This project opened on June 30, 2024, with battery cells supplied by Zhongke Haina, making it the largest sodium-ion battery energy storage system in the world. The storage system consists of 42 battery containers and 21 integrated booster and conversion machines, in addition to a 110 kV booster station.
With 50 MW/100 MWh capacity, it surpasses the previously largest operational sodium-ion project. This structure includes 42 battery energy storage containers and 21 sets of boost converters. The power station uses 185 ampere-hour large-capacity sodium-ion batteries, supplied by HiNa Battery Technology.
The 10-MWh sodium-ion battery storage station was put into operation on May 11 in Nanning, Guangxi in southwestern China, China Southern Power Grid Energy Storage, the energy storage division of China Southern Power Grid, said on May 11.
The installation of such a large-scale Sodium-ion Battery system marks a new era in energy storage. Sodium-ion batteries offer a promising alternative to Lithium-ion batteries, primarily because they use more abundant and less expensive materials. This helps to reduce the overall cost of energy storage systems.
The energy storage station can store 100,000 kWh of electricity on a single charge, which can meet the needs of around 12,000 households for a day.
