en.Wedoany.com Reported - Electricity is the lifeblood for a city's thriving growth. Power grids light up countless homes and drive all sectors of industry. Against the backdrop of the new era's energy transformation, how to meet electricity demands while achieving green, intelligent, and secure urban development has become a core challenge in grid construction.
The first episode of "Our Answer" Season 2 is now live! See how ABB, leveraging its deep industry expertise and full-spectrum technological innovation, collaborates with Baoding Huachuang to set a new green and intelligent benchmark in the power grid construction of the Xiong'an New Area.
A New Solution to a Challenge
As the "City of the Future" bearing a national strategy for the millennium, the Xiong'an New Area established goals for sustainable, high-quality development from its inception: achieving 99.999% power supply reliability, 100% clean energy, and over 90% intelligent infrastructure. These benchmark indicators impose stringent requirements for the power grid: high-quality reliability, environmental friendliness, and digital intelligence.
ABB's answer starts with green to unlock the future.
As an advocate and practitioner of low-carbon and environmental protection concepts, ABB achieved localized production of eco-friendly gas-insulated ring main units and switchgear in China as early as 2014. In 2019, the Xiong'an New Area took the forward-thinking step of comprehensively adopting sulfur hexafluoride-free (SF₆-free) eco-friendly equipment. In 2020, ABB delivered in batches its Safe Air eco-friendly gas-insulated ring main units equipped with the Safe Digital intelligent solution to the Xiong'an New Area, providing a reference case for the development of green and intelligent distribution grids and laying the groundwork for the nationwide large-scale adoption of SF₆-free equipment starting in 2023.
In 2020, ABB entered into in-depth collaboration with Baoding Huachuang Electric Co., Ltd., working together on innovation to create a safe, reliable, green, low-carbon, and digital power distribution solution for the Xiong'an New Area's distribution project. The Safe Air eco-friendly gas-insulated ring main units and PrimeGear ZX0 eco-friendly gas-insulated switchgear, integrated with digital sensing technology and combined with Baoding Huachuang's equipment condition monitoring solution, enable real-time perception and proactive maintenance of the distribution system, driving the digital and intelligent upgrade of Xiong'an's distribution grid.
Innovation Empowers Green Efficiency
The ABB Safe Air ring main unit uses dry air as the insulating medium, achieving 100% SF₆-free operation. It employs recyclable thermoplastic materials, with a product recyclability rate exceeding 97%, making it truly environmentally friendly. The PrimeGear ZX0 switchgear is a new generation of eco-friendly gas-insulated switchgear developed by ABB by integrating global R&D resources and advanced technology. It combines safety, reliability, environmental friendliness, and intelligence, completely replacing the greenhouse gas SF₆, and integrates multiple digital solutions, providing high-standard support for the new area's construction.
Accelerating the Full Chain to Resolve Delivery Challenges
Facing challenges such as tight project delivery timelines, high construction difficulty, and limited space in distribution rooms, ABB innovatively adopted an upgraded customized "rear outlet" design. Through optimization of the entire service chain including design, production, and logistics, the supply cycle was shortened by 30%, ensuring efficient project implementation. In an era where energy transformation and urban evolution proceed in parallel, Xiong'an's "City of the Future" has set a new standard for urban power grids. ABB will continue to collaborate with partners, using the power of technological innovation to answer the era's energy challenges! Stay tuned for more stories in the "Our Answer" series.
