China now is accelerating energy transition by shifting to an electricity-centered energy consumption mode. In 2019, electricity accounted for 26% of China’s total end-user energy consumption, and the figure is expected to rise to 32% by 2025. Transport electrification represents one of the key approaches to realize the energy transition. ABB can offer a full range of solutions from power distribution to EV charging for the electrification of vehicles, ships, railway, trams and cable cars, leading green mobility.
At the China EV100 Forum 2021 held on January 15th-17th, ABB showcased a series of products including multi-standard compatible DC charger, smart AC charger, and multimedia outdoor charger. The ABB Ability™ charging service platform equipped chargers with IoT capabilities and make possible digital management and remote fault diagnosis, thus meeting the requirements of various applications from charging service operation sites to households.
With a rated output power of up to 21kW, the upcoming ABB EVinn TA 7kW - 21 kW AC charger can meet the high-power AC charging requirements in the future, and its intelligent load balancing management can address the challenge of insufficient distribution. All-round ultimate safety protection measures, such as overvoltage/undervoltage protection, current-limiting protection, and grounding continuity detection can meet the parking supporting facility demand of a wide range of public buildings, commercial buildings, industrial parks, and residential buildings, and create improved load-balancing AC charging experience with safe, reliable, and intelligent orderly charging solutions.
ABB Terra DC chargers that feature high safety and reliability is suitable for charging stations, high-end buildings and other charging applications. Covering the needs of mainstream vehicle models including passenger vehicles, buses and logistics trucks, ABB Terra DC chargers can provide efficient, cost-effective, safe and easily accessible charging services to charging station operators or buildings and properties. With the ABB Ability™ charging service platform, the charging demands in the household multi-energy and charging station field scenarios can be reasonably planned, and the intelligent electricity metering function can meet the vehicle use demand while effectively cutting down charging costs. In addition, the urgent charging demands can be guided by the Price Calculator of the platform to reflect the fairness of electricity consumption.
Within the four charging standards across the world, ABB, as the founding member of CCS alliance and CHAdeMo, has built R&D partnership, gloabl strategic cooperative partnership, and other extensive cooperative partnership with more than 20 well-known local and overseas auto enterprises, including Volvo, Audi, DENZA, etc. ABB also provided power distribution solutions and charging solutions for residence, public facilities, cars, ships, railways, electric tram, cable cars, etc., such as the Ao Zheng Cheng Yuan project in Linyi, Shandong, Zhenjiang Media and Culture Industrial Group Co., Ltd (ZMC Group), the electric bus charging station project of Jinneng Group in Puxian County, Shanxi, and the industrial park of Tianjin Kahuer Electrical Technology Co., Ltd. In 2020, ABB’s global e-mobility leadership once again was underlined by the supply of its 11 kW bi-directional charging technology specially designed for Vehicle-To-Grid (V2G) under the contract signed between ABB and DREEV, a French company specialized in smart EV charging service.
In alignment with the Sustainability Strategy 2030, ABB will vigorously support the development of low-carbon society, achieve carbon neutral in its operations by 2030, and help customers reduce emissions. ABB will help customers cut down CO2 emission by at least 100 million tons a year, which is equivalent to the annual emissions of 30 million vehicles, 40 thermal power plants or a medium-size country. On September 9, 2020, ABB joined hands with Green.TV to hold a World EV Day campaign, advocating green travel.
As a global technology leader in sustainable mobility, ABB also joined forces with the ABB FIA Formula E Championship to make proactive contributions to sustainable development in the future and push the boundaries of e-mobility technologies. Currently, ABB has installed over 17,000 DC fast chargers in 80 countries including China. In the days to come, ABB will actively work with its partners to promote technology innovation and provide safe and reliable ABB smart charging solutions, giving strong supports and guarantees for green travel and thus helping the sustainable development of low-carbon society.
