1 Energy Efficiency Challenges and Requirements

Canon Tien Son Factory, a key production facility of the group, requires a highly reliable cooling system to maintain the rigorous electronics manufacturing process. Operating a large Chiller system during peak production hours significantly increases operating costs.

Project objectives:

1. Provides additional, stable cooling capacity to the production environment.

2. Implement strategies to effectively cut electricity costs during peak hours.

3. Install sustainable solutions in outdoor areas, in accordance with industry standards.

2 Large Capacity Outdoor Cold Storage Tank Solution

ESS Vietnam has deployed an outdoor reinforced concrete Cold Storage Tank (TES) solution with a capacity of 8,000 kWh , designed to withstand industrial and weather conditions:

• Optimizing Electricity Costs: The system takes advantage of low electricity price periods to store 8,000 kWh of cooling capacity . This capacity is used to reduce the load or replace the operation of the main Chiller during peak hours.

• Production Assurance: Cold storage helps maintain stable production temperatures, eliminating the risk of interruption due to lack of cooling capacity during peak hours.

• Industrial Durability: The above ground concrete tank construction ensures long design life and easy integration into the plant Utilities system.

3 Investment Efficiency and Implementation Results

The Canon Tien Son project is a typical example showing that TES is a strategic investment, bringing sustainable financial benefits and improving operational efficiency.

• Reliable Financial Performance: The ability to save on electricity costs during peak hours helps the project achieve a payback period (ROI) of 4 years , in line with long-term industrial investment expectations.

• Delivery Time: The project was completed, installed and put into operation in February 2019 , ensuring continuity in the factory's operations.

3.1 Sustainable System Installation Process

Installation is carried out to a high standard, with a focus on durability and operational accessibility:

1. Concrete ice storage tank at Canon Tien Son factory seen from outside: Image of TES tank with completed structure, ready for operation, demonstrating the solidity and high durability of outdoor concrete structure.

   

2. Heat exchanger installed inside the tank: Deploy the installation of heat exchangers, the most important component to perform the charging and cooling function of the tank.

3. Tank Operation Access Door: Install dedicated access doors to ensure engineers can easily access the tank for routine inspection and maintenance, maintaining optimal operating performance.
