Ultra-large sodium ion energy storage equipment manufacturing

What is Datang Hubei sodium ion new energy storage power station?

The project represents the first phase of the Datang Hubei Sodium Ion New Energy Storage Power Station, which consists of 42 battery energy storage containers and 21 sets of boost converters. It uses 185 ampere-hour large-capacity sodium-ion batteries supplied by China’s HiNa Battery Technology and is equipped with a 110 kV transformer station.

Will a 'terawatt-hour' sodium-ion battery industry form by 2030?

HiNa Battery’s general manager Li Shujun has claimed that the a ‘terawatt-hour’ sodium-ion battery industry will gradually form by 2030, Yicai Global added. The first phase of the world's largest sodium-ion battery energy storage system (BESS), in China, has come online.

Where is the world's largest battery storage system located?

July 12, 2024: The first phase of China’s state-owned Datang Group’s new energy storage power station has been connected to the grid in Qianjiang, Hubei Provence, making it the world’s largest operating sodium-ion battery storage system.

What is a sodium ion battery?

The sodium ion cells used in the project were provided by Sino-Science Sodium and the project marks a new stage in the commercial operation of sodium ion battery energy storage, the company said. Sodium ion batteries are cheap, recyclable, environmentally friendly, safe and are already showing impressive increases in power.

Where is China's largest sodium-ion system located?

Previously, the largest operational sodium-ion system was the China Southern Power Grid’s Fulin 10 MWh BESS project, located in Nanning, southwestern China. The power station, which represents the first phase of a 100 MWh project, also features HiNa Battery’s cells.

Why is China investing so much on sodium ion technology?

has been told anecdotally that one reason China is investing so heavily on sodium-ion technology is because of fears that, long-term, it could start to be cut out of the lithium supply chain.
