Dalian, Liaoning province, is building a landscape lighting project powered by green energy, covering more than 450 buildings along the main road that extends 16 kilometers.
The project, combining high-efficiency intelligent floodlighting appliances and digital control, utilizes photovoltaic power generation and vanadium flow battery energy storage technology.
With the green power utilization mechanism and peak-valley electricity utilization mechanism, it maximizes the load of green energy power supply and power cost savings.
The project's control center, which covers an area of 160 square meters, is one of the most complete and functional management platforms of its kind in China. It can realize "one-button control" of all its lighting facilities and monitor the voltage, current, temperature and fire alarm of each facility.
