As the core equipment of Shanghai’s first large-scale new energy storage demonstration base featuring multiple parallel technical routes – the Fengxian Xinghuo Comprehensive Comparative Testing and Demonstration Base for Multiple New Energy Storage Technical Routes (Phase I) – official delivery has kicked off. The 3MW/12MWh vanadium flow battery energy storage system developed by Zhejiang Xingchen Xinneng Technology Co., Ltd. took the lead in completing production and was officially shipped out on August 4. With the arrival of this batch of core equipment, the project is about to fully enter the critical implementation phase of equipment installation and commissioning.
Since being filed with the Shanghai Municipal Development and Reform Commission in February this year, the Xinghuo Base project has been shouldering the strategic mission of promoting the iterative upgrading of China’s new energy storage technologies, demonstrating diversified technical routes, and accelerating their industrialization. Located in Fengxian Xinghuo Development Zone, the project has a total scale of 40MW/160MWh and brings together five technical routes including lithium-ion, vanadium flow, sodium-ion, and semi-solid-state batteries.
In a real power grid environment, the project will comparatively verify different technical routes and provide authoritative comparative data on key indicators such as safety, economy, and cycle life. This will help national and local governments accurately identify energy storage solutions with value for large-scale promotion.
