Water-cooled energy storage in industrial parks

What is energy infrastructure in an industrial park?

The energy infrastructure in an industrial park is defined as shareable utilities that are located within the park and provide energy for the park, e.g., heat and electricity 31. Climate change mitigation requires decoupling energy services and 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.

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.

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.

Why is shared energy infrastructure important in industrial parks?

Shareable energy infrastructure is universally used in industrial parks and generally has a long service lifetime 27, 28, 29; thus, the GHG emissions from industrial parks are locked in. Efficient, resilient, and sustainable infrastructure is a crucial pathway to greening industrilization 30.

Does energy infrastructure decarbonize industrial parks?

In existing studies, GHG mitigation of industrial parks and energy infrastructure have been mostly analyzed separately, and very few studies emphasized energy infrastructure decarbonization at the industrial park level 31.
