  • Unveil the “Ignite Your Impact Challenge” to nurture Hong Kong’s future young leaders for social impact.
  • Highlight new solutions across various sectors, including power & grid, buildings, eMobility, facility management, data centers, and industrial automation to accelerate decarbonization.

Hong Kong, October 22, 2024 – Schneider Electric, the leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, today concluded the Innovation Summit Hong Kong 2024, advocating for digitization, electrification, and innovative partnerships for a more resilient, efficient, and sustainable future. The event drew a record attendance of over 850 participants. A key highlight was the unveiling of the Ignite Your Impact Challenge. This initiative underlines Schneider Electric’s commitment to nurture future generations with an official launch ceremony, forging a powerful alliance to tackle sustainability challenges and drive meaningful impact.

The summit featured over 30 industry impact makers and formed strategic partnerships with the Business Environment Council and the Hong Kong Green Building Council.  Supporting organizations included the Hong Kong Management Association, the International Facility Management Association (Hong Kong Chapter), and the French Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Hong Kong. Together, an agenda was formulated focusing on digital technologies and partnerships to advance Hong Kong’s sustainability transition. 

“Achieving net-zero emissions and building climate resilience requires coordinated action across entire value chains and industries. No single organization can tackle the climate crisis alone,” said Jonathan Chiu, President of Schneider Electric Hong Kong. “By driving Hong Kong’s sustainability transformation through innovation, collaboration, and impactful actions, this year’s event exemplified this principle by bringing together business leaders and sustainability practitioners. They exchange ideas on leveraging collaborative action and technology and amplify impact, seizing our greatest opportunity and responsibility to create a smarter and more sustainable future for all.”

Leading transformation through innovation and technology for sustainability

In its pursuit of accelerating sustainability and creating decarbonization pathways, the Summit showcased a comprehensive lineup of solutions leveraging cutting-edge technologies to drive innovation and decarbonization across various sectors, including power & grid, buildings, eMobility, facility management, data centers, and industrial automation.

 

Power & Grid

The climate crisis makes energy security uncertain. EcoStruxure Microgrid integrates microgrid control, electrical distribution, software, and battery storage systems to provide optimal energy management, ensure operational continuity and support decarbonization goals.

  • EcoStruxure Microgrid Advisor dynamically controls on-site energy resources and loads to optimize the facility’s performance by using predictive algorithms. The software connects to distributed energy resources to forecast and optimize energy consumption, production, and storage. The web-based user interface provides real-time data on energy savings, energy earnings, and CO2 emissions.
  • Ecostruxure Distributed Energy Resource Management System (DERMS) helps monitor, forecast, and control distributed energy resources (DERs). It offers capabilities like hosting capacity analysis, grid constraint management, and the utilization of DER flexibility. It helps electricity companies manage two-way energy flows, improve grid visibility, address voltage and power quality issues, and ensure protection, which is essential for integrating DERs and maintaining power reliability.
  • Energy Control Center combines electrical distribution equipment and industrial controls into an intelligent Power Management System that is pre-wired, assembled & factory tested to deliver autonomous microgrid solutions managing multiple energy sources and prioritized loads.
  • Battery Energy Storage System enables the minimization of energy costs while ensuring standard conformity.  It offers a scalable configuration and peace of mind through a fully self-contained solution that includes inverters, battery cooling, output transformer, safety features, and controls.

 

Buildings

Hong Kong aims to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, with a strong focus on energy-saving measures and green buildings. Given that buildings account for about 90% of Hong Kong’s total electricity consumption and over 50% of its carbon emissions.  The city has prioritized retrofitting older buildings, which are often poorly maintained and lack modern management systems. Upgrading these buildings is crucial to meeting international energy standards and sustainability goals.

EcoStruxure Energy Hub, is a scalable IoT software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution that simplifies the management of digitalized electrical and energy systems. It helps commercial, industrial, and institutional building owners and operators manage essential energy systems more effectively and achieve sustainability goals.  The solution offers up to 30% in energy savings with a simple, intuitive user experience and cyber resilient solution.

 

eMobility  

To support the government’s goal of converting petrol filling stations into quick charging or petrol-cum-charging stations, an innovative electric vehicle (EV) charging solution is offered as Equipment-as-a-Service to carpark operators. With comprehensive EcoStruxure for eMobility, Schneider Electric offers a wide range of EV chargers, including EVlink™ Pro DC (60 – 180 kw), EVlink Pro AC (7.4 - 22kw), Schneider Charge Pro (7.4 - 22kw) and Schneider Charge (7.4 - 22kw). In addition, EcoStruxure EV Charging Expert, a charging load management system, manages EV charging infrastructure effectively and reliably. This end-to-end connected solution provides peace of mind to drivers on the road, at home, and in the workplace, accelerating a smarter and faster EV transition in Hong Kong.

 

Facility Management

By 2030, Hong Kong will have around 14,000 buildings older than 50 years. EcoConsult Consulting Services help facility managers identify inefficiencies, make recommendations for energy savings, and provide actionable insights for power reliability, safety, and efficiency.

  • EcoConsult Audit for Energy Efficiency helps buildings remain compliant with the government’s energy audit regulations while positioning them at the forefront of energy efficiency and sustainability. This audit thoroughly examines the building's energy-consuming systems, identifies inefficiencies, and recommends actionable improvements for energy savings.
  • EcoConsult Audit Advanced assesses the building’s electrical distribution system on-site. This evaluation identifies potential electrical hazards, providing clients with a comprehensive report on the condition of their electrical distribution system and recommendations to enhance power reliability, safety, and efficiency.

 

Data Centers

The evolving demands of cloud computing, IoT, AI, and edge applications are reshaping IT infrastructure and the cooling solutions that support it. Compared with conventional air cooling, liquid cooling offers superior energy efficiency, reduced footprint, lower total cost of ownership (TCO), and enhanced server reliability, all while minimizing noise. Schneider Electric provides a complete and broad liquid cooling system solution, from complementary air cooling, heat rejection units, liquid cooling rack systems, and coolant distribution units (CDU) to digital services, optimizing AI performance, reducing operational costs and achieving energy savings for sustainable data centers.

 

Industrial Automation in Water Segment

Rapid urbanization, climate change, and growing water demand are increasing pressure on water and wastewater services. The scarcity of fresh water threatens the prosperity and sustainability of all human societies. To address these challenges, the water industry is leveraging data for maintenance, water safety, asset health, and operational efficiency.

AVEVA Unified Operations Center for Water enhances operational awareness and crisis response to water loss or leakage.  It provides a centralized view for agile management of global and regional water and wastewater operations, combining broad insights with the ability to drill down on specific KPIs and real-time operations. Together with AVEVA PI System, it enables industrial operations to collect, cleanse, store, enrich, and visualize real-time operations data with full IT compliance. This system helps water utilities optimize efficiency, ensure resilience, and drive sustainability.
