Continuation of the Beijing Silicon Valley dialogue "a tale of twins" tradition, from Silicon Valley's top cloud computing experts, cloud computing top companies and China's Internet and cloud computing sector leading enterprises, the man, through technology, innovation, investment, trends and other aspects of the collision, interpretation of the nature of cloud computing, trends, innovation http:// Www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/11270.html "> Entrepreneurial opportunities. At the same time, participants will be 0 distance from China's cloud computing in recent years of development results.

Schneider Electric Global executive vice president and China Regional President Zhu Hai at the 2013 Cloud World Congress to make a keynote speech on how cloud computing has brought about the changes in the energy management industry.

Zhu Hai: Good morning, I work in Schneider Electric. Schneider Electric is a very traditional energy management company. My career started 25 years ago in the IT industry, now in a very traditional industry. Thank the field always give me this opportunity to share with you. I was the only one who spoke this morning from a traditional profession.

I would like to share with you what the cloud has brought to our industry. I also talk about trends.

This is the real trend of our society, we live in the society, with the urbanization, with the improvement of people's living standards, in the next 20-50 years, the consumption of energy increased by one times, you can not not let the vast number of working people to improve living standards, must be more electricity. If we need to maintain the environment, carbon dioxide emissions, greenhouse gas effects, and so on, global carbon dioxide emissions will be reduced by half. The efficiency of our society in the future should be increased by 4.

This is our present society, talking about the biggest trend of the society besides the big data, the efficiency economy will be the main melody of China or the world in the next 10 or 20 years. Efficiency includes three aspects, energy efficiency, we can not use the traditional method of energy, we need more clean energy, need more consideration of the relationship between energy production and land use. We need more distributed networks. Process efficiency, the production of extensive large quantities of consideration to become customized, according to the needs of users to produce. Our social environment, food safety issues, social security issues, environmental security issues, and so on, when it is our future world problems.

Attention to the spirit of China's 18 session of plenary, we recently talked about a few keywords also coincide with this point. That is, we often speak of energy efficiency, often talk about the integration of industrialization and information, we often speak of the beautiful China. Around this topic I would like to share with you some of Schneider, a traditional company, based on the cloud, based on large data, will be the efficiency of the economy in all aspects of the changes.

Because I know, I want to tell five stories and share big data with you in five areas. In the traditional industry, it turns out that the impossible is possible.

First story. This is a small French company, our company employees go out to do business, they do a company called Virtual power generation. In all cities, 10% of the electricity generated in China is only 40 hours a year. Why? Every summer when the peak of the time everyone will be the air conditioner, but when the temperature down after everyone will not open. So 10% of the power generation capacity is for the 40-hour preparation, and can imagine how wasteful the generation. If we can have a software that has a system that is based on large data adjustments and misses spikes, there can be tremendous energy savings and resource savings. Our company is peaking at 1.2 megawatts of electricity a year, equivalent to 95% of the country's peak in France. Electricity is equivalent to a Qinchuan power station, all without coal, no oil, no nuclear power, all using the power of digital computing.

The second story of an Australian building project. If you have any knowledge of the third industrial Revolution, the biggest problem is the democratization of energy, which we may both be the biggest generation equipment and the consumer of energy. In the Australian building, we provide all of the micro-net technology, so that his building is both power generation equipment, but also the use of electricity equipment so that their carbon dioxide emissions have been a large reduction, reduced by 12%, energy consumption reduced 2/3,75%. The rich electricity generated by his electricity can be fed back to buildings, so the future is the era of power democratization. Everyone has not only the right to use electricity, but also to determine the price of electricity, but also to generate electricity. These things are based on large data, cloud-based platforms.

The third story, an example of industry. This is a pipeline that runs 35000 kilometres across Canada. Energy consumption is also very large, can consume 5% to 10%, how to deploy can reduce the pressure of energy transmission, large-scale cost savings. Depending on the weather, how much energy is used, if I can know the usage trends of the client to determine my stress. Because the pipeline itself is a warehouse, we do not think that oil is stored in the tank, the pipeline itself is a warehouse, through different pressure can be adjusted. Meteorological data information on the user's future use of the trend analysis, there are nearly 20,000 users of the analysis of consumer trends, in turn to adjust the overall operation of the pipeline, a year can save 120 million of dollars. This is also the change that big data can bring to our life.

Fourth story, Water story. Water is our scarce resources, we use the tap water 30% is missing, due to the pipeline leakage run waste 30%. In the UK we use tens of thousands of sensors, the water pipe is like this, give the pressure over the big pipe will rupture, if the pressure is too small many people will complain about not using water, or water pressure is not enough. How can make the deployment of network pressure resources, timely detection of all leakage points, this is very important technology. Through the use of this technology, we can prevent the waste of 30% water resources in the city, and in turn, the energy is greatly saved. We have some special functions of valves and sensors to solve this problem, due to the large data, due to the cloud, making this whole city scheduling possible.

Just now I talked about the four practical applications that big data brings to us, and the other story, we provide the data service while providing the solution. So a traditional electric company began to provide data services. We may be one of the largest information providers of weather forecasts in the world, and we have hundreds of meteorological experts in the United States who provide very accurate weather information. Give two examples. The first example, in the United States, has more than 50% of the airport's accurate to the hour of meteorological data is our company to do. Two days ago I was talking to the boss of the airport operations management, and he cited an example that says we have a large number of people working outdoors at the scene. If there is lightning they must go back to safety, if I have accurate forecasts, the lightning will be able to evacuate the first 10 minutes, so the efficiency of the airport can be greatly improved, the delay will be greatly reduced.

In addition, we work with the Environmental Research Institute of the United States to do extreme disaster forecasting, can be accurate to two hours. The largest possible disaster in the smallest range, leaving the United States in the evacuation of disaster personnel, the impact of the evacuation to a minimum. These are the results of the weather, so the data will make a bigger difference to the tradition.

We are the power companies, the cloud is the need for warehouses, that is, the data center, our company is the largest data center refrigeration system, key power systems and the overall low-voltage system suppliers. Because data centers are now the world's largest units of electricity. Today before I came to think of one thing, a lot of people asked me what is cloud, I would like to use a word to explain my understanding of the cloud. Cloud You can say it is air, also can say it is haze, whether you like it, need it, or hate it, in the future life you are inseparable from it. Thank you for your attention.
