en.Wedoany.com Reported - • ABB Electrification plays a pioneering role in the industry, building an industrial exchange platform and working with supply chain partners to jointly explore pathways for building a new energy system

• A roundtable dialogue was held on "Opportunities and Challenges in the High-Quality Development of the New Power System," focusing on the coordinated development of green, safe, and economic growth, and building ecosystem consensus for industry transformation

• ABB showcased multiple innovations: the Zero-Carbon Park Multi-Dimensional Collaborative Dispatch AI Agent, All-DC Solutions, and the iWise Intelligent Management Platform, empowering the green energy transition with strong practicality, easy replication, and scalable deployment

The "15th Five-Year Plan for Building a New Energy System" was recently issued, setting the 2030 target: to preliminarily establish a clean, low-carbon, safe, and efficient new energy system, with new energy installed capacity and non-fossil energy power generation both exceeding 50%, marking a historic transformation of the power structure.

As the energy transition moves from "increasing green" to "strengthening foundations," building the new energy system during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period has become a mandatory task for the industry. On July 3, ABB hosted the Energy Development and Industrial Ecosystem Summit under the theme "Race to Power, Thrive Together," bringing together industry experts, customers, and partners from the power, energy storage, and data center sectors to discuss the challenges and market opportunities from the power generation end to the consumption end against the backdrop of high-proportion renewable energy integration and the two-way empowerment of AI and energy, outlining a roadmap for a zero-carbon future.

Exploring New Development Directions, Leveraging "AI+Power" to Build a Safe and Efficient New Energy System

In their joint opening remarks, Luo Hui, Head of ABB Electrification Distribution Solutions Business in China, and Cao Yang, Head of ABB Electrification China Smart Buildings and Smart Power Market Sales, noted that FE is the world's first and only FIA World Championship to have achieved net-zero carbon certification since its inception, and its technology-driven racing DNA is highly aligned with ABB's sustainability philosophy. The split-second competition on the FE track—the pace of racing—relies on millisecond-level energy storage regulation and refined energy efficiency management, underpinned by continuous technological iteration and innovation. ABB extends the energy efficiency and regulation concepts honed in FE racing to industrial scenarios, delivering reliable end-to-end intelligent power distribution solutions while leveraging "AI+Power" to help build a safe and efficient new energy system.

In the keynote speeches, four experts decoded the pathways for building the new energy system from four dimensions: policy, energy storage, overseas engineering, and computing-power coordination. Dong Bo, Deputy Director of the Planning Department of the China Electricity Council, analyzed the situation and challenges facing the construction of the new power system during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period and proposed goals and measures for industry transformation and development; Liu Yong, Secretary-General of the Energy Storage Applications Branch of the China Industrial Association of Power Sources, focused on the development of the new energy storage industry, analyzing development routes, application areas, deep AI integration, and the problems and challenges ahead; Zhang Shu, Deputy Chief Engineer of China Construction Engineering Design Group, shared the electrical implementation process and key points of overseas EPC projects; and Jiang Bangtong, ABB Terminal Distribution Industry Solutions Manager, addressed the development trends of the computing power industry, sharing innovative power distribution models for AIDC intelligent computing centers and opening up pathways for the coordinated development of computing power loads and green electricity.

During the roundtable dialogue, ABB industry experts joined guests from the power, energy storage, data center, and zero-carbon park sectors in a conversation about the future of energy around the topic "Opportunities and Challenges in the High-Quality Development of the New Power System." From new energy leaping to become the dominant source of electricity, to quantified indicators for the implementation of "source-grid-load-storage collaborative interaction"; from large-scale deployment of multiple types of energy storage, to user-side transformations in computing-power coordination and zero-carbon parks—ten scenarios outlined the blueprint. With a holistic perspective and practical wisdom, the guests contributed breakthrough ideas for the transformation triangle of green, safe, and economic development, building consensus on supply chain collaboration.

Unveiling Hardcore Technologies, Unlocking Zero-Carbon Development Potential

Beyond the exchange of ideas, the summit also showcased multiple ABB Electrification innovations covering the needs of diverse scenarios.

The Zero-Carbon Park Multi-Dimensional Collaborative Dispatch AI Agent leverages multi-agent collaboration and model predictive control technologies to make autonomous optimization decisions amid energy fluctuations, balancing economic efficiency, safety, and low-carbon goals; by integrating mechanism models with real-time data, it continuously diagnoses photovoltaic efficiency and energy consumption potential, achieving a 5% reduction in comprehensive energy consumption, 15–20% cost savings, and a new energy consumption rate exceeding 90%. At the same time, combined with microgrid real-time monitoring and degradation analysis, it enables multi-dimensional cross-time-domain anomaly identification and early warning to ensure operational safety.

The iWise Intelligent Management Platform integrates IoT, big data, and AI, connecting the entire chain of energy consumption monitoring, intelligent dispatch, energy efficiency diagnosis, and carbon asset management to achieve closed-loop digital control.

The All-DC Solutions products feature DC-specific designs, using technologies such as high breaking capacity and magnetic arc blowing to build a strong line of defense for electrical safety; the streamlined power supply architecture, with advantages such as low losses and high efficiency, significantly reduces project investment and operation and maintenance costs.

Standing at the new starting point of energy development during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, ABB will continue to leverage innovations in electrification, digitalization, and artificial intelligence, work with industry partners to advance an open and collaborative ecosystem, and accelerate the construction of the new energy system with safer, more efficient, and lower-carbon energy solutions, making sustained contributions to China's green energy transition and high-quality development.
