The Rudong project is the world's first commercial scale deployment of a non-pumped hydro, gravitational energy storage system. An anticipated 80% round trip efficiency puts the EVx™ ahead of competing long duration technologies such as flow battery, thermal, and compressed air energy storage.
[pdf] A new energy storage plant featuring sodium- and lithium-ion batteries has opened in China's Yunnan province. The energy storage station, operated by China Southern Power Grid, is approximately 33,333 square meters in size and features over 150 battery compartments, according to CnEVPost.
[pdf] Located 41 kilometers east of Kashgar, Xinjiang, this facility occupies 119,000 m2 and required an investment of close to 1.6 billion yuan. It is the first stage of a development that will eventually reach 1 GW / 4 GWh.
[pdf] On April 16 an explosion occurred when Beijing firefighters were responding to a fire in a 25 MWh lithium-iron phosphate battery connected to a rooftop solar panel installation. Two firefighters were killed and one injured. CTIF can now publish a translation of the Chinese report from the incident.
[pdf] As an emerging energy storage solution, the country's new type of water-based battery technology was first applied on March 26 in the eastern province of Jiangsu to boost fast green power charging and discharging.
[pdf] China has more than 30 reactors under construction and in planning, and France has announced plans to build 14 reactors. Technology giants, including Amazon, Google and Microsoft, are also investing in nuclear to power their energy-hungry data centres and lower their carbon emissions.
