Energy storage facilities in industrial parks

Does an industrial park need an energy control center?

The industrial park must have an energy control center. That center would be the connection between prosumers, energy storage facilities and the power supply grid outside the industrial park. The prosumers cannot produce enough energy due to the changeable meteorological conditions.

What is energy infrastructure in an industrial park?

The energy infrastructure in an industrial park is de fined as shareable utilities that are located within the park and provide energy for the park, e.g., heat and electricity31. Climate change mitigation requires decoupling energy services and GHG emissions.

Why are industrial parks important?

Industrial parks are flourishing globally and are mostly equipped with a shareable energy infrastructure, which has a long service lifetime and thus locks in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

What was energy infrastructure like in 1604 industrial parks?

Firstly, a high-resolution geodatabase of energy infrastructure in 1604 industrial parks was established. These energy infrastructures largely featured heavy coal dependence, small capacities, cogeneration of heat and power, and were young in age.

Why is shared energy infrastructure important in industrial parks?

Shareable energy infrastructure is universally used in industrial parks and generally has a long service lifetime27 –29; thus, the GHG emissions from industrial parks are locked in. Ef cient, resilient, and sustainable infra-fi structure is a crucial pathway to greening industrilization30.

What is the energy infrastructure in Chinese industrial parks?

The geodatabase of energy infrastructure in 1604 Chinese industrial parks covered 2127 plants, including 4706 units. Fig. 1 illustrates the overview of energy infrastructure in the parks by the end of 2014, from the perspective of stock evolution, fuel structure, and capacity structure.
