A groundbreaking energy initiative is about to transform Ma'anshan's energy storage landscape. The city's first 0.5MW/2MWh vanadium flow battery energy storage station, developed by the Shanghai Institute of Mechanical & Electrical Engineering with a total investment of 6.45 million RMB, is nearing operational status. The facility, located in the Hanshan Economic Development Zone within the Anhui Haili Precision Casting Co., Ltd. campus, has completed key commissioning stages, including communication systems, battery management systems, energy storage inverters, and monitoring platforms.
The project represents a milestone in energy storage technology, featuring cutting-edge vanadium flow battery systems renowned for their high-efficiency energy conversion and storage capabilities. Designed to store power during off-peak hours and release it during peak demand, the system aims to alleviate grid pressure, enhance power supply stability, and improve reliability.
Covering an area of 600 square meters, this advanced energy storage plant signals Ma'anshan's commitment to sustainable energy solutions. It also sets a new benchmark in the local energy storage sector, facilitating green energy transitions, driving high-quality energy industry development, and promoting renewable energy integration.
The State Grid Hanshan Power Supply Company has played a critical role in enabling grid connectivity for the plant. Their ongoing efforts include conducting research on future energy storage strategies, optimizing project integration with existing energy resources, and advancing the creation of an interactive, modernized power grid system.
This pioneering project underscores Ma'anshan's dedication to technological innovation and environmental responsibility, laying the foundation for a greener, more sustainable future.
