Shanghai Waigaoqiao Free Trade Zone is the first free trade zone in China, which was approved by The State Council in June 1990. It is located in Pudong New Area of Shanghai with a planning area of 10 square kilometers. Waigaoqiao Free Trade Zone is an important carrier of Shanghai's international shipping and trade center, and is also the first national import trade promotion innovation demonstration zone. Founded in 1993, Shanghai Waigaoqiao Free Trade Zone New Development Co., Ltd. is the development and management company of new land parcels in Shanghai Waigaoqiao Free Trade Zone, responsible for the transfer of land use rights and comprehensive management of the areas near the free trade Zone.
Shanghai Waigaoqiao Free Trade Zone
The bonded area is large, equivalent to 1400 football fields, and the project plots are scattered, so it is not difficult to achieve unified management of power distribution equipment, and rapid response and timely operation and maintenance are great challenges. As the park adopts the rental and sale project mode, in order to avoid economic losses for tenants, the safety and reliability of the distribution system and the continuity of power supply are also the top priorities.
After fully assessing the needs, ABB helped customers access ABB AbilityTM EDCS intelligent power distribution control system to build a unified digital power distribution monitoring and management platform, providing an ideal solution for power safety, power management and mobile operation and maintenance in large parks: Through multi-site synchronous real-time monitoring, the overall management of block equipment performance and electrical system is realized, which can refine the cost of electricity and quickly locate hidden dangers. The predictive maintenance of the main distribution equipment ensures the reliability and continuity of electricity consumption; It can also remind and alarm operation and maintenance personnel in real time, improve inspection efficiency and response timeliness, and remotely implement efficient and convenient power management strategies.
General manager of Shanghai Waigaoqiao Free Trade Zone New Development Co., LTD., said that Shanghai Waigaoqiao Free Trade Zone is the largest free trade zone in the country, and it is still under continuous development and expansion. Such a large-scale, commercial activity, heavy traffic complex needs a digital power distribution system to enable intelligent operations. Together with ABB, we have created a benchmark for smart power distribution in this large-scale park and consolidated Shanghai Waigaoqiao Free Trade Zone's leading position in the business value of the industry.
Yongzhan Zhao, head of ABB's Electrical Business unit in China, said, "ABB's intelligent power distribution solutions improve the performance of electrical systems and ensure high safety and reliability of electricity consumption, drawing a new blueprint for power and equipment management. With the rising concept of smart parks, energy efficiency optimization, power quality management, and intelligent operation and maintenance have become the focus of large parks. ABB is willing to work with national parks such as Shanghai Waigaoqiao Free Trade Zone to explore the digital road of "smart power consumption and scientific management" and provide electrical technical support for its refined operation."
For Shanghai Waigaoqiao Free Trade Zone, ABB AbilityTM EDCS intelligent power distribution control system integrates iVD4® medium voltage vacuum circuit breaker and Emax 2 low voltage circuit breaker solution to realize intelligent temperature measurement and intelligent power distribution system access at key parts. The incoming circuit breaker adopts the VD4 vacuum circuit breaker with 6-point contact arm to measure the temperature of the main circuit accurately, identify safety hazards, give early warning, greatly reduce unexpected power outage, and effectively reduce operating costs; The Emax2 air circuit breaker is connected through digital communication mode to achieve real-time monitoring, early warning and mobile operation and maintenance of the equipment, ensuring the reliability of the electrical system while flexibly controlling the electricity cost.
