Recently, the first independent shared energy storage demonstration project in Yunnan Province was connected to the grid. This project has a total installed capacity of 300MW/600MWh and is a significant milestone for the region's energy infrastructure. HiTHIUM provided advanced battery products that ensured the project's efficient and reliable operation.
The first independent shared energy storage demonstration project in Yunnan Province
Located in Yongren County, Chuxiong Prefecture, the project commenced in March 2024 and was completed in just five months. Also, this project spans 62.06 acres with a total investment of 850 million RMB. The project includes a 220kV step-up station and 179 lithium iron phosphate battery systems, which are designed to operate for 20 years with an expected annual discharge of 180 million kWh.
Based on the application requirements of the project, HiTHIUM provided self-developed energy storage battery products with high safety, long cycle life, and high efficiency to enable continuous innovation in customer applications. This product will improve system consistency, efficiency, and the levelized cost of energy, which ensures reliable local energy utilization and safe grid operation of the project.
The completion of the Yongren Zhixin Project addresses the challenges faced by nearby solar power plants, which have been struggling with grid integration due to the intermittent nature of solar energy. The project will enhance the flexibility and stability of the local power system, providing critical capacity leasing services for the surrounding 500kV Guanghui Substation and nearby renewable energy projects.
