National Recognition for Multi-Energy Flexible System Demonstration
ABB Xiamen Industrial Center has been selected as a demonstration site for the “Key Technologies for Multi-Energy Flexible Systems in Hot and Humid Regions” under China’s National Key R&D Program. The award highlights ABB’s leadership in low-carbon industrial park development and energy system innovation, paving the way for scalable market applications of multi-energy flexible systems.
Intelligent Coordination Enables Self-Regulating Energy Systems
The industrial center integrates intelligent energy coordination that allows systems to automatically adjust and respond to dynamic load demands. By combining factory automation, PLC/DCS control systems, and AI-driven analytics, ABB enhances grid collaboration and empowers the evolution of modern power systems.
From Low-Carbon Park to National Demonstration
ABB’s Xiamen facility serves as a replicable benchmark for industrial park green transformation. Through innovative energy system design and operational excellence, the project demonstrates how industrial hubs in hot, humid climates can reduce carbon emissions while maintaining operational efficiency.
Real-World Application of Multi-Energy Flexible Systems
During the award ceremony, ABB showcased its multi-energy flexible system for typical high-temperature, high-humidity conditions. The system includes photovoltaic generation, energy storage, building and production load management, and microgrid coordination. Centralized intelligent controllers optimize energy flows in real time, achieving efficient, precise, and adaptive energy management.
Fast, Responsive Grid Interaction
ABB’s technology allows flexible adjustment of 5%–20% of the industrial park’s electricity load. In response to grid demand signals, the system can modulate 2,400 kW of load within one minute, seamlessly participating in demand-side response programs. This rapid, smooth response establishes a practical blueprint for source-load interaction under modern distribution networks.
Industry Expertise and Leadership
ABB’s energy and automation teams in China emphasize that industrial parks are key areas for energy transition. By integrating advanced industrial automation, control systems, and AI-enabled energy management, ABB demonstrates its technical strength and delivery capability in real-world energy transformation projects.
