As one steps into the bustling textile dyeing workshop, the heat emanating from the high-temperature dye vats is palpableSince 2022, a Zhejiang-based textile company has embarked on a collaboration with New Oriental Energy Holdings Limited to undertake significant energy-saving renovationsThis partnership has resulted in a remarkable increase in the heating efficiency of gas-powered systems, achieving energy savings of over 25% and reducing energy costs by more than 15%. Additionally, these dye vats have been outfitted with technology that allows for real-time changes in their heating methods based on external conditions and internal requirements, thereby enhancing the stability of production.

At the core of the dyeing industry’s energy consumption is high-temperature steam, which poses substantial challenges regarding energy use and carbon emissionsThe solution lies in the innovative energy and carbon management system, known as the Integrated Carbon Intelligence Control Device, developed by New Oriental Energy

This device merges energy and intelligent technology to address three significant pain points in the dyeing sector: the difficulty in reducing energy consumption, the challenges in maintaining quality control, and the struggles to increase salesBy employing sophisticated algorithms along with a micro gas turbine and the dye vat's closed-loop system, the device enables precise temperature control that ensures a seamless match between energy supply and dyeing processes.

Moreover, the Integrated Carbon Intelligence Control Device is equipped with carbon emission factors from various industries, allowing for automatic calculations of the carbon footprint throughout the production processIt can generate intelligent carbon footprint analysis reports and provide tailored carbon reduction plans based on emissions levels, thus supporting ongoing reductions in product carbon intensityFollowing the implementation of this technology, the dyeing factory has achieved a combination of low production energy consumption, optimal temperature alignment, improved economic benefits, high quality rates, and reduced levels of carbon emissions.

As New Oriental Energy evolved from its roots in traditional urban natural gas services over the past three decades, it now boasts a robust user base spread across more than 100 cities in China

With the increasing demand from factories, buildings, and industrial parks for clean energy, the company has made early strides in transitioning its business model towards comprehensive energy managementTheir offerings now encompass a variety of energy types, including cooling, heating, electricity, and gas.

The evolution of the energy sector is further hindered by the resource-intensive and capital-heavy nature of traditional production and consumption modelsAs centralized production becomes more prevalent and fixed asset investments accumulate, the traditional energy paradigm struggles to align with carbon neutrality goals that prioritize the development of a new energy systemNew Oriental Energy is actively exploring how to leverage smart technologies to facilitate this transition.

The introduction of "dual carbon" targets alongside advancements in intelligent technology has paved the way for a new energy revolution

New Oriental Energy has established a data-driven cognitive platform for energy and carbon professional capabilities—Pangeng NetworkThis platform employs Internet of Things (IoT), big data, and artificial intelligence to connect the demand and supply sides of the energy-carbon industry, providing businesses with integrated smart products and comprehensive energy solutions across all scenarios.

With the continuous development of technology such as the Internet and artificial intelligence, there are opportunities to make the energy sector more efficient and intelligent, thus paving new pathways for energy transitionBy facilitating the flow of data among all segments of the energy value chain, improvements in production, distribution, and consumption can be achieved, ultimately propelling the achievement of carbon neutrality goalsAccording to Cheng Lu, vice president of New Oriental Energy and president of Pangeng Network, "The digital transformation of the energy sector is an inevitable trend, with the core of digitization lying in the use of AI technology to enhance energy usage efficiency and intelligence."

Cheng Lu asserts, "The automated driving of energy systems is the future direction of development." He likens the ideal energy system to that of an intelligent vehicle, capable of convenient interaction, automatic recognition of environmental or route changes, and the ability to autonomously seek the most effective solutions.

To realize this ambition, New Oriental Energy has been innovating and developing the "automatic driving core" of modern energy systems, known as the Universal Energy Simulation SystemUnlike traditional energy technologies that rely solely on mechanistic models coupled with big data analysis for localized optimizations, this new simulation system can rapidly, easily, and simply generate complete suites of solutionsFurthermore, it can dynamically recognize changes in resource conditions and user demands, adjusting the operation of the equipment to return to its optimal state, thereby ensuring the safe and efficient operation of the energy system.

Cheng Lu emphasizes the transformative potential of the energy system's "automated driving system," stating that it will create new market value in the age of AI, driving the entire industry toward transformation and upgrading
