ABB Xiamen Demonstration Base implements the “Zero Emission Vision” project, with an estimated annual reduction of 13400 tons of carbon emissions

Adopting a new intelligent solution that supports new energy access, achieving clean energy substitution of 50% electricity in the park and saving costs

ABB Xiamen Industrial Center “carbon neutrality” Park Demonstration Base Project is a demonstration model for low-carbon transformation of enterprises

Recently, ABB Xiamen Industrial Center has taken a key step towards high-quality development, becoming a “carbon neutrality” park and a demonstration base for sustainable intelligent manufacturing, and promoting China’s green and low-carbon transformation. This project adopts an innovative energy regulation system, integrating the application of new energy generation and energy storage systems, significantly reducing carbon emissions and improving energy efficiency, and creating a replicable and scalable low-carbon blueprint.

China strives to reach the peak of carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060. At present, China accounts for more than 28% of the total global manufacturing volume. 1 In order to achieve the goal of carbon neutrality, the low-carbon transformation of China’s manufacturing industry is crucial.

ABB Xiamen Industrial Center, covering an area of 425000 square meters and employing 3000 people, is expected to reduce carbon emissions by 13400 tons per year by implementing ABB’s global “Zero Emissions Vision Plan”. This project will provide a good demonstration role for global customers and partners, clearly demonstrating how ABB’s intelligent digital technology can turn the vision of decarbonization and emission reduction (indirect electricity emissions) into reality.

ABB Xiamen Industrial Center has advanced production lines for medium and low voltage switchgear and circuit breakers, achieving 50% green power substitution through the installation of 100000 square meters of rooftop photovoltaics. By utilizing multi strategy precise and flexible regulation technology, we aim to achieve greater local consumption of clean energy and improve energy efficiency through the synergy of source load storage. This smart energy solution is equipped with AI algorithms for power generation and load forecasting, which predict the situation of power generation and consumption, deploy control strategies, and achieve a balance between low-carbon electricity consumption and economic efficiency.

Project Deployment ABB Capability ™ The ZEE600 smart energy management platform precisely regulates the “source network load storage” of the park. This platform is connected to energy facilities such as photovoltaic, energy storage, distribution, HVAC, lighting, and charging stations, achieving optimized energy management for the entire park. Among them, the eStorage smart energy storage cabin solution covers power distribution and control equipment, and effectively balances photovoltaic fluctuations and improves local photovoltaic consumption rate through regulation and management with the smart energy management system ZEE600; The constructed DC microgrid provides an effective demonstration for the widespread application of optical storage direct flexible technology.

The power system of ABB Xiamen Industrial Center is connected to the virtual power plant platform of State Grid Xiamen Power Supply Company, forming a “source load interaction” through the demand side response of independent regulation of the energy management system, effectively supporting the construction of a new power system.

Distributed rooftop photovoltaic distribution modules, smart energy storage modules, orderly charging management of building loads and charging piles are all modular solutions. This makes ABB Xiamen Industrial Center’s solution easy to replicate on other sites, reducing installation time and project complexity. These packaged solutions and medium and low voltage distribution equipment are all locally produced in China.

Zhao Yongzhan, president of ABB Electric China, said that the ABB Xiamen Industrial Center “carbon neutrality” Park Demonstration Base Project is a demonstration model for enterprises’ low-carbon transformation, and its scope and implementation path can provide effective demonstration value for enterprises’ rapid low-carbon transformation. Through the widespread application of ABB’s innovative technology, we have demonstrated how to accelerate the decarbonization process. At the same time, the demonstration base also showcases to customers and partners how intelligent technology can empower the realization of the ambitious goal of low-carbon development in the current era.

Whether in China or around the world, ABB actively participates in the construction of major projects and critical infrastructure, especially the products manufactured by ABB in Xiamen have been successfully applied in projects such as Chengdu Tianfu International Airport, Beijing Shanghai High Speed Railway, Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao Bridge, and data centers of many leading internet companies.

Following other places in China, Italy, Finland, Germany and the Netherlands, ABB Xiamen Industrial Center has also joined the journey of “moving towards carbon neutrality”.
