China's largest solar-plus-storage project connected to the grid

Comprising of a 2.2 gigawatt PV park and a 202.86 megawatt/202.86 megawatt hours energy storage plant, the project is connected to the 800 kilovolt ultra-high voltage power line, facilitating the transfer of power from the west of China to the country's densely populated east. This ultra-high voltage power line is set to maximize the consumption of renewable energy, as the solar resources are deployed unevenly by region. This significantly fuels the transition to a low carbon economy for eastern China and facilitates economic growth in the western regions.

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.
