By facilitating the flow of data elements and bridging all stages of the energy production chain, efficiency can be enhanced at every level of energy production, transmission, and consumptionThis optimization will significantly support the achievement of carbon neutrality goals“The digitalization and intelligence of the energy industry is an inevitable trend, with the core of digitalization centered on harnessing AI technology to improve energy efficiency and intelligence,” stated Cheng Lu, Vice President of New Energy and President of Faneng Network.

The energy-carbon intelligent control integrated machine represents just one of the many achievements stemming from New Energy's exploration into digital solutionsAccording to Cheng, "The future trajectory of energy systems will parallel that of autonomous vehicles, emphasizing seamless interaction, automatic assessment of environmental changes, and the capacity to identify optimal solutions independently."

In pursuit of this vision, New Energy has taken significant strides towards developing the "autonomous driving core" for modern energy systems, named the Faneng Simulation System

Unlike traditional methodologies in the energy sector that rely on mechanistic models combined with big data analytics for localized optimization, the Faneng Simulation System enables rapid, straightforward, and comprehensive generation of solutionsIt is equipped to dynamically recognize changes in resource environments and user demands, automatically adjusting the operation of equipment systems to maintain optimal performance, thereby safeguarding the secure and efficient operation of energy systems.

“The ‘autonomous driving system’ based on energy systems is poised to unlock new market values in the AI era, driving a comprehensive transformation and upgrade across the industry,” Cheng Lu remarkedThis innovative approach not only emphasizes operational excellence but also aligns with the broader mission of promoting sustainable practices in energy use, demonstrating a forward-thinking commitment to environmental stewardship and innovation.
