Recently, PowerChina and Shanghai Giant Energy Technology Co., Ltd. formally signed the "100MW Advanced Compressed Air Energy Storage EPC General Contract Contract", and officially won the bid for the world's first air compressed energy storage project.

Keywords: new energy projects, engineering news

The project has a construction scale of 100 MW/400 MWh. It was approved as the National Renewable Energy Demonstration Zone Demonstration Project in 2018, and was supported by the National Renewable Energy Demonstration Zone Industrial Innovation and Development Special Project and the Chinese Academy of Sciences Class A Pilot Special Project. After the project is completed, it will become the world's first 100 MW new compressed air energy storage system.

Compressed air energy storage system has the advantages of large scale, high efficiency, low cost, and environmental protection. It is considered to be a large-scale energy storage technology with great development potential. It can convert unstable electricity generated by renewable energy into stable and controllable energy. High-quality electric energy, effectively solve the problem of abandoning wind and light, and realize the large-scale consumption of renewable energy power generation. At the same time, energy storage services such as power peak shaving, frequency modulation, phase modulation, voltage support, spinning reserve, and emergency response can be implemented to improve the efficiency, stability, and safety of the power system. Editor/Xing Wentao
