Detai Storage’s 1.5MW/6MWh Vanadium Flow Battery Energy Storage Plant Commences Operation at Shanxi Kangwei Group
Date: 26 Aug 2024 |
August 26, 2024 - The Shanxi Kangwei Group has officially launched its 1.5MW/6MWh vanadium flow battery energy storage plant, marking a significant milestone in the group's green energy transition efforts. This project, constructed by Zhangjiagang Deta Energy Storage Equipment Co., Ltd., aligns with China's "dual carbon" strategy, emphasizing ecological improvement and low-carbon development.
Located strategically across company facilities, including the headquarters, Nanshan Coal, Mengziyu Coal, and Hongtai Coal Washing Plant, the new energy storage station integrates solar photovoltaic (PV) systems with the vanadium flow battery technology and electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure. The installation features 1,200 square meters of solar PV panels on rooftops, which convert solar energy into electricity and store excess power in the vanadium flow battery system. This stored energy can then be utilized during peak demand periods or to charge electric vehicles, optimizing the use and storage of solar energy.
The vanadium flow battery energy storage plant operates with a 10KV grid connection and is capable of generating an annual grid supply of 3,073.26 MWh, with an operational lifespan of 25 to 26 years. This innovative project not only enhances energy efficiency and reliability but also supports environmental sustainability by reducing pollution and conserving resources.
The energy storage plant offers several advantages, including high efficiency, flexibility, reliability, environmental friendliness, low maintenance costs, and energy management capabilities. It provides a sustainable energy solution that combines economic, social, and ecological benefits. Moreover, the plant supports the company's energy self-sufficiency while offering cost-effective EV charging services to the public, further optimizing the group's energy consumption structure and solidifying its commitment to a green and low-carbon transition.
