Schneider Electric’s optical storage direct-flexible demonstration base settles in Wuhan, writing a new chapter in carbon reduction and greening

Today, Schneider Electric, a global digital transformation expert in the field of energy management and automation, announced the official completion of its photovoltaic storage, direct-to-flexible demonstration base in Wuhan, Jiangcheng. Schneider Electric will create a new paradigm of green building with the world's leading innovative technology through a complete "solar-storage-direct-soft" technology solution rooted in the local area, help accelerate the construction of Wuhan's advanced manufacturing cluster, and promote the low-carbon development of China's power industry. A zero-carbon future.

At present, building a new power system with new energy as the main body has become the consensus and direction of efforts of the entire industry. However, due to the intermittent and unstable nature of new energy power generation, the traditional "source follows load" model is no longer able to meet the current power consumption and deployment needs. Against this background, it becomes increasingly important to further tap the regulation potential on the power consumption side. Crucial. Building energy consumption is an important part of China's energy consumption. Benefiting from policy promotion, photovoltaic technology progress and demand growth, promoting the integration and coordinated development of "solar-storage direct-flexible" technology and the construction industry to create green and low-carbon buildings is an important step to achieve " A major boost to the “double carbon” goal. Among them, the "solar-storage direct-flexible" technology can not only improve building energy efficiency, but also further realize a new building energy system that replaces electric energy and interacts friendly with the power grid. It is one of the innovative means to achieve carbon reduction in buildings.

The Wuhan Solar Storage Direct-to-Flex Demonstration Base completed this time can achieve 100% photovoltaic green power supply for key loads such as new charging piles through complete DC products, solutions and system-level flexible adjustment capabilities, combined with existing photovoltaic power generation. , helping the entire factory reduce carbon emissions by 577 tons per year, thus achieving an average annual carbon reduction target of 13%. With the gradual iteration of the plan, the demonstration base will continue to help Schneider Electric's Wuhan factory achieve the sustainable development goals of efficient energy use, cleanness and low carbon in the future.

Having been deeply involved in the construction field for many years, Schneider Electric believes that innovative technology is an important force in promoting social progress and economic development, and plays an important role in future urban construction and management. At the event site, Schneider Electric officially released the white paper "Application Innovation of New Power Systems in the Dual-Carbon Context—Insights on "Optical-Storage Direct-Flexible Microgrids", which deeply analyzed its understanding of the optical-storage direct-flexible technology and pointed out its economical Sexual optimization, reducing energy expenditure, supplying reliable power, improving system flexibility, green and low-carbon power consumption, optimizing carbon footprint and friendly interaction with the power grid, empowering the four major values of energy assets; and points out the application of this solution, which can be "Flexible energy use" realizes friendly interaction between buildings and power grids, transforming buildings from pure consumers in the traditional energy system into a "trinity" complex integrating renewable energy production, consumption, and energy regulation and storage functions, and assisting rail transit Industries such as transportation and optical storage and charging stations have achieved energy conservation and emission reduction and reduced operating costs, fully demonstrating the importance of this solution in "opening the door to future society." It is worth mentioning that in the recently announced "Top 100 China Electrical Industry" selection, Schneider Electric's optical storage direct-flexible solution also won the "Top Ten Green Energy Solutions for China's Electrical Industry 2023", once again confirming the industry's commitment to Great recognition for its role in promoting green energy transition.
