On June 16, German local time, the International Seminar on New Energy Development and Technology with the theme of "Innovation Leading, Standard Promotion, Cooperation and Sharing, Interconnection" was successfully held in Frankfurt, Germany. The seminar was co-organized by the State Grid Corporation of China and the International Electrotechnical Commission, co-organized by the German Association of Electrical Engineers, the German Electrical, Electronics and Information Technology Commission, and Siemens. More than 130 representatives from international organizations such as the International Energy Agency, the International Renewable Energy Agency and government agencies, power companies, research institutions, universities, manufacturers and other units from 19 countries participated in the conference to exchange new energy development achievements and experiences , To discuss the problems and challenges faced by the development of new energy, to study ideas and measures to solve the problems, and to jointly promote the global energy green transition.

Shu Yinbiao, Chairman of the State Grid Corporation of China and Vice Chairman of IEC, delivered a speech at the conference and delivered a keynote speech entitled "Deepening Cooperation to Address Challenges and Jointly Promote the Sustainable Development of New Energy". Wang Weidong, Chinese Minister Counselor in Germany, delivered a speech at the conference. Hedan Shao Siteng, Director of the German Ministry of Economy and Energy, Manuel Ettore, Minister of Science, Technology and Higher Education of Portugal, Andreas Kullman, Director of the German Energy Agency, Deputy General Manager and Management Committee of the Russian Grid Corporation Member Roman Berdnikov, Xiang Haiping, Director of the Department of Market Supervision of the National Energy Administration of China, Enske Hans, General Manager of the German Institute of Electrical Engineers, and Cedric Neko, a member of the board of directors of Siemens, were invited to attend the conference and do Keynote speech.

At present, accelerating the development of new energy and promoting the transition to clean and low-carbon energy have become a global trend. The meeting believed that the realization of energy transition is a long-term system engineering, of which the large-scale development and utilization of new energy is the core measure, the complete re-electrification of energy production and consumption is the basic way, and the interconnected, intelligent and efficient modern power grid is the basic platform. The continuous and rapid development of new energy such as wind energy and solar energy has made it possible for human society to get rid of dependence on fossil energy and gradually build an energy supply system with clean energy as the main body. At the same time, the large-scale development and utilization of new energy still faces many problems and challenges, including system security problems caused by large-scale high-proportion access, long-distance transportation problems caused by the gradual shift of development focus to remote areas, and development costs Technical and economic problems caused by high levels. The participating experts and scholars conducted in-depth exchanges and discussions based on the actual conditions of their countries, regions, and enterprises, and proposed measures to solve problems in terms of technology, standards, cooperation, and power grids. Everyone believes that technological innovation and policy innovation are important driving forces leading to the sustainable development of new energy. Strong power grid facilities and a sound standard system are the basic projects to promote the development of new energy. The joint participation of the whole society and international exchanges and cooperation are important for cohesiveness and cohesion. Solving the puzzle is also crucial.

The meeting fully affirmed and highly praised China's work and achievements in developing new energy, promoting green energy transition, and tackling climate change. As the world's largest energy producer and consumer, China has issued a series of supporting policies in recent years to promote the development and utilization of new energy, has done a lot of fruitful work, and has made outstanding contributions to global emissions reduction. At the end of 2016, China's installed wind power and solar power generation capacity were 150 million kilowatts and 80 million kilowatts, respectively, ranking first in the world. At the same time, vigorously reduce coal and coal power production capacity, and promote the use of electricity to replace coal and electricity to replace oil in areas such as transportation, industry and commerce, and residents' lives. In 2016-2017, more than 440 million tons of coal production capacity will be withdrawn, and construction will be eliminated, suspended and delayed. Build a coal-fired power capacity of more than 50 million kilowatts to make room for the development of new energy.
