Research on the international intelligent operation model of “digitalization + greening” dual-track collaboration of industrial electrical enterprises under intelligent drive
This research outlines an intelligent operation model for international industrial electrical enterprises, integrating digitalization and greening. It establishes a four-level data and carbon accounting system adhering to GHG Protocol/ISO standards, implements multi-objective optimization (cost, energy, carbon intensity, delivery) using MILP/MPC/RL, and utilizes digital twins for verification. The model supports cross-border traceability and compliance (CBAM/ETS) with quasi-experimental methods (A/B testing, DiD/PSM). Results show significant reductions in energy consumption and carbon emissions across multiple factories while maintaining cost control, demonstrating its replicability.

Successful Implementation: Peak-shift DR + MPC
Summary: An A/B testing experiment demonstrated the effectiveness of Peak-shift Demand Response combined with Model Predictive Control in Line A.
Problem: High energy costs during peak hours and volatile carbon prices impacted profitability and compliance.
Solution: Implemented a combined strategy of Peak-shift DR to optimize energy consumption patterns and MPC for real-time load adjustments based on market prices and carbon intensity.
Outcome: Achieved a 0.62 kWh/unit reduction and 0.31 kg CO2e/unit reduction, leading to a 0.18 USD/unit cost reduction. The P-value of 0.011 confirmed statistical significance, leading to a 'Scale-up' decision for broader deployment. This significantly improved operational efficiency and reduced carbon footprint while maintaining profitability.

Your AI Implementation Roadmap
A phased approach to integrate intelligent operations, digitalization, and greening for sustainable growth.
Phase 1: Data Foundation & Carbon Accounting Setup
Establish a four-level data system (edge, workshop, factory, group), implement GHG Protocol/ISO 14064/14067 for Scope 1/2/3 accounting, and integrate data collection protocols (OPC UA/Modbus/IEC 61850/MQTT).
Phase 2: Multi-Objective Optimization & Control
Develop and deploy MILP/MPC/RL models for simultaneous optimization of cost, energy consumption, carbon intensity, and delivery. Integrate with digital twin environments for verification and rapid iteration.
Phase 3: Cross-Border Traceability & Compliance
Implement 'Batch/Serial ID - Evidence - Factors/Rules' framework for end-to-end supply chain traceability. Set up CBAM/ETS declaration and risk quantification mechanisms, ensuring compliance across multiple jurisdictions.
Phase 4: Governance & Continuous Improvement
Establish a closed-loop governance structure with unified indicators, algorithms, processes, and responsibilities. Implement A/B testing and causal inference for ongoing performance evaluation and progressive rollout of validated strategies.
