220kV Lvzhou Substation in Shanghai Implemented, Innovatively Integrating Photovoltaic Panels onto the Substation Roof

On December 3, the 220kV Lvzhou Substation was successfully implemented, marking it as the first project in Shanghai to integrate a 220kV substation with rooftop photovoltaics. This project will fulfill the electricity demand of Huawei's Lianqiuhu Research and Development Center, the largest R&D base globally for the company. Additionally, it will optimize the western power grid structure in Qingpu District, support the construction of the Yangtze River Delta Ecological and Green Integrated Development Demonstration Zone, and provide solid electric power safeguard for high-quality regional development.

With the further integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta, the region is accelerating its green and innovative transformation, continuously upgrading the quality of urban and rural areas, and experiencing significant growth in electricity load. Lvzhou Substation will bring a more adequate and reliable supply of electric power to support regional development. At the same time, it will help the western part of Qingpu seize the opportunities presented by the establishment of the Huawei R&D Center, the construction of the "Shuixiang Keting" - core function demonstration area for the high-quality, green and integrated ecological development of Shanghai-Jiangsu-Zhejiang region, the opening of the Shanghai-Suzhou-Huzhou Railway, and other opportunities, to achieve high-quality economic and social development.

Located within the demonstration zone of green and integrated ecological development of the Yangtze River Delta, the building design of Lvzhou Substation fully incorporates the concept of eco-green development. As Shanghai's first 220kV substation with an integrated rooftop photovoltaic system, the station's main control building rooftop is equipped with a total of 432 photovoltaic modules, covering an area of 1,341 square meters.

In addition, the exterior design of Lvzhou Station cleverly integrates traditional Chinese architectural styles, employing classical colors such as grayish blue, ocher-brown, and plain white for its facade. It is also adorned with creative elements such as gables and frames, which complement the surrounding Zhujiajiao Ancient Town, jointly forming a harmonious and unified ancient charm of the water towns in the regions south of the Yangtze River.
