THE 2023 International Digital Energy Expo has attracted over 400 industry-leading enterprises to gather in Shenzhen, offering visitors a window into how new technologies and products are bringing new experiences to energy consumption, and creating new models and business formats towards green energy development, Shenzhen Special Zone Daily reported.

The expo, which opened Thursday, wrapped up at the Shenzhen Convention and Exhibition Center in Futian District yesterday. The number of professional visitors on-site exceeded 68,000.

In the era of digital energy, there is a growing trend towards green, independent and intelligent energy consumption accessible to residents. Shenzhen Hello Tech Energy Co. Ltd., a leading brand in portable power energy storage, showcased its pioneering household power solution, Geneverse, at the expo.

According to the company, Geneverse is a one-stop green power station designed for global household users, providing intelligent photovoltaic energy storage systems for rooftops, balconies, courtyards and other household scenarios through high-performance photovoltaic panels, modular energy storage systems and intelligent cloud platforms.

The solution can be widely used in independent houses and high-rise apartments, catering to the electricity needs of households in various living environments.

“At present, the global penetration rate of household energy storage may be less than 1%, and billions of households in the future will require a simple, affordable, safe and reliable household green energy system, not just limited to household energy storage,” Sun Zhongwei, chairman of Shenzhen Hello Tech Energy, said, adding that distributed household energy storage is a future trend.

Schneider Electric, a global energy management and automation leader, demonstrated the innovative “grid of the future” scheme, integrating low-carbon and digital technologies.

“Intelligence and digitization are the clear directions of current grid construction and upgrading. Through digital transformation, we will build a more flexible power network and provide quality energy services,” Xue Yi, vice president of Schneider Electric’s energy management medium voltage business strategy and industry development, was quoted as saying.

Xue said that the most important feature of the new-type power system is equipment digitization, and that micro grids and virtual power plants are two key and interdependent links.    (Zhang Yu)
