en.Wedoany.com Reported - The "AI+Space and Satellite Application Technology Academic Exchange Conference," a key event of the Second Digital Ecosystem Conference for the Energy and Power Industry, was held in Beijing on July 2. The conference aimed to explore the integrated application pathways of artificial intelligence and space information technology in the power sector. Hosted by the Aerospace Information Technology Subcommittee of the IEEE PES Power System Communication and Cybersecurity Technical Committee (China), the event attracted over a hundred experts and representatives from government departments, grid enterprises, universities, research institutes, and industry organizations.
With the accelerated development of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, large models, and the low-altitude economy, the energy and power industry is facing a critical window for digital and intelligent transformation. The construction of new power systems is advancing in depth, with grid operations characterized by a continuously increasing share of new energy, more complex operational modes, and more frequent impacts from extreme weather. This places higher demands on the grid's capabilities for wide-area perception, intelligent analysis, rapid response, and autonomous decision-making. Participating experts engaged in in-depth discussions on topics including artificial intelligence, remote sensing satellites, low-altitude perception, drone inspections, and intelligent processing of spatial data, exploring development pathways for AI-empowered space information technology to serve the construction of new power systems.
In traditional power grid production and operations, transmission lines often traverse complex environments such as mountainous areas, forests, deserts, and plateaus. Manual inspections have limited efficiency, disaster monitoring coverage is insufficient, and the widespread distribution of new energy stations continuously increases operational management pressure. The integrated application of AI and space information technology enables intelligent processing of massive spatial data, collaborative analysis of multi-source information, and intelligent identification of typical scenarios, driving the grid's perception methods from localized to comprehensive and from manual to intelligent. Multiple experts delivered special presentations on topics such as intelligent analysis of spatiotemporal big data, air-space-ground integrated inspections, dedicated remote sensing satellites for the power sector, and joint air-space emergency assessment for natural disasters, introducing the latest research achievements of artificial intelligence in space information acquisition, data processing, intelligent analysis, and business applications.
Du Wei, Chief Engineer of State Grid Electric Power Space Technology Co., Ltd. and Vice Chair of the IEEE PES Power System Communication and Cybersecurity Technical Committee (China), stated that with the continuous advancement of new power system construction, the integrated innovation of artificial intelligence with space and satellite technology is becoming a key direction for digital transformation. He called for enhanced collaborative innovation among upstream and downstream enterprises, universities, and research institutes, and for deepening the construction of key capabilities such as air-space perception, intelligent processing of spatial data, and platform support. Wu Lin, Deputy Director of the Changping District Government Affairs and Data Bureau, pointed out that Changping District has established a solid foundation in satellite remote sensing monitoring, spatial data resource construction, and scenario application. In the future, it will promote the open sharing of spatial data resources and facilitate the deep integration of artificial intelligence and space technology.
Experts at the conference believe that artificial intelligence can not only improve the efficiency of spatial data processing but also empower business scenarios such as satellite remote sensing, low-altitude perception, and drone inspections. This will promote the transformation of spatial data resources into production factors, forming a closed loop of data perception, intelligent analysis, and business empowerment, thereby providing new momentum for the digital and intelligent development of the power industry. As a significant special event of the Second Digital Ecosystem Conference for the Energy and Power Industry, this academic exchange conference established a platform for collaborative communication among government, enterprises, universities, and research institutes, promoted the deep integration of industry, academia, research, and application, and further consolidated consensus on industry development. In the future, with continuous innovation and breakthroughs in AI and space information technology, it will achieve broader applications in areas such as grid planning and construction, equipment operation and maintenance, disaster prevention and mitigation, and emergency response, providing technical support for the construction of new power systems and the green and low-carbon energy transition.
