Zhang Lei Unveils 'Physical AI' Concept for Future Energy Systems
Jingyuan Executive Proposes Revolutionary AI Approach for Energy Sector
At the "Artificial Intelligence and Future Energy Systems" closed-door conference on October 19, Zhang Lei, Chairman of Envision Group, unveiled the groundbreaking concept of Physical Artificial Intelligence (PAI). This paradigm shift positions AI as an autonomous decision-maker rather than just an analytical tool in energy management.
From Automation to Autonomy
Zhang highlighted AI's fundamental difference from previous technological revolutions: "Unlike passive tools, modern AI possesses self-perception and decision-making capabilities. We're witnessing its evolution from automation to genuine autonomy." He likened AI development to nurturing a child, stressing that human-machine collaboration will unlock unprecedented possibilities.
Addressing Renewable Energy Challenges
The executive identified critical pain points:
- Rising renewable energy adoption increases grid complexity
- Market volatility creates operational uncertainty
- Traditional management models struggle with real-time optimization
"Ironically," Zhang noted, "these challenges create ideal conditions for AI implementation. Its parallel computing capability can process massive datasets instantly, identifying patterns invisible to conventional systems."
Core Principles of Physical AI
The PAI framework emphasizes:
- Integration of physical laws with machine learning models
- Strict adherence to system safety boundaries
- Causal relationship modeling beyond correlation analysis
- Real-world operational reliability guarantees
"China's abundant application scenarios and data resources position us for global leadership," Zhang asserted.
Technical Breakthroughs
Envision has made significant progress with:
- Tianji: A weather prediction model improving renewable energy forecasting accuracy by 40%
- Tianshu: An energy optimization system enabling real-time grid control and trading efficiency These innovations demonstrate PAI's practical value in balancing green energy integration with grid stability.
Redefining Industry Competition
Zhang predicts a radical shift: "Future energy companies will compete on AI asset scale rather than physical infrastructure. Value creation moves from capital-intensive plants to technology-driven intelligence."
The transformation carries implications:
- Long-term investments needed in data infrastructure
- Algorithm development becomes core competency
- Scenario-specific applications determine market advantage However, experts caution that physical assets remain essential—AI serves as an enhancer rather than replacement.
Implementation Challenges
Key technical hurdles include:
- Embedding multidisciplinary physics constraints (electromagnetism, thermodynamics)
- Ensuring model interpretability for critical decisions
- Maintaining real-time performance at scale Safety remains paramount—unlike consumer applications, energy system errors carry societal consequences.
The industry must establish:
- Regulatory frameworks for AI-assisted operations
- Clear accountability mechanisms
