World's Largest Source-Grid-Load-Storage Demonstration Project Makes Key Progress

Hoisting of 80 wind turbines at a source-grid-load-storage demonstration project in Ulaanqab, North China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, was completed on Nov 22, concluding the project's first phase. 

With a total designed installed capacity of 425 megawatts, each of the 80 wind turbines is 96 meters high and has 76.5-meter blades, which is currently the largest onshore single unit wind turbine.

The project has designed total wind and solar capacities of 1.7 million and 300,000 kilowatts, respectively. A 550,000-kW supporting power storage system is also included.

Once completed, the project is expected to become the world's largest individual new energy depot with the largest storage installation.
