Laboratory of electric power supply-demand by intelligent engineering

Electricity demand is depend closely with national economic growth since the all most economical activities have to use electricity. So, it is necessary to study economic growth for electricity demand and balancing electric power supply-demand There are many semi-structured and unstructured problems in studying electric power supply-demand, which are very difficult to be solved by the traditional methods. In this paper, a laboratory of power supply-demand based on intelligent engineering is developed to do the national policy study and simulate economic operating for analyzing electricity supply-demand. It is in the closed-up model as ¿forecast - early warning - intelligent simulation experiment - expert discussion - forecast¿. The main functions of the laboratory and their features are suitable for policymakers to see what will be happened on economic operation and electricity demand with some national policies on promoting economic growth and energy efficiency An experiment about policy simulation is given to show how to use the laboratory. It has been used in 31 area and provincial electric power grids under State Grid Co. of China. The applications have showed that it is a useful tool to do policy analysis, national economic-energy simulation, and energy efficiency for both power supply and demand.
