Chengdu, Sichuan, January 2026 – Since its opening in July 2025, Xinjin District People’s Hospital’s new campus has been successfully operating as a modern 129,900-square-meter healthcare landmark. The facility’s comprehensive intelligent power distribution system was delivered by Sichuan Zhongxin General Electric Energy Co., Ltd. (formerly Sichuan Zhongxin General Electric Power Co., Ltd. until June 2024), a National Specialized and New “Little Giant” Enterprise. This mission-critical infrastructure serves as the facility’s vital energy backbone, ensuring reliable, stable, and intelligent power supply for life-critical medical operations.
The new campus integrates three critical healthcare facilities: the main hospital of Xinjin District People’s Hospital, Xinjin District Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and Xinjin District People’s Hospital Infectious Disease Hospital. This comprehensive medical complex demanded an exceptionally robust power infrastructure capable of supporting uninterrupted healthcare delivery under all circumstances.
Comprehensive Power Solution: 16,730 kVA Intelligent Distribution System
Recognizing the mission-critical nature of hospital power systems, Zhongxin General Electric Energy designed and implemented a sophisticated 16,730 kVA power distribution infrastructure tailored to the complex requirements of modern healthcare facilities. The system’s architecture prioritizes reliability, redundancy, and intelligent management to ensure continuous operation of surgical suites, intensive care units, emergency departments, diagnostic imaging equipment, and electronic medical record systems.
Robust Power Core: Multi-Capacity Transformer Configuration
The foundation of the power system comprises 12 strategically configured dry type transformers providing flexible and reliable power distribution across different hospital zones:
- 2 units × 2000 kVA transformers
- 6 units × 1600 kVA transformers
- 2 units × 1000 kVA transformers
- 1 unit × 630 kVA transformer
- 1 unit × 500 kVA transformer
This diversified transformer configuration enables optimized power allocation to various departments based on their specific load requirements and criticality levels. High-demand areas such as operating rooms, ICU, and diagnostic imaging centers receive dedicated power feeds from larger capacity transformers, while administrative and support areas are served by appropriately sized units, maximizing both efficiency and reliability.
All transformers feature premium stainless steel enclosures providing superior corrosion resistance, enhanced safety, and extended service life in the demanding hospital environment. The low-loss, high-efficiency design minimizes energy waste while maintaining stable voltage regulation essential for sensitive medical equipment.
Intelligent Distribution Network: Advanced Switchgear Infrastructure
The power distribution network comprises:
- 30 units of KYN28-12 high-voltage switchgear
- 8 units of HXGN-12 high-voltage ring main units
- 133 units of GCS low-voltage switchgear
This extensive switchgear infrastructure creates a clear, well-organized power distribution hierarchy, enabling precise control and protection at every level. The KYN28-12 high-voltage cabinets handle primary power distribution, while the HXGN-12 ring main units provide flexible circuit configuration and enhanced reliability through looped network topology. The 133 GCS low-voltage switchgear units distribute power to specific hospital departments and equipment, each protected by intelligent circuit breakers and monitoring devices.
Power Quality Optimization: Reactive Power Compensation System
To ensure superior power quality essential for precision medical equipment, the system incorporates advanced power factor compensation cabinets that actively manage reactive power, minimize harmonic distortion, and maintain stable voltage profiles throughout the facility.
The compensation system’s intelligent displays provide real-time visibility into power quality parameters, enabling proactive management and immediate response to any deviations that could affect sensitive diagnostic or therapeutic equipment.
Three-in-One Intelligent Backend System: The Brain of Smart Power Management
Zhongxin General Electric Energy implemented its proprietary “Three-in-One” intelligent backend system, representing the industry’s leading approach to comprehensive power management. This integrated platform seamlessly combines:
- Arc Flash Protection System: Detects and isolates arc flash incidents within milliseconds, protecting personnel and equipment from catastrophic electrical faults.
- Intelligent Power Distribution System: Provides real-time monitoring, load balancing, energy consumption analysis, and predictive maintenance capabilities across the entire power network.
- Comprehensive Power Monitoring System: Delivers centralized visualization and control of all electrical parameters, enabling facility managers to optimize energy efficiency, identify potential issues before they impact operations, and maintain detailed operational records for regulatory compliance.
This integration transforms traditional power distribution into an intelligent, self-monitoring, and self-protecting system that significantly enhances operational safety, reduces maintenance costs, and extends equipment lifespan through predictive maintenance strategies.
Mission-Critical Backup Power: Uncompromising Reliability for Life Support
Understanding that power interruptions in healthcare settings can directly threaten patient lives, Zhongxin General Electric Energy designed a multi-tiered emergency backup infrastructure ensuring continuous operation under all circumstances.
Advanced Battery Energy Storage System: 72-Hour Autonomy
The facility’s battery energy storage system provides an unprecedented 72 hours of backup power capacity for critical loads, far exceeding typical industry standards. This extended autonomy ensures that even during prolonged grid outages, the hospital can maintain:
- All life support systems in ICU and emergency departments
- Operating room equipment for ongoing surgical procedures
- Electronic medical records and patient monitoring systems
- Critical lighting and communication systems
- Refrigeration for medications and biological samples
As a result, the battery system serves as the first line of defense, providing instantaneous power continuity during the brief transition period when backup generators activate, ensuring absolutely seamless operation without any interruption to critical medical equipment.
Robust Diesel Generator Infrastructure: Extended Operation Capability
The facility’s generator infrastructure comprises:
- 2 units × 1800 kW diesel generator sets
- 1 unit × 1000 kW diesel generator set
- 2 units × 145 kW diesel generator sets
Each generator system includes complete auxiliary infrastructure:
- Integrated ventilation and cooling systems
- Exhaust gas treatment and noise attenuation
- Full-capacity fuel storage tanks
- Automated startup and synchronization controls
- Seamless transfer switching coordinated with battery storage
This layered backup approach ensures that within milliseconds of detecting a grid failure, the battery storage system maintains continuous power while generators start and stabilize. Subsequently, once generators reach operating temperature and voltage, they assume the primary backup role, with the battery system remaining on standby as an additional safety layer.
The multi-capacity generator configuration provides operational flexibility, allowing the hospital to run only the necessary generator capacity based on actual load requirements, optimizing fuel efficiency while maintaining full redundancy. During routine maintenance, any single generator can be taken offline without compromising the facility’s backup power capability.
Safety and Infrastructure Excellence: No Detail Overlooked
Beyond major equipment, Zhongxin General Electric Energy implemented comprehensive infrastructure ensuring long-term reliability and safety:
