A Smarter Grid Operation: New Energy Management Systems in China

The power grid in China has been developing rapidly with the improvement of the national economy and standard of living. By the end of 2016, China's installed power generation capacity had reached 1,646 GW . Currently, China?s power grid has the largest installed capacity, the highest voltage level [1,000 -kV ultra-high voltage (UHV)], and the largest annual power generation in the world. The operation of such a large-scale power grid poses many major challenges for electric power control centers.
