Sungrow''s Energy Storage System Provides Support to Future Networks and Grid Operators
The ESS is not a simple mechanical stack-up. The success of an ESS is based on experience in different fields, including electrochemistry, power electronics, and power grid support
Sungrow, the global leading inverter and energy storage solution supplier and Enlight Renewable Energy, an Israeli traded (TASE: ENLT) Developer and IPP with global operation across the US, Europe, and Israel, announced a joint agreement which in that Sungrow will supply Enlight with 430 MWh of its flagship liquid cooled energy storage system (ESS). The contract is the largest ESS agreement signed to date in Israel, bolstering the country’s energy transition and marking a massive scale-up in installations for the newly launched system.
Last year the Israeli government introduced its goal of generating 30% of its electricity needs via renewables by 2030. Solar PV is expected to contribute to most of it, corresponding to 26% ofIsrael’srenewable electricity in 2030, indicating 12 GW to 15 GW of new PV installations in the coming decade. To reach such a high percentage of solar usage,Israelis currently aiming to develop an advanced solar-plus-storage system to ensure a stable and reliable electricity grid.
Sungrow will supply 430 MWh of its latest 4-hour liquid-cooled ESS, a combination of a contracted 230 MWh for stage 1 and a locked 200 MWh battery for stage 2, which enables profitability, flexibility, and safety.
The capital and operating expenses of Sungrow’s ESS are reduced as a result of pre-assembly, easy on-site installation, and a more effective cell working environment which slows capacity loss substantially. With the modular DC/DC converter, the battery rack can be fully charged and discharged. Further, the system is optimized in safety performance because of its standout anti-leakage design and an integrated aerosol fire fighting system. Combing with the solar system, the highly integrated ESS can be widely used in multiple applications, including energy shifting, ancillary service, like ramp rate control, reactive power provision, and more.
“We are excited to announce our first strategic procurement agreement in the energy storage arena via the selection of Sungrow’s New ESS Li-ion Solution. We believe that the combination of Sungrow’s product leadership and CATL’s cell technology will provide us with the superior solution we need for our advanced solar plus battery projects, driving best-in-class plant performance,” saidGilad Yavetz, CEO of Enlight Renewable Energy.
“Following a stringent selection process including visits to Sungrow’s ESS reference sites and manufacturing facility, and strict technical specifications, we are proud to be selected as the solution provider for Enlight’s 430 MWh project inIsrael, a landmark of installations which represents our commitments to the decarbonization process thatIsraelis leading,” saidTzvi Ben David, Country Manager of Sungrow Israel.
James Wu, Vice President of Sungrow also commented, “The advanced liquid-cooled ESS technologies we offer make it easier for our customers to turn more solar energy into assets. Israel is the key market for Sungrow to expand the global business. The booming of renewable energy entails a broader trajectory for energy storage development. Through our efforts, we have seen an intense desire by the people and the government to continue evolving in ways to the grid parity and a cleaner future.”
Israel, though a country with scarce land and natural resources, attachesgreatimportance to technologicalinnovation. As one of the most innovative and energetic PV and ESS players, Sungrow made its first entry into the Israeli market two years ago and has built a professional local team offering responsive service. Adding the 430 MWh project to its portfolio, the Company will gain over 50% of the Israeli market share in 2022. The Company endeavors to create value through its technology initiatives and application teaming up with more partners.
Intelligent insights & conversations with global power industry professionals
LONDON, Feb. 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Imagine the future, in which renewables will be the primary source of electricity generation, much of it from wind and solar plants. The power system impedance will become increasingly higher and the power system inertia will decline. As a result, the power system will become weak with a huge instability in both voltage and frequency.
To tackle the challenges of the weak power system, diverse ancillary services are required, including frequency response, reliability backup, voltage control, black-start and islanding services, etc. Energy storage plays in offering these ancillary services to fight climate change and ensure global adoption of clean energy grids.
The ESS is not a simple mechanical stack-up. The success of an ESS is based on experience in different fields, including electrochemistry, power electronics, and power grid support technologies. Together, these technologies will play a decisive part in ensuring that tomorrow''s energy system is secure, profitable, and resilient. Sungrow is one of a few of companies qualified for the experiences from these three fields and continues offering professional highly-integrated solutions to customers.
"At Sungrow, we believe that innovation holds the key to creating a more resilient energy system at every level. We pioneer in the energy storage realm and offer our liquid cooled energy storage systems (ESS), the PowerTitan and PowerStack designed for utility-scale as well as commercial and industrial (C&I) applications, which can guarantee high profitability and safety," said Dr. James Li, Director of PV & Energy Storage System Product Solutions from Sungrow Europe, in his speech titled, "How does Sungrow energy storage system provide support to future networks and grid operators?", at the recent Energy Storage Summit 2023 held on February 22-23 in the UK.
The liquid cooled ESS PowerTitan is optimized for utility-scale applications. The intelligent liquid cooled temperature control technology ensures higher efficiency and longer battery cycle life. The new DC-DC controller can charge and discharge battery racks individually, improving the overall system performance. The automatic state of charge (SoC) calibration and the automated coolant refilling considerably reduce operating and maintenance (O&M) costs.
In addition, tailored to C&I energy storage projects, Sungrow offers its liquid cooled ESS solution, the PowerStack. The solution is a portfolio with a battery capacity ranging from 250 kWh to 4 MWh, available for two- to four-hour applications. It features cell-level AI monitoring, enabling early alarming. In addition, the energy management system (EMS) intelligent scheduling increases the project''s yield by 10%.
"The C&I battery storage could lower Europe''s electricity costs for the C&I facilities which they are installed at but could also help manage the cost of power for consumers," presented Dr. James Li.
As an early entrant in the EMEA energy storage market, Sungrow has supplied its ESS to plenty of landmark projects including a 100 MWh project and a 391MWh project in the UK, and a 430 MWh project in Israel. The Company is poised to deploy more energy storage projects with its new liquid cooled ESS PowerTitan and PowerStack in the region.
