Recently, a 500MW/2000MWh energy storage project in western China successfully achieved full-capacity grid connection. As the region's first GWh-scale "grid-forming+grid-following" hybrid energy storage benchmark project, it innovatively employs a dual-coordination operation mode that effectively enhances grid stability and improves renewable energy absorption capability. As the project's core equipment supplier, HiTHIUM primarily provided ∞Cell 587Ah high-capacity energy storage battery products to ensure the project's efficient implementation and support the region's green energy transition.
In recent years, in pursuit of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals, the western region has leveraged its unique wind and solar resources to continuously expand its new energy industry layout and promote the large-scale development of clean energy projects such as wind power and photovoltaic power.
Against this backdrop, this energy storage project was launched. Its implementation and operation will further improve the regional energy storage infrastructure and resolve the challenges of integrating renewable energy into the grid.
According to reports, the project consists of 30 grid-forming energy storage units and 56 grid-following energy storage units, operating in conjunction with 86 integrated converter-booster units and 344 lithium iron phosphate battery modules. Once connected to the grid, the project is expected to generate 440 million kilowatt-hours of electricity annually, enough to meet the annual electricity needs of 147000 ordinary households.
HiTHIUM's ∞Cell 587Ah high-capacity energy storage battery meets the demands of large-scale power systems. Utilizing advanced materials and manufacturing processes, ∞Cell 587Ah battery boasts a cycle life exceeding 11000 cycles. This product offers multi-dimensional advantages, including "high performance, high safety, high reliability, long-cycle life, and high adaptability". It significantly enhances the consistency and operational efficiency of energy storage systems while effectively reducing the levelized cost of energy over the entire lifecycle.
The successful grid connection of the Zhonglvdian project marks another breakthrough for HiTHIUM's battery products in large-scale applications within major energy storage scenarios. It injects powerful green momentum into addressing new energy consumption challenges in desert and wildernesss regions, while supporting high-quality development in western China.
Moving forward, HiTHIUM will continue to focus on energy storage technology innovation and expand application scenarios, supporting the implementation of more energy storage projects with safer and more reliable product solutions, thereby bringing the benefits of clean energy to more regions and people.
