ABB Xiamen Hub, an industrial arm of Swiss technology and engineering company ABB, in the zone, is constructing a photovoltaic system and optimizing its energy storage system to facilitate the construction of an intelligent park project.

Photovoltaic and energy storage are two measures for ABB to carry out energy conservation, according to Jiang Ying, manager of the digital business at ABB China.

"Better energy saving and emissions reduction require digital methods," Jiang said.

At ABB's hub, all of its intelligent equipment is able to track and analyze energy consumption and transfer real-time data to help employees design solutions that are greener and more energy-efficient, according to the company.

For example, the company's intelligent electricity distribution control system combines monitoring, optimizing, prediction and management of energy use. It can save 30 percent of the cost of electricity and 40 percent of operation and maintenance costs.

The hub will develop its smart park project into a benchmark that coordinates the operation of capacity and storage between the source and network, Jiang said.

The park project is expected to be completed next year. ABB will cooperate with related partners to promote its intelligent energy mobilizing technology and the smart park project, and thus to contribute to the goals of peaking carbon emissions before 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality before 2060, Jiang added.

Clenergy, a high-tech renewable energy company in the zone, provides businesses with intelligent energy-saving solutions and products.

With technologies including cloud computing and artificial intelligence, Clenergy has realized more intelligent energy management, said Hong Wei, chairman of the company.

Earlier this year, the company developed a system that combines intelligent photovoltaic and digital energy management, which can present the real-time circumstance of the company's energy operation.

Through digital innovation, the system not only helps learn about the situation of energy consumption but also helps predict its trend and contributes to more specific management of energy, Hong said.

Clenergy has set up an array of solar photovoltaic panels. Hong said the company has a total of six photovoltaic-powered systems, generating 30 percent of the power for Clenergy.

According to the company, its photovoltaic-powered systems are expected to generate about 11 million kilowatt-hours of electric power and will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 10,967 metric tons over a 25-year period.

Next year, Clenergy said it plans to operate with zero carbon emissions, utilizing electricity completely generated by clean energy.

Focusing on combining industrial production with environmental protection, the zone has invited the third-party environmental protection service institutions to help in its environmental management and aid its businesses in eco-friendly production.
