To address the challenges posed by global climate change, developing green energy systems characterized by informatization, digitalization, and intelligence is crucial for achieving carbon neutrality. This article is a research report type paper on water source heat pump (WSHP) energy stations, aiming to use digital twin technology and other information technologies to resolve conflicts between clean energy development and efficient energy utilization. The primary objective of this study is to identify and analyze issues in traditional energy station operations and management systems. Based on this analysis, specific technical solutions are proposed, including pathways for technological research, methodologies, and content. The results provide a comprehensive theoretical framework for the intelligent transformation of energy station systems and essential technical support for the WSHP energy station project in the Hankou Binjiang International Business District. The findings have significant implications for the widespread adoption of WSHP energy stations and the achievement of national carbon neutrality goals.
