The first one, which I think should be the least controversial, is artificial intelligence. In fact, I have also roughly searched the annual keyword list made by several major scientific and technological media in recent years. It seems that since Argo defeated Li Shishi in 20 16, artificial intelligence has been firmly occupying the annual list, but in contrast, this year we really want to give a talk about artificial intelligence. Representative explosive news seems a bit difficult, perhaps because everyone has gradually adapted to the new era of AI plus everything, but is there really no breakthrough in artificial intelligence this year? Actually, it's not. It can be said that there are still many highlights. I remember that in June 5438+10, the CCTV documentary "Innovative China" was launched. This incident really shocked me, mainly because of this step. Documentary dubbing is a familiar but incredible voice, because he used the voice of Yi Lee, a famous announcer and dubbing actor, who died on 20 13. Although it seems that AI voice broadcasting is nothing new now, this time Li Yong's dubbing with artificial intelligence simulation can be said to be sincere, and most of the pauses are very accurate.
At that time, I actually discussed it with experts in artificial intelligence. Their view is that, on the one hand, Yi Lee left a lot of sound materials for machine learning before his death, and on the other hand, the artificial intelligence technology related to speech has made rapid progress in the past two years. What surprised me even more was the AI synthetic anchor shown by Xinhua News Agency in June 5438+065438+ 10, which played the video by extracting the live anchor. Voice, lip shape, expression, movement and other characteristics. All of them are synthesized by voice, lip shape and expression, and combined with modeling training through deep learning and other technologies. Although it seems that he still has many awkward and unnatural places, if you think about the iteration and progress speed of similar technologies in recent years, you can almost make such a judgment directly, if you and I are peers. All you do is convert words into sounds, so except for the top few, most of the work in this industry may directly face the risk of being replaced by AI, that is, in the industrial field, artificial intelligence also shows more and more powerful capabilities. From the point of view of data collection, a gas turbine can generate 25GB of data every day, and a smart grid platform can generate 30g of data every day.
A traffic management system, the daily data volume will be as high as 6t. You know, the data in the industrial field is actually very complicated. Most enterprises often obtain these data by monitoring the operation of some equipment. And many companies go further, mining value from the perspective of data analysis, such as using big data analysis to achieve predictive maintenance. For example, Siemens helped 26 cracks from Madrid to Barcelona and built a high-speed railway. The punctuality rate has increased to 99.9%. Such a high punctuality rate also enables high-speed rail operators to provide customers with a unique late refund policy. If the train is delayed 15 minutes or more, passengers can get a full refund. This was almost unimaginable before. To some extent, what Siemens has done is actually to issue enough fines in the industrial field. In the fields of energy manufacturing and transportation, Siemens has artificial intelligence solutions. With the support of Jiangsu Science and Technology Department and Suzhou Industrial Park, Siemens is carrying out big data analysis of CNC machine tools, which is divided into three aspects: predictive maintenance, CNC machine tool diagnosis and CNC machine tool production optimization. Of course, AI has attracted more and more attention in 20 18.
However, tt's love is an industrial media matter. Oncologists feel that AI has made great achievements in the field of medical imaging, and biologists are shocked. In the task of predicting the three-dimensional structure of protein, Shen Mao's F defeated the human elite, sports enthusiasts and bystanders with overwhelming advantages. The parkour and dexterity displayed by Boston power robot idea, and the industrial workers are amazed at the intelligence and efficiency of Siemens Amberg factory. Taxi drivers are worried about driverless driving, which is developing rapidly. Even restaurants and hotel waiters are paying attention to unmanned restaurants. It seems that all walks of life are beginning to realize that the era of artificial intelligence, which once only appeared in science fiction, is surging in, and changes are now taking place, whether we are really ready or not. In May, my World Artificial Intelligence Conference was held in Shanghai. What impressed me the most was not the so-called black technology displayed on the spot, but the sentence "Empowering artificial intelligence, the theme of the new era, empowering" was used very well in my opinion. In the foreseeable future, this negative energy may be everywhere, and all walks of life will inevitably be infiltrated, changed and reshaped, but only catered to.
After the pain, artificial intelligence, like the Internet and computer technology of that year, will inevitably disappear in the attention of ordinary people. At that time, we will not marvel at its magic, but regard it as a basic but indispensable tool to liberate our brains, or let our own intelligence gallop more freely with it. Well, at the end of 20 17, bitcoin was once fired to sky-high prices, followed by the beginning of 20 18. There is a concept that even overshadows artificial intelligence. It is estimated that you are also impressed, and that is the blockchain. Until now, I can still recall that famous saying in my ear. After missing the Internet, do you still want to miss the blockchain? When did the blockchain raise chickens? The socialization of blockchain insurance is endless. It seems that everything can become a blockchain, and some people even laugh at it. Now even the cleaning aunt can talk a few words to concentrate on decentralized bookkeeping. Of course, there must be a bubble behind such a carnival. In the second half of the year, the blockchain seems to have faded out of people's horizons. By the end of 20 18, after the tide receded, we can't help but ask, what is left in the blockchain?
In my opinion, what he left behind is to make the virtual closer to reality. How to understand it? Originally, information always gives people the feeling that it is not credible. After all, what code does can be changed in theory, even without leaving a trace. Even in reality, the origin of the apple, how long it has been in the warehouse, or where this person graduated, what kind of past it is, and so on, all exist and are forged. Maybe, but the demand for express delivery does solve a big problem about trust for us. As a decentralized and distributed storage technology, it not only makes virtual currency impossible to forge, but also provides relatively perfect solutions in many scenarios such as food traceability and social interaction, which can make information as credible as the so-called material entity for the first time. To some extent, it can even be said to be more credible. Of course, at present, when express delivery is really applied to actual scenes, it still faces many difficulties. After all, everything he can trust is based on the premise that these transaction data are stored in the storage space of each user participating in the blockchain, which is not a big problem in a small scope, but once the layout data in a large range changes and.
Expansion, which not only tests the limit of storage devices, but is actually limited by the network bandwidth itself. At the same time, there is an increasingly formed Internet of Things, which is what we often call ot. This field has also been repeatedly mentioned in the blockchain boom at the beginning of the year. At that time, we were discussing the blockchain plus the Internet of Things, which was also regarded as solving the security risks of the Internet of Things. In terms of measurement, the Internet of Things itself has made rapid progress in the past year. We can see that more and more people use smart electronic scales, smart desk lamps, smart switches and smart plugs. All of them are called smart devices, not to mention its increasing popularity in urban construction, industrial logistics, retail and other fields. In fact, in the more conservative oil and gas industry, the Internet of Things is also emerging, as we all know. The purpose of Industry 4.0 is to inject digitalization into industry. In fact, the oil and gas industry is also welcoming the so-called oil and gas 4.0. Oil and gas companies are trying to tap the potential value of big data, hoping to shorten the project cycle, reduce costs and improve the efficiency and safety of production and operation and maintenance by using digital technology. At the same time, it can also provide reliable basis for operation and management decision-making for upstream exploration and development and midstream transportation of oil and gas.
The molecular formula puts forward the concepts of 4.0 and plus4.0 respectively. Through the concept and technology of digital twins, Siemens' secure digital solution covering the whole life cycle can realize intelligent applications such as integrated design of oil platforms and pipelines, virtual debugging, virtual personnel training, operation optimization equipment, remote monitoring and diagnosis. Well, if the blockchain has party spirit. That is, the networking of physical products, in my opinion, is to do real information, and the 5g concept that has been preheated for several years is more like a highway that crosses the resource barrier between virtual and reality. This year, the three major communication operators have conducted field tests in several cities, and just this month, the three major operators even issued an announcement, saying that they have received the notice from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology about the allocation and use of 5g frequencies, but they are all in fact. Remind us that the fifth episode is really not far away. To tell the truth, the second keyword, in fact, I have been struggling for a long time, because both the blockchain Internet of Things mentioned above and the fifth episode seem to be eligible for the list, but when I think about it carefully, it seems a bit boring, either cooling too fast, lacking explosions, or still ready to go. However, behind these three technologies,
* * * With the brewing, the future is very clear. With the Internet of Everything, 20 18, I think it can be counted as the year of saving electricity in the era of the Internet of Everything. There is still a quiet boundary between the virtual and the reality, which is becoming more and more blurred. As it happens, A Tong's first keyword is artificial intelligence. Let's make the format of these four words neat. Everything is connected. This is OK. The Internet of Things and 5g are the key words of the second annual science and technology of 20 18. Perhaps you have noticed that when talking about artificial intelligence, I mentioned driverless driving, which is a hot technology in recent years. Originally, I wanted to give this third keyword to driverless or autonomous driving. After all, it is in the annual science and technology news. The word husband is really mentioned at a high rate. I remember that in early February, Google suddenly announced that it would launch a driverless taxi service in 20 18. At that time, when the news came out, both inside and outside the industry exploded, and the debate about whether driverless driving was safe was actually very hot. Of course, it doesn't seem to stop. The unmanned wheel rolls forward. In April, with the intelligent networked automobile road test management,
The release of the standard trial and the autopilot test in China have also completely opened up the situation, and the global competition of driverless autopilot technology is still fierce. In the field of autonomous driving technology, there is an l5 grading standard. The larger the number, the higher the degree of automation. Now everyone may be exposed to technologies between l2 and 23, which shows that there is a certain degree. With the intervention of AI, lane change, overtaking and other operations can be completed under certain conditions. But he still asked the driver to be ready to take over the work at any time. I remember that at the beginning of the year, in the automobile market, in fact, no car company installed an automatic driving system that can reach level 4 on the production models, which means that under special terrain or road conditions, it can completely get rid of the dark human control and be independent. It is the level of automatic driving to complete the operation of the vehicle, but the interaction between the driver and the vehicle is limited to ah. In this different area, or this temporary replacement when the road conditions change, once the vehicle enters the qualified environment, it can continue to drive automatically. It is particularly noteworthy that in 20 18, in fact, many car companies have announced the launch of four series of self-driving cars, some of which are being tested.
Yes, there will be research and development. For example, in July, Baidu announced that it would jointly launch four series of mass-produced self-driving buses with Jinlong Bus. In June of 5438+00, Huawei and Audi announced that they would jointly develop a four-level autopilot. Anyway, this year's self-driving technology is struggling towards the 4G era. The previous one has been sold, and I didn't let it go. The third key word this year is driverless or autonomous driving for a reason, because many strange forms of transportation are frequently mentioned this year, such as various forms of flying cars. What impressed me more was the combination of automobile and fixed-wing aircraft. Mr. Chun also has a super manned version of the drone similar to the PLA. These two so-called cars are not just concepts. The former is said to have been opened for booking, and the latter has also ended the secret testing stage and officially showed it to the public. According to the given or predicted price, such equipment can be controlled at the level of a mid-range SUV after mass production, which means that in the near future, if you want to drive your own flying car into the sky, the price is not the main factor, but the supporting policy.
An interesting detail is that many sci-fi movies or TV series released this year seem to have such flying cars, and there are many suspense about the idea of future urban transportation. To be honest, drones also include super high-speed trains that were very popular some time ago, although no one can assert that these futuristic modes of transportation are far from really entering our lives. However, compared with the past, they only exist in science fiction. In 20 18 years, they have become models, started testing and even approached mass production. This day seems to imply that perhaps within ten years, the transportation mode we are familiar with now will undergo earth-shaking changes. At that time, the concept of time and space on the earth may change. It's been subverted again. So the third keyword of 20 18, I think, belongs to the words "future traffic".
The typhoon Magic Capital Enchantment, which has been talked about by Magic Capital people, seems to be very useless this year. Shanghai became the first city in China where three typhoons landed in 30 days. It was supposed to be crisp in autumn, and on June 5438+0 1, people caught in smog and hot English were not in the mood. By February 1, they were even more depressed, and it rained almost half continuously. After this cooling into winter, there was a lot of snow directly, and many friends around me were wondering, but is this weather still the familiar Shanghai? Not only Shanghai, but also the whole world, climate anomalies seem to be an important news element throughout the year of 20 18. Whether in Asia, Europe, Africa or North America, many places have experienced unusually high temperatures this summer. China, Japanese, Vietnamese, Lao, Indian, etc. Also experienced floods because of heavy rains. Australia in the southern hemisphere experienced a once-in-a-century drought, which impressed everyone some time ago. California experienced the worst mountain fire in history. Gradually, we seem to have a cognition that abnormal weather is normal, although it is difficult for us to attribute a single extreme weather event to people.
It will cause climate change, but in fact, many previous scientific studies have concluded that the probability of extreme weather events is directly or indirectly related to human activities. According to the statistics of the World Meteorological Organization, from 20 1 1 to 20 16, in the study of 13 1 published in the bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, 65% found extreme weather events. The probability of some extremely hot weather has increased by more than ten times. Technology, then, following the 20 13 Ten Atmospheric Articles, this year, the State Council announced a three-year action plan to win the blue sky defense war. As a big coal consuming country, the transformation of energy industry is actually very important to win this blue sky defense war. For example, Guangdong explicitly proposes to optimize and integrate coal-fired power plants and promote coal-fired power plants that have expired for a long time and are located in urban built-up areas.
Integrate the plan to shut down Guangzhou power plant before the end of 20 18, but it sounds very simple to eliminate coal-fired power plants, but how to fill the power gap caused by this? This kind of petrochemical and efficient gas power generation is very important. For example, in Zengcheng, Guangzhou, a large gas-fired combined cooling, heating and power supply plant is expected to be put into operation at the end of 20 19. Chenggong project introduced two sets of generator sets, including two Siemens ct587h heavy gas turbines. The principle and operation of gas turbine are dying. After the lamp is ignited, the air in the lamp is heated and the airflow rises, which will push the impeller to rotate. The hot exhaust gas of the gas turbine is not discharged into the environment without being used, but enters the waste heat boiler and is generated by the downstream steam turbine. Thereby greatly improving the power generation efficiency. Siemens H-class gas turbine is one of the most efficient and powerful gas turbines put into commercial operation at present. It is widely used in cogeneration power plants and can be said to be one of the most efficient ways to convert fuel into usable energy. Using such a gas turbine combined cycle unit can meet the domestic demand of a city with a population of 3 million.
There is demand, so in addition to centralized power generation, distributed energy can also be said to have unlimited potential. In August this year, two Siemens gas-steam combined cycle units passed successfully in Kunshan, Jiangsu Province, and were put into trial operation at full load for 96 hours, which also means that the first regional natural gas distributed energy project in Jiangsu Province was fully completed, which can not only provide clean power for the power grid after put into production. Providing industrial steam load can also provide air conditioning load for surrounding public, commercial places and residents, and build a green and low-carbon sustainable development city. Although I said that I gave the fourth key word of 20 18 to climate anomaly, in my heart, I actually expect that climate anomaly can cause environmental pollution, and people can pay attention to environmental problems in the future. The road to high-tech transformation in the energy industry is smoother.
Kathy, you have fallen. Saturn is such an important moment for exploration. This year's space exploration seems to be a little less explosive. The only thing that can be called a global onlookers is the day show that let the sports car fly to Mars at the beginning of the year, the first flight of the Falcon heavy rocket, but it really needs to be carefully coiled. There are many commendable detectors launched this year, and Insight in May. The Mars lander set out and successfully landed on Mars at the end of last month. For the first time, human beings directly explored the internal structure of Mars. In June, the Japanese Hayabusa 2 asteroid probe was able to fly to the asteroid Dragon Palace, and successfully dropped into the lander nest in June+10, 5438. By the end of 2020, only the samples collected on Asteroid 2 will be sent back to Earth. An asteroid-focused probe, Osiris in Lhasa, arrived at the asteroid in early February of 65438+ and was brought back by women in 2023. He will also bring back samples of the probability of hitting the earth more than 200 years later from this asteroid. On August 12, Parker probe set off for the sun.
The sun or kiss the sun, because it will pass through the sun's outer atmosphere, which is the ultimate goal of what we call corona park. It is close to less than 6 million kilometers from the surface of the sun. On June+10/October 19, 65438, the xm probe jointly developed by Europe and Japan was successfully launched, and the long journey of Mercury into space began. If all goes well, by 2025, they will be sent back to history. Not long ago, on February 8, 65438, China's Chang 'e-4 lunar probe was successfully launched, and it was also the first soft landing on the back of the moon in human history under the bridge of delicate magpie bridge and relay star. It can be said that in 20 18, the pace of human space exploration has not slowed down. Mars, mercury, asteroids, the surface of the sun, the moon and the back, and the purpose. However, it is more and more diversified and its tasks are more and more complicated, which just reflects the space exploration. It seems that today has changed from a punching tour to a deep tour. There is one key word left. I think it's better to have a larger pattern. This year marks the fifth anniversary of the Belt and Road Initiative, as well as reform and opening up.
It's the 40th anniversary, and we can have such a beautiful and happy life today. In fact, we cannot do without the Belt and Road Initiative and reform and opening up. The concept of global cooperation behind it, although there have been many unpleasant disputes that seem to run counter to these four words this year, we should also see that cooperation and opening up is still the mainstream and opportunity in the future, both for China and the world. Those high-sounding words are actually not what I am good at expressing. The magnificent and thrilling behind it, I believe everyone has a deep understanding this year. Let's just say I'm impressed. I remember that at this year's world internet conference, the former Pakistani Prime Minister was a reminiscence of the past. Gwadar Port, not far from the Gulf region, was once a small fishing village in Pakistan. In just two years, it became an important port, which was only level 8 at that time. There has never been an asset in history. This Gwadar port is the mouth of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor. Here is a background knowledge. At present, it includes six economic corridors, of which the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor is the most successful and can be regarded as a flagship project. For Pakistan, which is rich in the east and poor in the west, it would be right if the westernmost port of this country developed into a Pakistani version of Shenzhen.
How good is it to balance their domestic development? Needless to say, after the infrastructure is completed, this port with excellent location advantage has a strong attraction for global investment. In addition to the construction of Gwadar Port, the focus of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor is also transportation and electricity, which is also a great opportunity for our Pakistani enterprises, in the relatively rich northeast of Pakistan. No, there is a Punjab province with a population of half of the country and an economic contribution rate of over 60%. There, power upgrading is an important issue they are facing. Among them, our enterprises in China firmly seized the opportunity. China Machinery and Equipment Engineering Co., Ltd. provided the power island equipment you referred to for Jiheng combined cycle power plant of Pakistani Punjab Thermal Power Co., Ltd., and in this project, there are two st 58 thousand hk gas turbines and one st5000 steam turbine provided by Siemens, two sets of tm waste heat boilers, transformers and switch station systems, and the whole plant control system and related auxiliary systems. Don't underestimate this project, even if it is put into China, it is a behemoth, and the total installed capacity has reached 1000.
263 MW, after it is completed and put into operation in 20 19 years, it can generate more than1260,000 kwh per hour, which is only equivalent to the total electricity consumption of nearly 4 million households in Pakistan. They will also become the largest gas-fired power plants in Pakistan, which can effectively alleviate the long-term power supply shortage in Pakistan. This project is also undertaken by China Mechanical Equipment Engineering Co., Ltd. There is an H-class gas turbine power station project. For Siemens, this is the first time that its H-class gas turbine has entered the Pakistani market. As for the benefits of H-class gas turbines, I don't need to go into details here. We mentioned it when we talked about the Zengcheng project in Guangzhou. Have you noticed? Such cooperation can be said to be global, whether for Pakistani or China, whether for local enterprises or international enterprises in China. Cooperation has brought tangible benefits. If such examples are really written down one by one, I am afraid it will take another whole year to finish. I was just going to take a quick inventory and review with you for another 20 minutes. Who would have thought that once I started, I found that there were so many things worth saying this year that I couldn't cover everything.
Is this really a family statement? Please forgive me if it is biased. In fact, I also expect you to leave a message in the comment area and talk about your 20 18 technology keywords. Only when you add your supplements can you be considered a complete inventory. Happy new year!
