中國儲能網(wǎng)訊:日前,施耐德電氣發(fā)布的一份新的調(diào)查報告表明,85%的大公司正在考慮通過節(jié)能項目來減少能源使用;超過50%的企業(yè)計劃在不久的將來采用可再生能源。而大多數(shù)接受調(diào)查的企業(yè)都沒有考慮如何積極采用對能源行業(yè)發(fā)展具有顛覆性的技術(shù)與措施,如微電網(wǎng)、儲能、需求響應(yīng)策略。
據(jù)報道,只有30%的企業(yè)已經(jīng)實施或正在積極計劃使用儲能部署、微電網(wǎng)、熱電聯(lián)產(chǎn)或者這些技術(shù)的組合,只有23%的企業(yè)實施了需求響應(yīng)策略或計劃在短期內(nèi)實施。
施耐德電氣的報告中指出這是一個問題,因為這表明企業(yè)現(xiàn)在需要了解如何成為積極參與者來降低他們的設(shè)施產(chǎn)生的能源消耗。
施耐德電氣董事長兼首席執(zhí)行官Jean-Pascal Tricoire在新聞發(fā)布會上說:“我們正處于能源消耗和能源生產(chǎn)方式的重大顛覆性的進程中。企業(yè)對環(huán)保的普遍關(guān)注是積極的。然而,成為一個精明的能源消費者只是企業(yè)生存和發(fā)展所需要的一部分。企業(yè)需要準備成為一個積極的能源參與者,將一些資源和業(yè)務(wù)投入到能源生產(chǎn)方面,并與電網(wǎng)、公用事業(yè)、業(yè)界同行以及其他新的市場進入者進行互動?!?
而這種進步的一個主要障礙可能是內(nèi)部一致性。61%的受訪者表示,他們組織的能源和可持續(xù)發(fā)展決策在相關(guān)團隊和部門之間并沒有得到很好的協(xié)調(diào),其是在消費品和工業(yè)企業(yè)中。此外,這些受訪者表示,企業(yè)之間缺乏合作是一個挑戰(zhàn)。
數(shù)據(jù)管理也是綜合能源和碳排放管理的另一個障礙,45%的受訪者表示,組織數(shù)據(jù)是高度分散的,通常只是在地方或區(qū)域的層面處理。而有些人認為數(shù)據(jù)共享和項目評估工具/指標不足,65%的人認為目前管理數(shù)據(jù)只是在地方、區(qū)域或國家層面實施,而沒有在全球?qū)用嫔蠈嵤?
這項研究是由GreenBiz Research進行的,旨在確定企業(yè)如何制定能源和環(huán)境戰(zhàn)略,收集和共享數(shù)據(jù),以及跨部門協(xié)調(diào),也就是施耐德所謂的“主動能源管理”。調(diào)查的參與者包括負責(zé)能源和可持續(xù)性管理的專業(yè)人員、高管和董事會成員,此外,還對11個主要領(lǐng)域的230多家公司進行了調(diào)查,其中包括消費品、能源/公用事業(yè)、金融、工業(yè)、醫(yī)療、科技等行業(yè)領(lǐng)域。(中國儲能網(wǎng)獨家編譯,轉(zhuǎn)載請注明來源)

Report: Companies Need to Think Beyond Renewable Energy
January 23, 2018
By Renewable Energy World Editors
On the first day of DTECH, Schneider Electric released the findings of a new report that shows that while 85 percent of major corporations are thinking about reducing energy use through energy efficiency programs and more than 50 percent plan to implement renewable energy in the near future, the vast majority of the companies surveyed were not considering how to actively participate in the incredible disruption that the energy industry is undergoing, such as microgrids, energy storage, and demand response strategies.
According to the report, just 30 percent have implemented or are actively planning to use energy storage, microgrids, combined heat and power, or some mix of the technologies and only 23 percent have demand response strategies or plan to in the near term.
Schneider views this as a problem because it says that companies need to understand now how to be active participants the way that energy is consumed and generated on their premises.
“We are in the middle of a massive disruption in the way energy is consumed and produced,” said Jean-Pascal Tricoire, Chairman and CEO at Schneider Electric in a press release. “The near-universal focus on conservation is a positive. However, being a savvy consumer is only a part of what’s needed to survive and thrive. Companies need to prepare to be an active energy participant, putting the pieces in place to produce energy, and interact with the grid, utilities, peers and other new entrants,” he added.
A primary barrier to progress may be internal alignment. Sixty-one percent of respondents said their organization’s energy and sustainability decisions are not well coordinated across relevant teams and departments, particularly true for consumer goods and industrial businesses. In addition, the same number of respondents said lack of collaboration is a challenge.
Data management was cited as another obstacle for integrated energy and carbon management, with 45 percent of respondents stating that organizational data is highly decentralized, handled at local or regional levels. And of the people who identified “insufficient tools/metrics for data sharing and project evaluation” as a challenge for working across departments, 65 percent manage data at the local, regional or national — not global — level.
The study was conducted by GreenBiz Research to identify how businesses develop energy and environmental strategies, collect and share data, and coordinate across departments — a practice Schneider calls “Active Energy Management.” Participants included professionals responsible for energy and sustainability management, from C-suite and board members to individual contributors. More than 230 companies were surveyed representing 11 primary segments, including consumer goods, energy/utilities, finance, industrial, healthcare and technology.
