PROJECT SUMMARY
To help provide carbon-free solar energy to industrial parks in Baiguan, State Grid Tianjin Electric Power Survey, Design & Consulting was tasked with constructing a 330-kilowatt solar array, data center stations, electric vehicle charging stations, and 5G base stations. To design the complex, multidiscipline concept, they used Bentley applications to establish a single development platform and create 3D models of all assets. The digital designs improved efficiency, prevented errors, reduced the environmental footprint, and shortened construction time. Solar power from the array has eliminated 2,700 tons of carbon emissions per year.
