Power storage track to "lithium" and think about the future

The State Grid Era Xiapu Energy Storage Power Station, located in Yuyangli Village, Changchun Town, Xiapu, is a huge system consisting of 250000 cores, 160 converters, 80 core management systems, 20 transformers and 1 energy management system that operates safely and stably. This year, the grid connection test and landing operation were successfully completed. The energy storage power station can provide 200000 kilowatt hours of electric energy in the peak period of daily power consumption to meet the low-carbon domestic power consumption of 100000 residents.

The energy storage power station is like a super capacity "charging treasure". When the power grid is at a low point, it uses renewable energy such as wind energy and solar energy to generate electricity to charge batteries, and converts electrical energy into chemical energy and stores it in batteries; During the peak power consumption of the power grid, the chemical energy stored in the battery is converted into electrical energy for discharge, which can participate in peak shaving and frequency modulation of the power grid, play the role of peak shaving and valley filling, and improve the new energy absorption capacity.

As a national energy storage benchmark project with a large scale, the successful operation also marks the development trend of Ningde in the new energy storage track. In recent years, relying on the world's leading lithium battery new energy industry foundation, Ningde has actively laid out a new track for the energy storage industry. Up to now, the market share of energy storage batteries has been the world leader for two consecutive years. In 2022, the city's energy storage battery shipments will be 53GWh, with a market share of 43.4%.
