State Grid Jiangsu Establishes Energy Service Station for Park Microgrid

Recently, the Microgrid Energy Service Station at Wuxi Huishan District Future Health Technology Industrial Park was officially put into operation. This service station offers various energy services, including power operation and maintenance, carbon peaking and carbon neutrality consulting, microgrid operation, and green electricity and green certificate trading.

Energy Service Station

It is reported that the Future Health Technology Industrial Park in Huishan District houses a large number of high-tech enterprises. The park faces challenges such as high energy consumption and complex management difficulties, with an average annual electricity consumption of 20 million kWh. During visits conducted by power supply staff, it was found that there are significant differences in the electricity usage habits and needs between research-oriented and production-oriented enterprises: Companies focused on drug research and development have a stable energy load but high requirements for power quality; companies primarily engaged in the production of medical equipment experience load fluctuations often tied to orders and production conditions, with frequent impact loads; companies involved in export trade have potential demand for green electricity and green certificates, with an estimated annual green electricity demand of around 2 million kWh.

Exploring energy-saving potential has become an important issue for the park’s development. State Grid Wuxi Power Supply Company has tailored an intelligent microgrid operation solution for the park, planning to build a 1 MW photovoltaic power generation system within the park, paired with a 1 MW/2 MWh energy storage system. Under the real-time monitoring of the smart energy management system, combined with energy load, the solution provides energy strategies to optimize the energy structure and enable reasonable dispatch, helping park enterprises participate in demand-side response and electricity market transactions.

After the energy service station begins operation, it is expected to increase the park's energy-saving rate by more than 10%, saving 2 million kWh of electricity annually, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 1,994 tons, and saving 800 tons of standard coal.
