The smart micro-grid project of the Beijing new energy industry base has been put into operation in the high-tech incubator within the Badaling economic zone in Yanqing county, Beijing recently.

It is China's first pilot project on new energy micro-grid, which has reached the world's advanced level. This project is expected to be introduced to the other area of Yanqing county in the future. By then Yanqing county will bid farewell to thermal power generation.

In the high-tech incubator, there are three wind turbines and numerous solar panels on the roofs. All the new-energy generating equipment is an important component of the smart micro-grid.

The smart micro-grid can work independently after being separated from the main grid and provide electricity for some or all of the important electric equipment. With the application of information technology and new-energy technology and other advanced technologies, the smart micro-grid, unlike the traditional grid, sees little power loss during long-distance transmission and imposes no challenges to the environment.

Yanqing county has many new-energy power generation projects such as wind power projects, solar power projects and biogas power projects. With the smart micro-grid, the power generated by these new-energy projects can be stored during the off-peak hours and used during the peak hours; the transmission between the small micro-grid and the main grid can be secured.
