Honeywell And TEDA Launch China’s First Smart Grid Demand Response Project

霍尼韋爾與泰達啟動中國首個智能電網(wǎng)需求響應項目

Tianjin, China, January 5, 2012 – Honeywell (NYSE: HON) today signed an agreement with the Tianjin Economic-Technological Development Area (TEDA) to implement China’s first Smart Grid Demand Response project.State Grid Electric Power Research Institute selected Honeywell to develop the project in February. Today’s signing also represents the official launch of the Demand Response System Pilot jointly sponsored by the Chinese and United States governments through the U.S.-China Energy Cooperation Program (ECP), which aims to develop a nationwide set of smart grid industry standards and regulations in China.

天津1月5日消息——霍尼韋爾今日與天津經(jīng)濟技術(shù)開發(fā)區(qū)（TEDA）簽署協(xié)議，實施中國首個智能電網(wǎng)需求響應項目。2月份，國家電網(wǎng)電力研究院選定霍尼韋爾實施該項目。今天的簽約也意味著該需求響應系統(tǒng)示范項目的正式啟動，這一示范項目是中美能源合作計劃(ECP)的一部分，旨在推動中國智能電網(wǎng)行業(yè)標準和相關(guān)法規(guī)的開發(fā)和制定，得到了兩國政府的全力支持。

Under the Honeywell-TEDA agreement, Honeywell will conduct a demonstration project using its automated demand response (Auto DR) technology at select facilities within the TEDA development area, including office buildings, government and commercial facilities, and industrial plants.

根據(jù)雙方簽署的協(xié)議，霍尼韋爾將在天津泰達術(shù)開發(fā)區(qū)的選定設施上部署自動需求響應(Auto DR)技術(shù)開展示范項目，其中包括辦公樓、政府設施和商用樓宇以及工業(yè)廠房。

Buildings account for approximately 70 percent of all electrical use and a majority of greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. Honeywell’s smart grid technology and expertise connects the utility and its customers so they can automatically adjust energy consumption to reduce demands on the energy grid.

全球有大約70%的電力消耗和大部分的溫室氣體排放都來自于建筑物。霍尼韋爾的智能電網(wǎng)技術(shù)和專長將供電設施和其用戶緊密相連，以幫助用戶自動調(diào)整能耗，減少對電網(wǎng)的需求。

With Honeywell's Auto DR technology, customers establish customized energy reduction strategies for their facilities that are put into action automatically by utilities during a demand-response event. Through Auto DR, utilities can quickly and reliably reduce overall energy consumption during peak use periods, and commercial customers can cut their energy use and costs without compromising critical operations. Auto DR helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions and the need to run expensive “peak power” plants, which typically sit idle until customers require more electricity than the utility is able to provide using its primary, base-load generators.

利用霍尼韋爾自動需求響應技術(shù)，用戶可以為其設施制定個性化的節(jié)能策略，在需求響應事件中，由供電設施自動執(zhí)行。通過自動需求響應技術(shù)，設施可以在用電高峰時段快速可靠地減少總體能耗，而商業(yè)用戶可以在不影響關(guān)鍵業(yè)務的情況下，降低能耗及成本。自動需求響應技術(shù)還有助于減少溫室氣體排放，降低電網(wǎng)在用電高峰時段的負荷，減少“峰值電廠”的昂貴運行成本，這些工廠通常處于閑置狀態(tài)，只有在用戶所需電量超過了供電設施日常負荷發(fā)電機的供電能力范圍時才會啟用。

Deployment of Auto DR can effectively reduce peak loads by 15 to 30 percent and, when done at scale, can create the effect of a “virtual power plant” that generates “negawatts” – or reduced demand – instead of megawatts. The project will help TEDA to improve its investment and operational profile, as well as make a contribution to energy efficiency and the environment.

部署自動需求響應技術(shù)可有效減少15%-30%的峰值負荷，如果大規(guī)模實施，就相當于建立了一個“虛擬發(fā)電廠”，提高電能的利用效率從而達到降低需求的效果。該項目有助于天津泰達經(jīng)濟技術(shù)開發(fā)區(qū)提升投資環(huán)境和運營環(huán)境，同時將為提升能效和推動環(huán)保作出貢獻。

As the world’s largest energy user, China seeks to develop a “smarter” electrical grid to better manage the country's growing demand for energy and improve the reliability and efficiency of nation’s utility infrastructure. Adding intelligence to the grid will enable utility customers, such as energy-intensive commercial and industrial operations, to better manage how and when they use their energy based on its availability and price. China is expected to spend RMB 1.5 trillion on its energy infrastructure during the 12th Five-Year Guideline period ending in 2015, with the long-term goal of having a robust smart grid operational throughout the country by 2020.

作為全球最大的能源消費國，中國尋求建立一個“更智能”的電網(wǎng)，以此來更好地管理與日俱增的能源需求，并提高國家電力基礎設施的可靠性和效率。電網(wǎng)智能化可以幫助能源密集的商業(yè)和工業(yè)用戶，根據(jù)能源的可用性和價格來更加有效地管理用電的方式和時間。截至2015年的“十二五”規(guī)劃期，中國在智能電網(wǎng)上的投資預計將達到1.5萬億元人民幣，到2020年的長期目標是全面建成強大的智能電網(wǎng)。

“Cutting demand and consumption is cheapest and cleanest source of energy, and this project will create the bridge between the utility and its customers to make ‘using less’ easy and automatic,” said Stephen Shang, president of Honeywell China. “With the unique combination of advanced technology and energy experience and expertise from Honeywell, I am sure this demonstration project will not only bring economic benefits to TEDA, but will support the development of relevant standards and regulations for the broader deployment of smart grid solutions in China."

霍尼韋爾中國區(qū)總裁盛偉立表示：“減少需求和消費是最便宜、最潔凈的能源管理手段，該項目將在供電方和用戶間搭建橋梁，使節(jié)能變得更容易、更自動化。我相信，憑借霍尼韋爾先進的技術(shù)，豐富的能效經(jīng)驗和專長，這次示范項目將不僅會給天津泰達經(jīng)濟技術(shù)開發(fā)區(qū)帶來優(yōu)勢，而且能為需求響應技術(shù)在中國更大范圍的部署建立相關(guān)標準和規(guī)范提供支持。”

“We are honored to join hands with Honeywell to conduct China’s first smart grid demand response project at TEDA,” said Ai Yaming, Deputy Director of TEDA. “This is a very important energy saving initiative for TEDA on our mission to build a resource-efficient and environmentally-friendly environment. We are committed to making this pilot project successful, and look forward to deploying the Auto DR technology more broadly in the future.”

天津經(jīng)濟技術(shù)開發(fā)區(qū)管委會副主任艾亞民表示：“我們很榮幸與霍尼韋爾攜手，在天津泰達經(jīng)濟技術(shù)開發(fā)區(qū)實施中國首個智能電網(wǎng)需求響應項目。這對于天津經(jīng)濟技術(shù)開發(fā)區(qū)建設資源節(jié)約型、環(huán)境友好型的社會目標，一個重要的節(jié)能環(huán)保舉措。我們致力于這一示范項目的成功，并期待未來將在更大范圍內(nèi)部署自動需求響應技術(shù)。”
