"This is the first top-level design document for vehicle-network interaction in China," Li Lili, deputy director of Tsinghua Sichuan Energy Internet Research Institute and the Institute of Optical Storage and Flexible Applied Technology, emphasized in an interview with China Energy News. Li Lili's team previously took the lead in the research and drafting of the policy document. He said that vehicle-network interaction is a complex system engineering across industries and departments, and the release of the "Implementation Opinions" will play a very critical role in coordinating and promoting various work at the national and local levels.
There are many participants in vehicle-network interaction, including electric vehicle users, charging and discharging service operators, electric vehicle load aggregation, virtual power plant operators, power grid enterprises, and power trading institutions. The top-level design and system co-ordination on the policy side provide a guarantee for the large-scale promotion of vehicle-network interaction.
Liu Yongdong, deputy secretary-general of the China Electricity Council, also pointed out that vehicle-network interaction is a project that gathers sand into a tower and integrates armpits. Realizing large-scale vehicle-network interaction requires top-level design by the government and the cooperation of all parties. He believes that in addition to policies, vehicle-network interaction also faces difficulties in terms of scale, mode, technology and standards.
The "Implementation Opinions" clarify the responsible departments for each key link of vehicle-network interaction. Specifically, the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration have coordinated the top-level design of vehicle-network interaction, actively promoted supporting policies, electricity prices and market mechanism construction, and strengthened guidance and supervision. MIIT and the National Energy Administration promote the application of intelligent and orderly charging functions for new energy vehicles and charging and exchange facilities. The National Standardization Administration organized the Standardization Technical Committee of Electric Vehicle Charging Facilities in the Energy Industry and the National Automobile Standardization Technical Committee to accelerate the construction of the vehicle network interaction standard system and guide the development of relevant international standards cooperation.
