A carbon reduction demonstration project integrating solar power generation with power storage and charging recently broke ground.
Jointly developed by China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) and China Southern Power Grid (CSG), it is expected to be the largest parking shed distribution solar power generation project in Zhuhai of South China's Guangdong Province.
It will be of great significance to promoting clean energy production, electrification of energy consumption and green energy structure in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
With a planned construction period of about 150 days, the solar-power storage-charging integration project will include storage power generation facilities that will cover an area of 300 square meters and feature 42,000 sq m of photovoltaic panels, equaling the size of six football pitches and having a total installed capacity of 6.5 megawatts.
The parking shed will cover an area of 19,000 sq m and its roof will be installed with photovoltaic panels, which can not only protect vehicles from the sun and rain but also provide power for production in affected area.
The parking shed can accommodate as many as 890 vehicles, and will incorporate charging piles and energy storage to realize power storage and charging.
Based on a smart management system, the project is expected to realize net zero carbon operation as it is capable of carrying out real-time monitoring, analysis and optimization of energy consumption, through which operation costs can be cut down.
What's more, as the project can store extra power and release it during the peak power consumption period, it is expected to effectively support power supply in Zhuhai.
