“Low-carbon economy” is more and more accepted by people. If we want to achieve the goal of energy conservation and emission reduction, we must conduct accurate energy collection, measurement and real-time monitoring, analysis, and load control, this requires that the instrument, especially the electric energy measuring instrument and the electric power automatic management system products have the high intelligence, the network, the strong reliability characteristic.

        As an economic model based on low energy consumption, low pollution and low emissions, the concept of“Low-carbon economy” has been recognized as a sustainable development model since it was first proposed in 2003, and is regarded as the human society after the agricultural civilization, industrial civilization, another major progress. “Low-carbon economy” refers to reducing the consumption of high-carbon energy such as coal and oil as much as possible by means of technological progress, new energy development, industrial transformation and institutional innovation under the guidance of the concept of sustainable development, to limit the emission of greenhouse gases, to achieve economic and social development and ecological and environmental protection of a win-win model of economic development. Its essence is energy efficient use, clean energy development, the pursuit of green GDP, the core is energy technology and emission reduction technology innovation, industrial structure and institutional innovation and the fundamental transformation of the concept of human survival and development.

        The first low-carbon Forum of the world expo issued a“Low-carbon action” initiative, as the“Low-carbon Expo” in front of the world wonderful, low-carbon, environmental protection and other ideas are more and more respected. The tide of global low-carbon comes quickly, low-carbon economy becomes a hot issue, should be said to be expected things. The comprehensive force of internal and external factors is pushing our country towards the era of low-carbon economy.

        Energy-saving, emission reduction and low-carbon economy has become a long-term trend, which has also driven a number of high-speed development of new industries. For example, wind power, nuclear power, smart grid, high-speed trains and rail transit, these industries have put forward new requirements for instrumentation.

        If we want to achieve the goal of energy conservation and emission reduction, we must carry out accurate energy collection, measurement, real-time monitoring and analysis, and load control, this requires that the instrument, especially the electric energy measuring instrument and the electric power automatic management system products have the high intelligence, the network, the strong reliability characteristic.

        Although the products of many instrument suppliers can not directly produce low-carbon benefits, the suppliers themselves can provide advanced instruments to improve the production efficiency of users, improve product quality, and monitor emissions, contribute to a low-carbon economy.

        Our country instrument industry is still in the stage of weak overall strength, we should pay attention to the promotion of scientific and technological content of products. One of the most important directions is product intelligence. Intelligent industry is not only a low-carbon economy, but also has advanced technology, in line with the current direction of overall economic development. However, our country intelligentized domain weakest, most needs to develop precisely is the instrument, the instrument, the sensor and so on foundation industry. The advance of intelligent industry depends on the progress of basic industry such as production instrument and instrument. Therefore, the instrument industry should seize the current opportunity to develop new instrument products.
