With the blessing of China’s dual-carbon strategy, we are expected to take the lead in achieving industrial energy replacement in the world and provide a strong guarantee for the sustainable development of industry
ABB Electric Smart Power Asia regional head Shi Shijie delivered the opening speech
As a major energy consumer, industry plays a crucial role in the construction of a new energy system
The National Development and Reform Commission mentioned in the “14th Five-Year Plan” report: accelerate the clean replacement of fuel and raw materials, and actively promote the replacement of clean and low-carbon energy and industrial waste heat. During ABB Electrical Innovation Week 2024, ABB held a green industry forum with the theme of “Smart Power Distribution Empowering Industrial Energy substitution”. Around the core topic of “Opportunities and challenges of industrial energy substitution”, industry experts were invited to discuss industry trends, smart energy optimization and other solutions, and jointly describe the drive of dual-carbon goals. How the energy system can accelerate the transformation of the industrial sector to clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient.

Sergio Silvestri, head of ABB Electric Smart Power Asia, pointed out that China is at the world’s leading level in power industry technology, and at the same time, the largest new energy industry also provides important support for China’s industrial energy replacement. With the blessing of China’s dual-carbon strategy, we are expected to take the lead in achieving industrial energy replacement in the world and provide a strong guarantee for the sustainable development of industry.

The key to industrial energy replacement is clean energy based re-electrification, specifically in the two aspects of clean energy and re-electrification, the use of clean energy, reduce carbon emissions, reduce the impact of energy use on the environment, and create the basis for re-electrification. Re-electrification replaces heat, power and electrochemistry with electricity, and replaces steam drive with electricity. In the process of this series of changes, a large number of opportunities and challenges have been spawned.

ABB is committed to smart energy optimization to help industrial energy replacement, help customers solve the new energy access of industrial energy replacement, facilitate the better use of new energy, improve the effective consumption of new energy, and build an industrial park integrating source network load and storage wisdom through ABB smart energy solutions. Establish a precedent for the planned optimization of energy use based on algorithms, build a demand-side response, and build the cornerstone of a new energy system; In order to solve the large number of harmonics generated in the production process of new energy, ABB adds security to the stable use of energy for industrial customers through AVC and SmartPQS, helping the smooth implementation of industrial energy replacement. For unstable power supply in the early stage of energy replacement, ABB TruOne dual power automatic changeover switch and SUE3000 fast power changeover device ensure seamless switching of industrial production at different voltage levels; ABB Electric Services relies on digital technology to provide users with asset lifecycle management, intelligent and efficient operation and maintenance management, and achieve predictable and sustainable power distribution systems.

ABB Xiamen Industrial Center “Zero Emission Vision” project is an important case of industrial energy replacement, the park built a source – net – load – storage dynamic flexible control of the integrated architecture, to achieve 50% clean energy replacement rate, carbon reduction of 13,400 tons per year. In addition, ABB helped Komatsu Machinery Manufacturing (Shandong) Co., Ltd. establish an intelligent operation and maintenance platform to improve power supply reliability, achieve effective peak cutting and valley filling and production energy consumption optimization, and promote efficiency and energy saving. It can reduce about 2,300 tons of carbon dioxide emissions per year and save about 2 million yuan/year in energy costs.

At the roundtable forum, National Energy Group/Shenhua Engineering Technology Co., LTD. Chief electrical engineer/professor-level senior engineer/registered electrical engineer Xu Wenliang, MCC South Engineering Technology Co., LTD. Deputy general manager of intelligent manufacturing division Xu Haizhen, Anhui Gujing Group Co., LTD. Minister of power Department Geng Sen, ABB Electric China distribution system industry product market manager Cao Jie for industry experts Energy substitution and sustainable development were hotly discussed.
