Strategies and system architecture for the ICT-Energy convergence
The global demand for green and low-carbon development was analyzed,highlighting that despite sus-tained increases in global carbon emissions,current efforts fall short of achieving the temperature targets set forth by the Paris Agreement.Green and low-carbon development has thus emerged as a universal consensus and a prevailing trend worldwide.China's current energy situation and relevant policies were further described,asserting that the ICT-Energy convergence is an inevitable path for future societal digitalization and low-carbonization.Then,the ob-jectives and system architecture of ICT-Energy convergence were proposed.Central to the role of ICT Systems,the architecture embodies three core functionalities,realizing efficient management across all segments of the energy sector through intelligent control,fostering cross-domain synergy between ICT and energy networks and empowering various industries.An exploration of the system synergy mechanisms was conducted within the ICT-Energy converged architec-ture,and implementation pathways and strategic recommendations for ICT-Energy convergence were outlined.
