in the market through smart energy platforms.
In this process, digital technology plays a central role, as smart energy platforms leverage AI and other digital technologies to create an intelligent system that facilitates the coordinated operation of “Source-Grid-Load-Storage-Intelligence,” thereby enhancing the economic development of green electricity. The development of the integrated “Source-Grid-Load-Storage-Intelligence” model is not only a practical response to the carbon peaking goals of the 14th Five-Year Plan but also reflects the trend of energy companies transitioning from being mere equipment suppliers to energy service providers. With technological advancements, this model is expected to accelerate the construction of new power systems and propel the energy revolution from technical breakthroughs to ecological reconstruction in the future.
