Sungrow, teaming up with Huanghe Hydropower Development, has announced the grid connection of China’s largest solar-plus-storage project.
Comprising of a 2.2 GW PV park and a 202.86 MW/202.86 MWh energy storage plant, the landmark project is connected to the 800 kV ultra-high voltage power line, facilitating the transfer of power from the west of China to the country’s densely populated east.
The ultra-high voltage power line in China is set to maximize the consumption of renewable energy as the solar resources deployed unevenly by region, significantly fueling the transition to a low carbon economy for eastern China and facilitating the western economic growth.
Sungrow offers its PV and energy storage portfolio coming with an embedded sub-array energy management function that can be used to control the output of solar and storage, allowing for improved accuracy of solar generation forecasts. The flexibly-built microgrid system with Sungrow PV and energy storage system can supply electricity in the early construction period, making it one of the fastest completed renewable energy projects with a construction duration of over 4 months. The combination of PV and energy storage can also bring additional benefits, like ensuring grid stability.
JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd., one of the largest and innovative solar module manufacturers in the world, announced on Friday, November 29, that it has supplied 300MW of its high energy density Tiger panels for an ultra-high voltage demonstration plant in Qinghai Province, China.
