BEIJING: Over the past few years, the energy storage industry in Haining, a county-level city of East China’s Zhejiang province, has ushered in rapid development, significantly contributing to the stability of power supply amid cold weather.
By the end of last year, 101 energy storage projects had been completed and connected to the power grid in Haining, with a total installed capacity of over 100 megawatts.
“Almost every week there are new distributed energy storage projects that need to be connected to the power grid,” said Hou Zihong, a staff member from the marketing department at State Grid’s Haining power supply company.
Zhong Jiewen, deputy director of the company’s marketing department, said the power supply company has developed a new system called “Chunengbao”, which enables the accurate calculation of energy storage capacity and provides high-quality technical support for relevant projects.
Currently, the deployable energy storage in Haining is able to largely meet the surging power needs during the winter season, said Zhong.
As a high-tech industry with a promising future, energy storage plays a significant role in building a new electric power system, as well as in developing green and low-carbon energies. It is expected to help achieve the “dual carbon” goals and can serve as a fresh impetus for economic growth. –The Daily Mail-China Daily news exchange item
