Drives the Digital and Smart Transformation of the Power Industry: GBASE Wins 'Smart Innovation Award'

October 18-19, the 3rd Power Industry Digital Transformation Conference and the 5th Power Artificial Intelligence Conference were held in Hefei, Anhui.GBASE, a leading database vendor in China, showcased its full-stack products at the event and shared the practical achievements of GBase database in driving the digital and smart transformation of the power industry at the main forum, winning the 'Smart Hydropower Innovative Application Case Award' (referred to as the 'Smart Innovation Award').

The conference was co-hosted by the CPEM National Power Equipment Management Network, the National Energy Smart Grid (Shanghai) R&D Center, the Engineering Research Center of Intelligent Computing for Complex Energy Systems of the Ministry of Education, the Dual Carbon and Energy Innovation Working Committee of the China Electronics Labour Union, the Power Industry Artificial Intelligence Alliance, the Intelligent Panoramic System Simulation Committee of the China Simulation Society, and the AI Ecological Industry Collaboration Platform. It attracted over 1,100 delegates from the State Grid, China Southern Power Grid, power generation enterprises, provincial and municipal power companies, research institutions, design institutes, universities, and domestic and international AI R&D and manufacturing enterprises.

As a foundational and strategic industry for the national economy, the energy and power industry is crucial for ensuring national energy security and promoting sustainable economic and social development. With the acceleration of the global energy transition and the proposal of China's 'dual carbon' goals, promoting independent innovation in key core technologies for energy and power, and building a secure and controllable supply chain system to achieve high-quality digital and smart transformation, are the focus and key to the entire industry's development.

GBase Database Drives the Digital and Smart Transformation of the Power Industry

Zhao Jie, General Manager of the Energy and Transportation Department at GBASE, delivered a keynote speech titled 'GBASE Drives the Digital and Smart Transformation of the Power Industry' at the main forum.

Zhao Jie stated that the power industry is a foundational sector of the national economy. The stable operation of the power system is directly related to the normal functioning of the socio-economy and the stability of people's lives. With the development of smart grids and the power Internet of Things, the amount of data in all aspects of power generation, transmission, transformation, distribution, and consumption has increased dramatically. At the same time, the power industry is crucial to national energy security, making its data security requirements particularly stringent. Therefore, the power industry has extremely high requirements for the reliability, stability, security, and massive data processing capabilities of the database, a foundational software.

As an industry-leading foundational software vendor, GBASE has consistently focused on developing advanced, user-friendly, secure, and stable independent database products for two decades. Its centralized database product GBase 8s and distributed database product GBase 8a have passed the 'Security and Reliability Evaluation'. Leveraging its mastery of core database technologies, it helps power industry users build data platforms and various business systems with higher reliability, scalability, stability, and controllability, achieving the resonance of technological innovation and business development.

The power grid dispatch and control cloud model data center utilizes GBase database's high availability capabilities to achieve ultra-long-distance disaster recovery spanning thousands of kilometers, providing a foundation for horizontal and vertical data sharing among provincial, prefectural, and county-level power dispatch centers. A power plant's water dispatch automation system applied the GBase database to achieve a panoramic perception of watershed hydrological information, further enhancing the precise forecasting of watershed and reservoir inflows, intelligent decision-making in hydropower scheduling, and smart management of flood control and emergency command. In addition, GBase database provides payment for electricity purchase, consumption inquiry, information subscription, online customer service, and other related services for the handheld power interactive service platform ('Online State Grid'), covering 26 provincial-level administrative regions and serving a population of over 1.1 billion.

At the same time, GBASE offers product customization services tailored to the differentiated needs of power users for database products, allowing power enterprises to carry out customized development according to their own requirements. Complete technical support and after-sales service ensure the smooth operation and continuous optimization of the system.

GBASE Wins the Smart Hydropower Innovative Application Case Award

During the conference, the award ceremony for the 3rd 'Smart Innovation Award' for Digital and Smart Transformation Technology Innovation Applications in the Power Industry was held simultaneously, and GBASE won the 'Smart Hydropower Innovative Application Case Award'. In water conservancy and hydropower projects in multiple regions such as Shenzhen, Sichuan, Shaanxi, Gansu, Guangdong, Xinjiang, Henan, and Yunnan, the water energy optimization and utilization platform built with GBase database has realized application functions such as data aggregation and monitoring, and situational awareness of hydropower supply assurance, promoting the deep integration of multi-source hydropower dispatch data and electric power dispatch data from government, power grid, and power sources, and revolutionizing the challenges of information asymmetry and decision-making delays in traditional hydropower dispatch, thus winning the Smart Hydropower Innovative Application Case Award.

At the exhibition venue, GBase database was brilliantly presented alongside various digital and smart products and solutions in the power field, and the attending guests engaged in in-depth communication and exchanges regarding GBase database products and technologies.

Currently, GBASE has provided independent, innovative, secure, and controllable database products and technical services to more than 70 energy and power enterprises including State Grid, China Southern Power Grid, NARI Group, China Huaneng Group, State Power Investment Corporation (SPIC), China Energy, PipeChina, and Sinopec. In the future, GBASE will relentlessly explore the path of empowering the digital and smart transformation of the power industry, accelerating IT application innovation and scenario implementation in the energy and power industry, and contributing to the construction of Smart Power and Digital China.
