- The battery storage project includes 42 MW of waste-heat-recovery systems and uses 8 MWp of solar capacity.
- The project would store about 46 million MWh of electricity annually, resulting in significant cost savings of $2.91 million.
NHOA Energy, an Italy-based solar technology developer, has announced the commissioning of a 107 megawatt-hour (MWh) battery storage project for a Taiwan Cement Corporation (TCC) cement plant in Yingde, southeastern China.
The battery storage project includes 42 megawatts (MW) of waste-heat-recovery systems and uses 8 MWp of solar capacity. The project would store about 46 million MWh of electricity annually, resulting in significant cost savings of $2.91 million. The system would also serve as a backup energy source during sudden blackouts.
The National Energy Administration (NEA) says China’s cumulative installed photovoltaic capacity reached 510 GW at the end of August. NHOA Energy said the project falls within the Guangdong provincial government’s energy storage development policy, making it eligible for expected subsidies.
The Chief Executive Officer of NHOA Energy, Giuseppe Artizzu, said, “NHOA Energy’s proprietary energy management system would optimise the generation and consumption profile of the industrial microgrid while also supporting the regional grid towards its 100 per cent green energy objectives.”
