• The exhibition focuses on "AI + Power" solutions, covering application scenarios such as direct green power connection, green power consumption, green microgrids, zero-carbon parks, and virtual power plants, providing replicable and scalable models for clean energy development, computing-power coordination, and industrial carbon reduction in the Southwest region

• ABB is actively involved in energy project construction in Southwest China, demonstrating its technical strength through mature engineering practices, with medium and low voltage distribution equipment playing a key role in multiple local energy and industrial power distribution scenarios

As a technology pioneer in energy transition, ABB is showcasing its "AI + Power: Building a New Energy System" themed solutions at the China International Power Industry Expo & Green Energy Equipment Expo & Yarlung Tsangpo Hydropower Station Engineering Construction Supply Chain Exhibition (Chengdu Power Equipment Expo), held in Chengdu from May 28 to 30.

At this exhibition, ABB, based on the construction needs of the Southwest clean energy base and with "AI + Power" technology at its core, provides customized solutions for hydropower projects, zero-carbon parks, and high-altitude scenarios, helping to build a safe, efficient, and low-carbon new power system. This responds to the call of the "15th Five-Year Plan" to "promote the optimization and upgrading of the energy structure," working hand in hand with customers to create a sustainable energy future.

Luo Hui, Head of ABB Electrification Distribution Solutions Business in China, attended the opening ceremony and the dialogue session of the High-Quality Hydropower Development Conference, where he joined industry representatives from the China Water & Electric Power Quality Management Association, Wujiang Hydropower, Huadian, China Yangtze Power, and PowerChina to discuss new pathways for high-quality hydropower development and how to transition from "scale expansion" to a new stage of "green and intelligent" growth.

Luo Hui stated that ABB is not just an electrical equipment supplier, but a core technology partner in building the new energy system. Currently, hydropower equipment is undergoing accelerated transformation, with core upgrade pathways spanning three dimensions: building a station-wide visualized energy-carbon management and control system based on digital twin technology, achieving "proactive safety" of equipment through AI-powered predictive intelligence, and applying green low-carbon equipment to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions across the entire lifecycle. From various hydropower stations to integrated hydro-wind-solar-storage energy bases, ABB is pioneering the innovative "source-grid-load-storage" power distribution model, helping to achieve dual improvements in energy efficiency and grid resilience. China is currently the world's largest hydropower market and leads global hydropower development. ABB's products and solutions not only play a role in local projects but also accompany Chinese enterprises as they expand globally, providing strong support for key hydropower projects under the global energy transition.

Four Exhibition Zones Present a Panoramic View, Unlocking Diverse "AI + Power" Application Scenarios

ABB's "AI + Power" initiative builds a smart hub through comprehensive sensing and AI algorithms, leveraging the SSC600 platform to achieve 95% accuracy in 7-day fault prediction, shifting operations and maintenance from reactive repair to predictive proactive maintenance. Through millisecond-level fault isolation ensuring stable grid integration of new energy, intelligent resource dispatch to enhance green power consumption, and incubation of new business models such as virtual power plants, ABB empowers users to transform into energy prosumers, safeguarding the safe, efficient, and low-carbon development of the new power system. At the exhibition, ABB brings these solutions to life across four dedicated exhibition zones, vividly illustrating the real-world application scenarios of "AI + Power" technology.

In the "AI + Power" exhibition zone, the focus is on innovative power distribution models, showcasing solutions such as the SSC600 AI+ Power System Failure Prediction, the SmartBox AI Health Assistant — Dr. Weian, and the MNS® Digital Management Platform. Through algorithms, these solutions enable early warning of equipment failures and real-time health status monitoring, significantly reducing operations and maintenance costs, improving power system operational efficiency, and upgrading the maintenance model from "reactive repair" to "proactive prevention."

In the zero-carbon park exhibition zone, the focus is on scenarios such as green power consumption and microgrids. Through the iCE600 energy-carbon management platform, virtual power plants and main-distribution-microgrid collaborative solutions, and the ABB Xiamen Industrial Center green microgrid model, the zone presents a comprehensive view of the value of "direct green power supply + smart microgrids." On the supply side, ABB's solutions ensure that every aggregated resource responds with precision; on the demand side, they help users identify every kilowatt-hour of wasted electricity.

On-site physical exhibits include the MNS® 3.0 Digital low-voltage switchgear, PrimeGear® ZX0 eco-friendly gas-insulated switchgear, SafePlus 40.5kV gas-insulated ring main units and compact switchgear, and the 24kV iVD4 medium-voltage intelligent circuit breaker. These products feature high reliability and strong environmental adaptability, making them suitable for the demanding operating conditions of large-scale hydropower bases and high-altitude regions in Southwest China, providing solid power assurance for mega projects.

The exhibition also showcases ABB's practical achievements in large-scale energy, power, and industrial projects. ABB has long been deeply involved in hydropower in Southwest China, having provided medium and low voltage power distribution system solutions and smart energy management systems for customers such as Three Gorges, Huadian, Huaneng, and State Grid. Successful projects span key regions including the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, the Lancang River basin, the Yalong River basin, and the Wujiang River basin, demonstrating ABB's deep expertise in both traditional power equipment and new energy, as well as its firm commitment to supporting high-quality delivery of EPC projects and empowering the construction of a new energy system.

Bei Zhen, Head of ABB Electrification Smart Power Low Voltage Systems Marketing & Sales in China, stated that ABB's medium and low voltage switchgear has been in service for over 20 years across numerous power and new energy projects in Southwest China. "We are grateful for and cherish the long-term trust from our Chinese customers. We are fellow travelers with our energy and industrial customers and partners in jointly addressing the challenges of energy transition. As we advance the construction of the nation's largest clean energy base in Southwest China, we hope to deepen our cooperation, provide innovative solutions for both new projects and upgrades to existing ones, and jointly explore the practical implementation and future development direction of 'AI + Power'."

This year's Chengdu Power Equipment Expo is jointly organized by the China Electricity Council, the Power Industry Committee of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, the SME Branch of the China Electricity Council, and the Sichuan Electric Power Industry Association. We welcome you to visit the ABB booth (Hall 2, Booth A22) at the Chengdu Century City New International Convention and Exhibition Center for exchange and discussion.
