  According to the relevant person in charge of the National Energy Administration, there is still a significant gap between China's energy technology innovation and the world's energy technology powerhouse and the inherent requirements of leading the energy revolution. For example, some energy technology equipment still has shortcomings, and energy technology equipment has no obvious advantages. , The policy mechanism to promote energy technology innovation needs to be improved.

  To this end, the "Planning" puts forward the overall goal of energy technology innovation during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period: basically achieve breakthroughs in the existing major short-board technical equipment in the energy field; forward-looking and disruptive energy technologies are rapidly emerging, and new business forms and new models continue to Emerging, forming a number of new advantages in energy longboard technology; further improving the energy technology innovation system that meets the requirements of high-quality development; energy technology innovation strongly supports and leads the high-quality development of the energy industry.

  The aforementioned person in charge stated that the "Plan" combines the energy development and project layout of the "14th Five-Year Plan", deploys relevant demonstration projects, effectively undertakes demonstration application tasks, and clarifies relevant policies and measures.

"The "Plan" focuses on the realization of energy technology self-reliance and self-improvement, and relies on improving the energy technology innovation system, focusing on strengthening the "short board" of energy technology equipment and the "long board" of forging energy technology equipment, supporting and enhancing the continuous and stable supply of energy and risks. management and control capabilities, and lead the construction of a clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient energy system.”

  Key tasks lead technology upgrades

  According to reports, the "Planning" mainly focuses on five major routes to tackle cutting-edge technologies -

  In terms of advanced renewable energy power generation and comprehensive utilization technologies, 17 key tasks have been laid out.

The "Plan" proposes to focus on the development and utilization of large-scale and high-proportion renewable energy, and to develop more efficient, more economical, and more reliable advanced power generation and integrated renewable energy sources such as hydro, wind, solar, biomass, geothermal and ocean energy. Use technology to support the high-quality development and utilization of the renewable energy industry.

  In terms of new power systems and their supporting technologies, 12 key technologies have been deployed, and it is proposed to accelerate strategic and forward-looking grid core technologies, support the construction of large-scale renewable energy and distributed power friendly grid integration, two-way interaction between source, grid and load, and Intelligent and efficient advanced power grid; breakthroughs in energy-type, power-type energy storage ontology and key technologies and core equipment for system integration to meet the development needs of energy storage in different application scenarios of the energy system.

  In terms of safe and efficient nuclear energy technology, 11 key tasks are laid out, and it is proposed to focus on improving the level of nuclear power technology and equipment and project economics, carry out optimization research on key technologies of third-generation nuclear power, and support the establishment of standardized models and model pedigrees; strengthen strategic and forward-looking nuclear energy technology innovation, Carry out research on key core technologies of a new generation of advanced nuclear energy systems such as small modular reactors, (ultra) high temperature gas-cooled reactors, and molten salt reactors.

  In terms of green and efficient fossil energy development and utilization technologies, it is proposed to focus on enhancing oil and gas security capabilities, carry out key core technologies related to conventional and unconventional oil and gas exploration and development, transportation and refining, and effectively support oil and gas exploration and development and the construction of natural gas production, supply and marketing systems etc., a total of 37 key technical breakthroughs have been proposed.

  In terms of digital and intelligent technology of energy system, it is proposed to focus on the integrated development of new generation information technology and energy, carry out research on common key technologies of digitalization and intelligence in the energy field, and promote the depth of traditional industries such as coal, oil and gas, power plants, and power grids with digital and intelligent technologies. Integrate, carry out pilot demonstrations of integration of various energy plants and stations and regional smart energy systems, and lead the transformation and upgrading of the energy industry. A total of 16 key tasks are laid out.

  Eight aspects to ensure and escort energy innovation

  In order to ensure the orderly development of energy science and technology innovation during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, the "Plan" focuses on innovation synergy mechanism, innovation platform system, demonstration application of achievements, main body status of enterprises, technical standard system, planned financial support, international cooperation in science and technology, and scientific and technological talents. In eight aspects, including training, relevant safeguard measures were put forward.

  The "Plan" makes it clear that the energy technology innovation platform system will be improved, and the demonstration application of energy technology achievements will be promoted.

Establish and improve various energy technology innovation platform systems at the national, departmental, local, and enterprise levels, build an open and cooperative, co-created and shared innovation ecosystem, improve the policy for the first (set) of energy equipment, and encourage localities and users to formulate supporting measures to " Promoting demonstration applications based on the principle of "use wherever necessary".

  Zhang Jianhua believes that it is necessary to promote the deep integration of energy technology with modern information, new materials and advanced manufacturing technology, and explore new models of energy production and consumption.

"Improve the energy science and technology innovation system, integrate and optimize scientific and technological resources, implement systems such as 'revelation and leadership', and guide all kinds of social capital to invest in the field of energy science and technology innovation."

  Enterprises are the main body of technological innovation.

The "Plan" encourages enterprises of all types of ownership to carry out strong alliances and in-depth industry-university-research cooperation around the energy industry chain and innovation chain, focus on breakthroughs in key core technologies, and clearly to strengthen international cooperation in energy technology innovation, based on independent innovation under open conditions, and actively participate in energy Practical cooperation between multilateral mechanisms and international organizations in the field of science and technology.

In addition, the "Plan" also proposes to accelerate the cultivation of energy technology innovation talents, relying on major energy projects to accelerate the cultivation of young and middle-aged backbone talents in technology research and development, technology management, achievement transformation, etc., to meet the supply of interdisciplinary professionals.
