未来7年中东和北非智能电网支出将超170亿美元

原标题：未来7年中东和北非智能电网支出将超170亿美元

中国石化新闻网讯 据油气新闻网站2月25日迪拜报道 根据《2020年能源和公用事业市场展望报告》，中东和北非地区的智能电网投资有望在未来7年达到176亿美元，这是对可再生能源的更多关注推动的一次激增。

这一增长预测来自全球能源平台中东能源的组织者Informa Markets的报告，该平台将于3月3日至5日在迪拜世贸中心（DWTC）举行第45届会议，为期两天的可再生能源会议将使人们关注不断飙升的可再生能源需求。

中东能源展览总监Claudia Konieczna解释说：“几乎所有中东和北非国家都在建立或规划可再生能源项目，包括太阳能和风能。”光伏太阳能成本的大幅下降促使地区公用事业公司推进了一些全球最大的太阳能项目，分析人士认为，到2025年太阳能将占到该地区清洁能源产出的37%。

“对智能电网市场的影响是巨大的，因为可再生能源的利用无法通过传统的电网系统有效推进，而传统电网系统现在正迅速过时。”

英国能源服务专家表示，可再生能源成为该地区首选能源的趋势将迫使中东和北非地区重新考虑电网基础设施。

全球Uniper能源服务总监Doug Waters表示，中东和北非地区的电网改造是优化可再生能源利用的必要条件。

“随着可再生能源普及率的提高，以及更多的分散和嵌入，包括新技术和需求（如电动汽车），那么电网必须适应。诸如识别需求和实时发电（即使是深度嵌入式）管理惯性、电压控制和其他服务等问题，将需要使用新的电网技术和数字化。”

Doug Waters将在第二天（3月4日）的中东能源可再生能源会议上发表讲话，讨论重要可再生能源融入电网、能源转型对石化资产的影响以及数字技术如何协助这一进程等。

Mena smart grid spend ‘to top $17bn by 2027’

Smart grid investment in the Mena region is on track to reach $17.6 billion over the next seven years, a surge driven by greater attention to renewable energy sources, according to the Energy & Utilities Market Outlook Report 2020,

The growth forecast emerged from the report by Informa Markets, organiser of the mega Middle East Energy, the global energy platform that returns for a 45th edition at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from 3-5 March, and which will shine the spotlight on soaring demand for renewables with two-day Renewables Conference.

“Almost all Mena countries are establishing or planning renewable projects, including solar and wind,” explained Claudia Konieczna, exhibition director, Middle East Energy. “The steep decline in the cost of photovoltaic solar has prompted regional utilities to progress some of the world’s largest solar projects and analysts believe that by 2025, solar will amount to 37% of the region’s clean energy output.

“The impact for the smart grid market is immense as utilisation of renewable energy cannot be efficiently progressed through conventional grid systems which are now rapidly becoming outdated.”

The trend towards renewables as the region’s preferred energy sources will force a major Mena rethink on grid infrastructures, according to a UK energy services expert.

Doug Waters, Director of Energy Services - Global, Uniper Energy Services says Mena grid transformation is integral to optimising renewable utilisation.

“As renewable penetration increases and is more decentralised and embedded, including new technologies and demands like electric vehicles, then the grid must adapt. Issues such as identifying demand and generation real time - even when deeply embedded - managing inertia, voltage control and other services will require the use of new grid technology and digitalization,” explained Waters.

Waters will address Middle East Energy’s Renewables Conference on day two (4 March) on the integration into the grid of significant renewables, the implications for fossil assets in energy transition and how digital technology can assist the process.
