On November 7, 2024, the world’s largest grid-forming energy storage project, located in Northwest China with a capacity of 300MW/1200MWh, successfully achieved a full-capacity grid connection, utilizing Kehua's grid-forming system integration solutions.
As the provider of the energy storage integrated solution, Kehua delivered a grid-forming energy storage system that showcased strong technical advantages and project management expertise. The Kehua project team overcame numerous challenges, such as high elevation and high temperature, to ensure the smooth progress of the project.
In the lead-up to the grid connection, Kehua's specialized project team meticulously reviewed the connection plan, established specific implementation strategies and objectives, and focused on detailed testing. The team conducted thorough assessments and tracking of related tasks to ensure that all prerequisites for power reception were effectively met.
During the connection process, the project team coordinated efforts and closely monitored the operational status of the equipment, successfully completing tasks such as equipment debugging, system testing, various safety inspections, and the power connection operation, resulting in a successful first-time connection.
The 300MW/1200MWh grid-forming independent energy storage project in Northwest China is the largest of its kind in the global lithium iron phosphate battery storage sector, setting a benchmark for grid-forming energy storage solutions worldwide. It plays a significant role in the energy transition of the Northwest region and contributes positively to the development of new power systems.
Once operational, the project will not only provide robust energy storage support for local wind and solar power sources but also supplement the grid during peak electricity demand periods, effectively alleviating the power supply and demand imbalance and promoting the sustainable and healthy development of the local renewable energy industry.
