Chinesecontinues to prove its leadership in the field of renewable energy by capturing the “bests”. Chinese energy companies China Huadian and PowerChina have completed a world-class record-breaking project in the Shannan region of Tibet. highest altitude sun energy commissioned the power plant.

There is no higher

20 MW/80 MWh battery storage paired with total 150MW capacity power plant, 5,046 to 5,228 meters It is located at an altitude varying between . For context; The height of Mount Ararat is 5,137 meters. The first phase of the project was completed in December 2023 and became operational with a capacity of 50 MW at 5,100 meters. With the installation of the second 100 MW phase, the total capacity reached 150 MW. Both phases cover a total area of ​​1.4 square kilometers and from 170,000 solar panels is formed.

The project’s contractor, PowerChina, completed the project in just 115 days, 42 days ahead of schedule, using pre-assembled assemblies and on-site assembly lines, which increased construction efficiency by 40 percent despite the challenges of the plateau environment.

Snow increases energy production

Meanwhile, in the power plant, in the power plant, n-type bifacial TOPCon solar panels were used. These panels are in the region By taking advantage of the high reflectivity of the snow cover provides a significant increase in energy production. In this way, it increases efficiency by 20 percent compared to single-sided panels. The high altitude also ensures that the power plant is much less affected by low and middle clouds. In addition, the cold environment also reduces the problem of overheating of the panels.

In addition, a 20 MW/80 MWh capacity battery energy storage system developed by Sungrow is equipped with artificial intelligence-supported thermal management and liquid cooling technologies. This system provides rapid voltage and frequency regulation while increasing grid stability. The power plant will meet the electricity needs of 50 thousand households. It will also save approximately 46,700 tons of coal annually and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 101,800 tons.
