ENN Group: Pan Energy Net initiates clean energy reform

Company profile
 
Established in 1989, ENN Group has its business cover energy distribution and retail, smart energy, energy and chemical industry, energy engineering, environmental technology, solar energy and other related industries. To the end of 2014, the Group's total assets have more than 94.5 billion yuan, with more than 300 wholly-owned, holding companies and subsidiaries throughout the world. ENN Group firstly developed the Pan Energy Net technology in China, and integrated the gas network, power network, heat network and other conventional energy network system into one, and made efficient conversion and recycling for other categories of energy,    maximizing the system efficiency.
 
Challenges
 
With the rapid development of China's economy for decades, the negative effect of the extensive economic growth is gradually emerging. Energy crisis and environmental pollution has become increasingly serious, and caused severe problems to people's daily life. Fundamentally to solve these problems needs the green transformation of economy. But currently the energy facilities of different regions and enterprises are decentralized , and the construction cost is very high. But most of them fail to operate at full load, so, efficiency is very low. Therefore, to systematically solve the problem of energy and pollution is the only way for green economy transformation.
 
At the same time, since its inception, ENN Group has been focused on the development and innovation of clean energy. Continuous practice and thinking endows ENN Group to gradually realize that to solve the energy and environmental crisis, reforming the entire energy system is a must. Therefore, the company is faced with challenges, like how to integrate the company's business into economic transformation, how to provide the comprehensive solution for an operational and efficient clean energy.
 
Solutions
 
In the overall background of the Internet era, ENN Group creatively proposed and developed the Pan Energy Net, and took it as the solution to promote the modern energy system. Pan Energy Net is a smart energy network which highly integrates the Internet of Things, energy internet and Internet, and links the energy production end and application end, which not only changes the traditional “supply-oriented” extensive power mode. Such kind of mode not only adjusts its measures to local conditions and realizes the use of the nearest energy and cascade utilization, but also breaks the “industry barriers” and “enterprises wall” through the interaction of supply and demand and energy trading according to the principle of proximity. This net maximizes the use of complementary energy and waste energy and the energy equipment efficiency ,thus  maximizing the value of energy resources.
 
Energy full life cycle covered
 
Through cleaner production of coal, ENN Group forms the coal-based clean energy industry. Through combining the characteristics of China’s coal resource, the company develops coal catalytic gasification, underground gasification, supercritical gasification, hydrogenation gasification, coke oven gas LNG and other technologies, transforms the coal into clean gas, and develops the microalgae biofuel technology, and solar energy efficient conversion technology, which realizes carbon dioxide recycling and achieves energy saving and emission reduction; Through regional clean energy solutions, the company links the energy production, recycling and application, forms a systematic energy efficiency system, and establishes a kind of circular economy with four links, namely energy production, storage, application and regeneration.
 
Take the ten-hectare ENN energy ecocity in Langfang in Hebei Province as an example, it uses all ENN current new energy technologies, and enables the city to use almost its own energy to run, achieving near zero energy input. Ecocity takes the intelligent building as the main part, and shows the intelligent control process of energy from the energy production, storage, application and recycling.
 
Promote industrialization
 
In order to accelerate the industrialization process of Pan Energy Net, to works with partners for complementary effect has become an inevitable choice for ENN. In June 2014, EEN Group and the global energy efficiency management expert Schneider Electric jointly established a joint venture - New Intelligent Energy System Control Co., Ltd..  as its controlling shareholder, ENN Group accounts for 60% of the shares.
 
The joint venture company positions itself as the system integrator cored with technology and provides system solutions for customers, which will provide sufficient funds to support the innovations on implementing mode around the “Internet Energy”, the efficiency control technology and products of energy integration, and the integrated control and management scheme of new regional multi- energy .
 
At the same time, the ENN Group also puts it to practice, and has vigorously promoted the Pen Energy planning, Pan Energy station, and micro net of Pan Energy business. by putting efforts from the “top-level design, monomer construction and network construction”, it has formed the Pan Energy Net development model relying on the micro Pan Energy Net to develop into contiguous network .
 
Achievements
 
Energy cascade utilization. The Pan Energy Net can make full use of the energy difference in the process of energy conversion to improve the energy utilization efficiency. For example, the project of Jiangsu Yancheng Pavilion Lake Hospital Pan Energy Station which was constructed based on ENN Group system efficiency theory, uses natural gas distributed energy technology and blends geothermal and other renewable energy systems, which makes system energy-saving rate reach 25%, and renewable energy utilization rate increases over 10%.
 
Efficient use of energy facilities. The core of Pan Energy Net technology is the power unit and an intelligent control platform, which makes natural gas and electricity transform into steam and optimize the supply of energy storage and transportation scheduling according to the energy consumption load, time period and using forms, of the different consumption carriers, promoting the energy storage and transportation and application more intelligent and reducing waste.
 
Help smart city construction. ENN Group Pan Energy Net provides technical experience and operation mode for the construction of smart city. it is estimated that the usage rate of renewable energy in ENN Ecocity is nearly 70%, green traffic amounted to 100%with waste recycling rate up to 90% and carbon emission reduction rate up to 70%.the comprehensive energy efficiency index is at the leading level.
 
ENN Group wins market opportunities. ENN Group has provided pan energy planning services for 14 cities with more than 1,000 square kilometers of urban / Park zone in China, provided Pan Energy Station services for 20 national cities with more than 3 thousand square meters construction and enterprises, and carried out the micro pan energy net demonstration projects construction in Langfang City Hebei Province, Qingdao Sino-German Eco Park, Shandong Province, Zhaoqing New Area and other regions. These projects  mainly focus on the regions with concentrated energy use, such as park zones, public buildings, large data centers, urban complex and transportation hubs and other formats. Currently, the projects in construction have been up to 40.
 
Prospect
 
On May 8, 2015, the ENN Pan Energy Net National Standardization Demonstration Project curtained in Langfang, Hebei Province. ENN Group is exploring a set of professional and systematic national standards through micro pan energy net in Langfang to promote the standardized and orderly construction of the project and rapid replication and promotion nationwide. Through technology advantage and standardization, ENN Group aims to break the trade barriers, promote energy production and consumption revolution, and increase the efficiency of energy utilization and environmental sustainable development. ENN Group hopes to work with more partners, and contribute to promoting the transformation of China's energy production, consumption structure and consumption habits, creating a beautiful ecology.
