"Wuhan Gongshang University has made a solid start in the construction of a green and low-carbon campus, with a strong foundation and remarkable achievements. It is expected to become the first zero-carbon campus in Hubei Province." Wang Wei, the manager of the Carbon Capacity Building Department of Hubei Carbon Emission Rights Trading Center, introduced, "Wuhan Gongshang University has completed the installation of rooftop photovoltaic systems in student dormitories and teaching buildings. The total scale of distributed photovoltaic power on campus is 5 MWp. It is estimated to generate 5.5 million kilowatt-hours of electricity annually, saving 3.13 million yuan in electricity costs annually and reducing 5,480 tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually."
In addition, the "liquid flow energy storage + V2G" intelligent microgrid demonstration project being constructed by the school integrates 390kW distributed photovoltaic power generation, a 120kW/480kWh zinc-bromine liquid flow energy storage system, 30 charging guns, and an AI intelligent source-grid-load-storage dispatching system. It adopts the "self-generation and self-consumption, surplus power fed back to the grid" mode, combined with V2G (vehicle-grid interaction) technology, and can achieve efficient coordination and optimization of the energy system, as well as safety warning and aggregation control.
Zhou Xiangling, the dean of the New Energy and Electrical Industry College of the university, introduced that the college adopts a three-in-one operation model of "teaching college + research institute + enterprise", introducing the expert team of Academician Fan Mingwu and cooperating with enterprises such as Jun'an Energy Storage. They have built three technical systems for zero-carbon campus construction, namely zinc bromide liquid flow battery energy storage, intelligent microgrid system integration, and short-cut power wireless private network. They have also applied for relevant invention patents. Based on this technical system, the university has implemented five application scenarios such as campus intelligent microgrid and public building photovoltaic-storage-direct current integration, forming a replicable and scalable low-carbon urban renewal solution.
At the launch ceremony, the "Collaborative Innovation Center for Energy Transformation and Urban Renewal in the Intelligent Era" was simultaneously inaugurated. This center was jointly initiated by Wuhan Academy of Social Sciences and Wuhan University of Commerce. It brings together forces from various sectors including government, academia, industry and research, focusing on key areas such as smart grids, new energy storage, and zero-carbon technologies. It builds a long-term mechanism for cross-border integration and provides intellectual support for the green and low-carbon transformation of cities.
Zhang Jun explained that the integration of education and industry is a major highlight of the school's zero-carbon campus project. Jun'an Energy Storage has set up a battery research, testing and assembly base, as well as a battery pilot production line, within the school's industry-university-research innovation base. The "liquid flow energy storage + V2G" intelligent microgrid demonstration project jointly constructed by the school and enterprises such as Beijing Losada has also been implemented on campus. Students can participate in the research and development of new energy storage technologies and the construction and operation processes of intelligent microgrids without leaving the campus.
