Over 300 experts discuss digitalizing global power grids

A seminar focused on digitalizing global power grids was held in Beijing on Thursday, drawing over 300 experts from around the world.

Co-hosted by the Global Energy Interconnection Development and Cooperation Organization (GEIDCO) and China Energy News, the event convened representatives from more than 100 companies, universities, and research institutions across over 20 countries to discuss cleaner, safer, more efficient, and intelligent power systems.

Experts emphasized that a digital-intelligent resilient power grid is essential to building a new type of power and energy system. They noted that this grid is a critical path toward developing a global energy internet and represents a major trend in the future of energy infrastructure.

A book titled "Digital-Intelligent Resilient Power Grids", which outlines the role of the power grid in a changing energy landscape, examines new challenges, and provides Chinese solutions to promote the safe, clean, efficient and sustainable development of global energy systems, was also released during the event.

GEIDCO is the first international organization in the field of energy that China has initiated. Headquartered in Beijing, it is committed to promoting the development of an initiative to meet global power demand with clean, green alternatives.
