What is Xinjiang's longest-duration flow battery?

The 200MW/1GWh vanadium flow battery system, built with the participation of Dalian Rongke Power Co., Ltd., marks a historic milestone — ushering in the GWh era for flow battery technology. With a maximum energy storage duration of 5 hours, the project sets a new benchmark as Xinjiang’s longest-duration flow battery energy storage facility.

Why should Xinjiang invest in energy storage?

By extending storage duration and enhancing peak shaving, the system provides vital support for grid reliability. As part of a broader strategy to stabilize renewable energy output, Xinjiang continues to lead in the deployment of new energy storage technologies.

How many substations are in the Advanced Energy station?

The advanced energy station includes two major subsystems: Station 1: 150MW/750MWh system connected via six 35kV lines to the planned 220kV substation. Station 2: 50MW/250MWh system connected via two 35kV lines to a separate 220kV substation.
