Case Study on Energy Conservation and Carbon Reduction in Public Institutions | Yunnan Vocational College of Energy: A New “Carbon” Path through Industry-Education Integration

Apr 22,2026

On the main campus of Yunnan Energy Vocational and Technical College, photovoltaic arrays installed on building rooftops and parking canopy structures, together with an integrated energy storage system and both fast- and slow-charging stations, have been configured to form a small-scale campus microgrid. Since its commissioning in December 2025, this project has not only achieved clean and low-carbon energy use across the campus but has also, through a deeply integrated industry–education model, provided a replicable and scalable practical exemplar for green and low-carbon development in vocational institutions.

Revitalize idle spaces to build green power stations.

The project utilizes the rooftops of the teaching building, dormitories, and parking lot to construct 504 kW photovoltaic system ; Configuration 400 kW/860 kWh energy storage system , enabling intelligent dispatch under the peak-valley electricity price differential; meanwhile, deploying 17 fast and slow charging stations , to meet the campus’s demand for charging new-energy vehicles.

The system operates on a “self-generation for self-use, with surplus power fed into the grid” model. On sunny summer days, the photovoltaic system can generate more than 3,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity per day, meeting approximately 10% of the campus’s electricity demand and primarily supporting applications such as charging new-energy vehicles, landscape lighting, and the operation of training equipment.

The introduction of energy storage systems endows microgrids with a “smart brain.” Through the coordinated control of the battery management system and the energy management system, a full-function closed-loop has been achieved, encompassing energy storage dispatch, state monitoring, intelligent protection, data acquisition, and remote alarm notification, thereby making campus power consumption greener, more economical, and more reliable.

A real-world energy system becomes a “living textbook.”

Even more valuable is the fact that this fully operational energy system is not only the infrastructure of a green campus, but also The “Second Classroom” for New Energy Majors

The installation tilt angle of photovoltaic modules, the real-time conversion efficiency of inverters, the charge–discharge strategies for energy-storage batteries, and the dynamic load allocation of charging stations—each piece of equipment serves as a tangible teaching aid, and every operational data point is a living case study. Students majoring in new energy no longer need to travel far to visit power plants; they can step out of the classroom to directly engage with photovoltaic arrays and instantly read meter readings at their fingertips. Here, they learn system operation and maintenance, analyze operational data, and bridge the gap between theory and practical skills within a real-world production environment. Through hands-on practice, students master system principles, identify and address equipment risks, and enhance their O&M capabilities. Leveraging the integrated “factory-in-school, school-in-factory” model, they rapidly develop job-specific competencies, ensuring a seamless alignment between skills development and industry needs.

While reducing the school’s electricity costs and generating additional revenue, this project also supports the institution in cultivating new-energy technology professionals with practical, hands-on expertise. Truly achieves the integration of environmental, educational, and economic benefits. , fostering mutual empowerment between green development and talent cultivation.
