Direct light storage technology improves energy efficiency

As one of the main industries of energy carbon reduction, building is constantly exploring the application of innovative technologies to promote green and sustainable development. The innovation of “light storage direct and soft” technology is very suitable for the application of green and low-carbon buildings, and realizes the dynamic balance between source and charge through energy storage, realizes the maximum local consumption of photovoltaic, and promotes the green and low-carbon transformation. Through the optimization technology of microgrid, the flexible control ability of building load is realized, and the self-adaptive microgrid system with urban power grid is constructed.

ABB participated in the Shenzhen Shekou Building upgrading project, which innovatively applied DC power distribution technology and energy optimization technology to improve power distribution safety, improve energy efficiency and reduce KWH cost through the application of light storage direct soft technology. After the renovation, the annual photovoltaic power generation of Shekou Building is 261,800 KWH, and the comprehensive energy saving rate is 61.16%; It has been awarded the national near zero energy building design evaluation mark, and is the first batch of carbon peak carbon neutral pilot projects in Guangdong Province and the second batch of near zero emission building pilot projects in Shenzhen.

OmniCore™ Controller

Make automated production more sustainable

ABB’s new generation of OmniCore™ controllers not only dramatically increases the efficiency and flexibility of automated production, but also delivers sustainable performance from design to the entire life cycle.

Thanks to a number of smart technologies, OmniCore™ controllers achieve 20% energy savings over ABB’s previous controllers. Advanced cooling technology reduces cooling energy consumption; LAN wake-up function supports hibernation mode, significantly reducing power consumption; Up to 30% energy savings compared to manual programmiDSDO110 57160001-K ng with RobotStudio automatic path planning; ABB’s remanufacturing, replacement, and buyback services also maximize robot life, improve reliability, and help reduce resource waste.

Permanent magnet synchronous motor

Support semiconductor companies to break through energy consumption bottlenecks

As an energy-intensive industry, semiconductor manufacturing has a huge demand for electricity in its production facilities. A large semiconductor manufacturing plant can consume up to 100 megawatt-hours of electricity in a single hour, equivalent to the electricity consumption of more than 80,000 average homes. As semiconductor production surges and manufacturing processes become more complex, power consumption in factories will continue to grow.

After the expansion of a leading semiconductor industry enterprise in Tianjin area, the need for energy conservation has become more urgent. The M2BJX permanent magnet synchronous motor supplied by ABB not only meets the energy saving targets set by the company, but also exceeds its expected energy saving targets with an average system energy saving of 16% under operating conditions, reducing CO2 emissions by about 500 tons per year.
