From pv magazine ESS news place
China’s state-owned power generation company Datang Group said on June 30 it had connected a 50 MW/100 MWh project in Qianjiang, Hubei province, to the grid, making it the world’s largest operational sodium-ion battery energy storage system.
The project represents the first phase of the Datang Hubei Sodium Ion New Energy Storage Power Station, which consists of 42 battery energy storage containers and 21 sets of boost converters. It uses large capacity sodium ion batteries of 185 amps, supplied by China’s HiNa Battery Technology, and is equipped with a 110 kV transformer station.
Previously, the largest operational sodium ion system was China Southern Power Grid’s Fulin 10 MWh BESS project, located in Nanning, southwest China. The power plant, which represents the first phase of a 100 MWh project, also features cells from HiNa Battery.
According to Datang Group, one of the five large-scale power generation companies in China, the project team has overcome many difficulties to successfully complete the Qianjiang project.
