On December 13th, at the 2022 Carbon Peak Carbon Neutralization Forum and the 10th Shenzhen International Low Carbon City Forum (hereinafter referred to as the "Forum"), Shenzhen held a large-scale centralized signing ceremony for virtual power plant aggregators, marking the initial establishment of the industrial ecology of Shenzhen's virtual power plant and its development on the fast track. It is expected that the entire city's 5G communication base station energy storage will be fully connected to the Shenzhen Virtual Power Plant Management Center by 2023, providing a fast and flexible adjustment capability of over 200000 kilowatts to ensure the safety of the energy and power system; By 2025, Shenzhen will build a virtual power plant with adjustable capacity of 1 million kilowatts, forming a stable regulation capacity of about 5% of the annual maximum load.


At the ceremony, Shenzhen Virtual Power Plant Management Center first signed a six-party cooperation agreement for the construction of virtual power plants with China Tower, China Telecom, China Mobile, China Unicom, Huawei Digital Energy, and other units. The six parties will work together to promote the full access of the city's 5G communication base station energy storage to the Shenzhen Virtual Power Plant Management Center, explore the business model and industrialized application model of 5G base stations and other load resources participating in demand side response, spot market, and auxiliary service market, and provide replicable and promotable experience for the reuse of the "sleeping" resources of the national 5G base stations.

Subsequently, the Shenzhen Virtual Power Plant Management Center signed contracts with 36 virtual power plant aggregators, including large load aggregators such as State Power Investment Corporation, China Guangdong Nuclear Power Corporation, Shenzhen Energy, Shenzhen Electric Power, Shenzhen Guangdong Energy, China Resources Power, and Energy Technology Corporation, as well as large charging enterprises such as Southern Power Grid Electric Power, Special Power, Star Charging, Putian New Energy, Aotexun, Xiaoju New Energy, Ulan Fast Charging, and Xiaolan Fast Charging, as well as Midea Group, Academy of Construction Sciences Representatives of construction and building resources such as Qianhai Energy and Shenshi Zero Carbon, as well as energy storage resources and application representatives such as Ningde Times, Xinwangda, Nanshan Thermal Power Plant, Yuhu Power Plant, Weilai Energy, Jianwang Technology, and many other virtual power plants such as Shanghai Complete Set Institute, Megawatt Cloud, Kezhongyun, Hengshi Technology, Maisijie, Shengneng Technology, Xinneng Institute, Xinnuo Data, Hanchi Technology, Jianwang Technology, Hefei Force Upstream and downstream enterprises in the industrial chain such as equipment manufacturing. They will work together to promote technological innovation and industrial development related to virtual power plants, further expand the participation of virtual power plants in Shenzhen, promote the development of comprehensive demonstration projects for virtual power plants, enhance the flexible adjustment ability of virtual power plants to participate in new power systems, and help accelerate the construction of a modern urban new energy system in Shenzhen.

It is understood that virtual power plants are an important component of Shenzhen's "dual carbon" work. It can aggregate and optimize the management and control of power load resources such as charging piles, air conditioners, and energy storage scattered among end users through energy internet technology, which is equivalent to building a "cloud based power plant". The aggregator acts as a third-party agent between the power grid and end users, aggregating small and numerous "retail" power loads and representing users to interact with the grid. For example, a 5G base station typically has a lot of spare energy storage that is usually idle, and aggregators can aggregate it to participate in grid scheduling.

Currently, China Southern Power Grid Corporation has built a virtual power plant in Shenzhen with the highest data collection density, the most comprehensive access load types, the most direct control resources, and the most comprehensive application scenarios in China. The cumulative access resource scale exceeds 1 million kilowatts, including adjustable load resources such as charging piles, building air conditioners, and energy storage systems, which are about 800000 kilowatts, distributed optical voltage, and real-time maximum adjustable load capacity of about 180000 kilowatts. On August 26, 2022, the first virtual power plant management center in China was established in Shenzhen, with the center located in the Shenzhen Power Supply Bureau of China Southern Power Grid. It is expected that by 2025, virtual power plants will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 540000 tons per year in Shenzhen, helping Shenzhen accelerate the creation of a new energy system and achieve the "dual carbon" goal.

It is reported that, as an important supporting force for the development of Shenzhen's green and low-carbon industry, China Southern Power Grid Corporation is actively promoting the construction of a new energy system in Shenzhen, and the "South Grid Element" has frequently appeared at this forum. Meanwhile, Tang Shouquan, Chairman of Shenzhen Power Supply Bureau of China Southern Power Grid, was invited to participate in the high-end dialogue of the main forum; Cai Xipeng, President of China Southern Power Grid Research Institute, delivered a speech entitled "Building a New Electric Power System to Help Achieve the" Double Carbon "Goal at the Green Energy Forum"; Li Minhong, General Manager of Shenzhen Power Supply Bureau of China Southern Power Grid, delivered a speech entitled "Seizing New Opportunities for Low Carbon Energy Development in the Bay Area and Building a Network of Energy Ecological Services in Shenzhen" at the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area Green Development Summit Forum. The Energy Conservation and Low Carbon Industry Expo also comprehensively demonstrated innovative achievements such as adjustable resource access, standard formulation, and practical exercises for Shenzhen virtual power plants.
