China southern power grid deploys energy storage

What is China Southern power grid energy storage?

China Southern Power Grid Energy Storage, the energy storage division of China Southern Power Grid, has commissioned a 10 MWh sodium-ion battery storage station in Nanning, southwestern China. The company said the facility is the first large-scale project of its kind in China, and the first phase of a 100 MWh global project.

Where is China Southern power grid deploying a 10 MWh sodium-ion battery?

China Southern Power Grid has deployed a 10 MWh sodium-ion battery in China’s Guangxi Zhuang region. It is the first phase of a 100 MWh project. China Southern Power Grid Energy Storage, the energy storage division of China Southern Power Grid, has commissioned a 10 MWh sodium-ion battery storage station in Nanning, southwestern China.

How efficient is China's battery energy storage system?

In an interview with China Central Television, Gao Like, a manager at the Guangxi branch of China Southern Power Grid, said that the energy conversion efficiency of its sodium-ion battery energy storage system exceeds 92%. It’s comparable to the efficiency of common lithium-ion battery storage systems, at 85-95%.

Where is China's first sodium-ion battery energy storage station?

China’s first major sodium-ion battery energy storage station is now online, according to state-owned utility China Southern Power Grid Energy Storage. The Fulin Sodium-ion Battery Energy Storage Station entered operation on May 11 in Nanning, the capital of the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region in southern China.

Can immersion cooling improve China's Energy Security?

Its operation marks a successful application of immersion cooling technology in new-type energy storage projects and is expected to contribute to China's energy security and stabilization and its green and low-carbon development. Developed by China Southern Power Grid (CSG), the plant has a capacity of 70 megawatts/140 megawatt-hours.

Can a local power grid transmit power back to the central grid?

Due to existing infrastructure limitations in China, local power grids cannot transmit power back to the central power grid. Thus, in the SWITCH-China model, we attach Demand-side batteries to the local grid, which allows them to be charged from the central grid but only discharged to the local grid.
