中国储能网讯：日前，施耐德电气发布的一份新的调查报告表明，85％的大公司正在考虑通过节能项目来减少能源使用；超过50％的企业计划在不久的将来采用可再生能源。而大多数接受调查的企业都没有考虑如何积极采用对能源行业发展具有颠覆性的技术与措施，如微电网、储能、需求响应策略。
据报道，只有30%的企业已经实施或正在积极计划使用储能部署、微电网、热电联产或者这些技术的组合，只有23%的企业实施了需求响应策略或计划在短期内实施。
施耐德电气的报告中指出这是一个问题，因为这表明企业现在需要了解如何成为积极参与者来降低他们的设施产生的能源消耗。
施耐德电气董事长兼首席执行官Jean-Pascal Tricoire在新闻发布会上说：“我们正处于能源消耗和能源生产方式的重大颠覆性的进程中。企业对环保的普遍关注是积极的。然而，成为一个精明的能源消费者只是企业生存和发展所需要的一部分。企业需要准备成为一个积极的能源参与者，将一些资源和业务投入到能源生产方面，并与电网、公用事业、业界同行以及其他新的市场进入者进行互动。”
而这种进步的一个主要障碍可能是内部一致性。61％的受访者表示，他们组织的能源和可持续发展决策在相关团队和部门之间并没有得到很好的协调，其是在消费品和工业企业中。此外，这些受访者表示，企业之间缺乏合作是一个挑战。
数据管理也是综合能源和碳排放管理的另一个障碍，45％的受访者表示，组织数据是高度分散的，通常只是在地方或区域的层面处理。而有些人认为数据共享和项目评估工具/指标不足，65％的人认为目前管理数据只是在地方、区域或国家层面实施，而没有在全球层面上实施。
这项研究是由GreenBiz Research进行的，旨在确定企业如何制定能源和环境战略，收集和共享数据，以及跨部门协调，也就是施耐德所谓的“主动能源管理”。调查的参与者包括负责能源和可持续性管理的专业人员、高管和董事会成员，此外，还对11个主要领域的230多家公司进行了调查，其中包括消费品、能源/公用事业、金融、工业、医疗、科技等行业领域。（中国储能网独家编译，转载请注明来源）

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.
