Abstract

Buildings in China account for 45.5% of the country’s total energy consumption. As part of the electric infrastructure, substation buildings house large-scale equipment prone to over-heating, necessitating substantial energy for cooling. In this study, we aimed to investigate the energy-saving potential of natural ventilation and the impact of a renewable energy technology on the Xiamen Substation, located in a hot, humid region in China. The simulations revealed significant findings: substituting natural ventilation for air conditioning led to a substantial annual ESP of 25.8%. Moreover, the incorporation of renewable energy technologies, particularly photovoltaic panels in substation construction, could generate a substantial energy output ranging from 1.105 to 160.98 mwh annually. This study proposes passive strategies and renewable energy technologies for retro-fitting existing substations with energy-saving measures and for designing future green substations.
