Gulang County is poised to revolutionize its renewable energy landscape with the near-completion of a 105MW/420MWh independent shared energy storage project in Sishui Town, Gulang County, Wuwei, Gansu, China. Expected to be operational by 31 December 2024, this “super battery” is designed to harness local wind and solar resources, enhancing the county’s capacity for sustainable power generation and grid stability.
The project, covering the installation of lithium iron phosphate batteries alongside a vanadium flow energy storage system, is the first phase of a broader initiative. The 330 kV substation, with dual lines connecting to Tumen and Huanghuatan stations, will facilitate smooth energy integration. Installation and testing of key components, including 20 PCS (power conversion system) units and 120 battery containers, are already underway, with final site preparations in progress.
Upon completion, the facility will be managed by the Gansu grid, contributing to grid peak shaving, frequency regulation, and emergency backup power. This development is expected to ease grid pressures, optimize renewable energy distribution, and bolster energy security in Gulang County.
