The second one is that Chinese power grid must take the road of constructing strong grids. These strong grids hav

Finally, the paper presents some suggestions on construction of Chinese smart grid.KEY WORDS: information engineering ; smart grid ;sustainable development;temporal orderIntroductionSince entering the 21st century, Chinas demand for electricity
6、has been very high due to the rapid development of its economy. At the same time, the problems related to climate change, environmental protection and sustainable development have been increasingly noticeable. As the basic industry that combines production materials with living essentials, electrici
7、ty industry is inevitably drawing much attention from society, government and the public.Meanwhile, as the largest user of primary energy resources, electricity industry cannot shirk its responsibility on lowering the emissions of greenhouse gases and attenuating its negative impacts on climate, whi
8、ch is particularly true for China. In 2008, China ranked the second place in the world in terms of the total emissions of greenhouse gases with its 16 cities joining the worlds top 20 most-polluted ones. Besides, the direct losses brought about by acid rains are over 100 billion yuan. So, it is an u
9、rgent mission to save energy and abate emissions and turn the society into a resource-saving and environmentally friendly one1. With the development of digital economy and information era, the requirements of consumers for power supply reliability, power quality and services become increasingly high
10、. Therefore, it turns to be a social problem to accelerate the mode transition of power production, transmission, and consumption and that of electricity industry development. In this scenario, China and some European and American countries have made some efforts in solving the related problems acco
11、rding to their own conditions. The achievements made include application of UHV, distributed generation, and power electronics technology, development of electricity market, and rapid development of renewable energy sources. Impressively, from these efforts germinates and grows the concept of smart
12、grid.By comparing the smart grids in China with those in the US and Europe and considering the conditions of energy resources and the interior driving forces of grids in China, this paper presents the main characteristics of Chinas grids, analyzes the four aspects that need much attention while cons
13、tructing Chinas smart grids, and reveals that only strong and smart grid can meet the requirements for building a resource-saving and environmentally friendly society in China.1 Comparisons of smart grids in China and those in US and EuropeComparisons of smart grids in China and those in US and Euro
